Move over butter yellow: This is summer 2026’s new color trend
Mint is emerging as summer 2026’s surprise color trend, replacing butter yellow in the spotlight; Cool, fresh and unexpectedly chic, it pairs well with white, brown, silver, burgundy and deep red
In the fashion world, the color trend for summer 2026 is being dubbed "toothpaste dressing" due to its shade resembling toothpaste in an elegant, wearable form. This specific mint color is chosen for its fresh, cool, and optimistic vibe, while also appearing unexpected and surprising. Fabrics like satin, silk, organza, and tweed enhance the mint shade, preventing it from looking like a hospital aide's uniform.
High-end fashion houses like Chanel, Dior, and Fendi have embraced the trend by incorporating mint into their spring-summer 2026 collections.
Mint pairs exceptionally well with white, creating a clean and luxurious appearance. Brown complements mint for a chic look, while silver gives off a futuristic feel. For those who prefer contrasting colors, mint can be paired with burgundy or deep red. If the boldness of mint feels overwhelming, it can also be used sparingly, such as on flip-flops, bags, or silk scarves. More dedicated trend-followers can even opt for a complete mint suit.
