The Spring 2021 Colors You're Going to See Everywhere
From striking silver to not-so-mellow yellow.


I know the weather is just starting to cool down and you're all about your fall wardrobe, but I'm about to give you something to look forward to. As you read up on the upcoming clothing, bag, and shoe trends, there's one thing you'll most definitely notice about Spring/Summer 2021: Color. After a long however-many-months in quarantine (I've lost count), the last thing I want to do come springtime is wear head-to-toe black. Luckily, that won't be on the menu, thanks to a variety of bold hues spotted on the runway. From sunny yellows to pretty pinks and striking silvers, Spring 2021 will be happy and bright. So check out the below and get excited for some color in your future.

Striking Silvers
This season, Paco Rabanne, Balmain, Balenciaga, Burberry, and Isabel Marant sent sexy silver silhouettes down the runway, proving that there will not be a shortage of party clothes come springtime. From chainmail to lamé, this metallic hue is going to be major for 2021.

Not So Mellow Yellow
Sunshine yellows brightened up the runway this season. From this acid yellow look from the first Miuccia Prada & Raf Simons collaboration to luscious lemon dresses at Versace and hints of yellow in the accessories at Fendi, this color will boost your mood come springtime.

White Out
A palate cleanser this season among all the bright colors: Head-to-toe white looks. We saw different versions of an all-white blazer and trouser combo from Fendi, Victoria Beckham, and Max Mara. The brands chose to keep the styling minimal, with sleek accessories creating an overall clean look.

The Frankie Shop Elvira Belted Suit Pants with Button Tab Cuff in White
You can't go wrong with a pair of classic white trousers—they're a great piece to have in your closet. For a dressed-up look, rock them with a matching white jacket and a blouse. Or you can keep things laidback and pair the trousers with a black muscle tee and some platform sneakers.



Pretty in Pink
From Philosophy (pictured here) and Chanel to Molly Goddard and Giambattista Valli, shades of ultra-feminine baby doll pink popped up as one of spring's biggest colors. If you're not the type to gravitate towards such a girly hue, the bold fuchsia seen at LaQuan Smith might be more your speed.

Mowalola Pink Leather Suit Trousers
Pink doesn't always have to be light, frilly, and ultra girly. This season, LaQuan Smith gave us glossy '70s inspired looks in a bold fuchsia, proving that pink can be sexy. If that sounds like your vibe then Mowalola is one to watch. The Nigerian-born London based newcomer is known for working with leather and PVC in a variety of bold colors.

Ganni Merino Wool Cardigan
The Chanel show featured all different shades of pink, but what stood out to me was the variety of light pink cardigans. Style this Ganni sweater with some black and white pinstripe trousers to recreate this look.


Miaou Green Campbell Corset
Try a sexy corset-style top this spring. Rock it with the matching skirt for a full lime look or pair it with jeans to keep things casual.



Orange Ya Glad?
Don't be afraid of wearing orange. Yes, it's bold—but it was one of the most prevalent colors on the Spring 2021 runways. As with this sexy Sportmax dress, all it needs is a summer tan and a strappy gold sandal. The hue was also spotted at other shows like Acne, Ferragamo, Valentino, Burberry, Versace, MSGM, Miu Miu and more to remind us not to shy away from bold colors.
