Trending shades of 2026: a designer’s choice
The fashion of 2026 favors elegance over bright accents, creating exquisite color combinations.
According to Andre Tan, the popular palette combines calmness, emotionality, and depth, allowing you to create stylish images without unnecessary details.
Deep purple shades and classic denim
Andre Tan singles out dark plums and rich purples among the key shades of 2026. They are successfully combined with traditional blue denim, creating looks that are suitable for both casual and more sophisticated styles – from outerwear to accessories.
Purple brings expressiveness and nobility to images, and denim promotes harmony, reducing excessive drama.
Warm muted orange instead of acidic shades
In 2026, bright neon colors will give way to soft, warm orange. Andre Tan advises paying attention to noble shades that go well with beige, brown tones, and denim textures.
This color fits into the basic wardrobe and is suitable for coats, jackets, knitwear, and accessories.
Lilac is the new universal trend of the season.
The purple palette in 2026 will be diverse – from light pastel tones to deep, rich shades. The designer emphasizes that this color gives lightness, tenderness, and sophistication to images.
Lilac looks good in both minimalist and romantic or urban stylizations.
Dusty pink
Pink remains in fashion, but in 2026 it will evolve into a discreet, dusty pink shade. This tone harmonizes with boho style, light fabrics, and summer dresses.
Tiffany turquoise accents and shades
The designer recommends using light blue, mint, and turquoise colors for accents. They are suitable for accessories, light fabrics, and summer looks, giving lightness and freshness.
These shades can turn even simple stylizations into more expressive and relevant ones.
Beige classic with bright accents
Beige and brown remain in fashion, but in the new year, it is recommended to combine them with more active colors – mint, orange, and turquoise.
The red color also remains popular, but shifts to a deeper, more restrained tone, retaining its energy.
The revival of color blocking
Andre Tan especially emphasizes the return of color blocking. Bold combinations, monochrome images, and the game of contrasts are becoming relevant again.
The designer urges not to be afraid to experiment and to combine several trendy shades in a single image to create bright, emotional sets.
