With Summer in full swing, color is at the front of everyone's wardrobes. With practically infinite options, it's often difficult to find the best color combinations that have ruled both the runways and our favorite It girls' Instagrams. From mixing vibrant colors like blue and orange to pairing opposing colors, there are so many choices for embracing color this year. L'OFFICIEL rounds up the 6 greatest color combinations you have to try this summer. 

Neutral Blend

Mixing several neutrals is a minimal way to embrace texture, depth, and personality into your wardrobe without going over the top. This color combination (or rather, lack thereof) is effortless in its experimentation with mixing essential wardrobe staples. Though it's often been frowned upon to mix cool and warm-toned neutrals, mixing browns and grays has never been chicer. 

Supermodel and fashion influencer Anok Yai was spotted blending beautiful neutrals on her Instagram. A rich army green overlay skirt, an opaque tan geometric top, and knee-high brown boots take the rein for effortless an color combination. Though the monochrome look has been a staple for the past several years, mixing different neutral is a relaxed way to bring depth into your outfit. 

 
 
 

Orange & Blue

A true color combination, orange and blue contrast and elevate one another when paired. Vibrant orange has been a staple for many celebrity It girls recently and blending the intense color with a peaceful color like blue gives your look the absolute best of both worlds. 2023 has been the year of blue, so juxtaposing this classic color with something so over the top as orange is an exciting way to experiment with fun color combinations. 

The iconic nepo baby and daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost, Iris Law, tried this color combination trend out with a button-down baby blue shirt and orange silk skirt. She added depth and texture with a cream vest to add dimension to her outfit. 

 
 

Purple & Black

Mixing vibrant colors with black is no new idea: but the black and purple combination has been a favorite recently with fashion girls. Both colors are rich, and when they're paired, the two have never looked better. Their complementary nature only enhances their depth. This color combination is effortlessly simple because black is a staple in anyone's wardrobe. 

Wildflower Cases founder Devon Lee Carlson wore a black bra and sky-high stilettos along with a purple blouse, skirt, and hobo bag to the Versace Fall/Winter 2023 show. Model Jordan Daniels rocked a purple and black lingerie set while walking in Rihanna's Savage X Fenty Spring/Summer 2023 show. Needless to say, pairing purple and black has been an iconic combination this year. 

 
 

Lime Green & Gray

Lime green was a staple during Spring/Summer 2023 fashion week. Pairing this exaggerated color with gray soothes the over-the-top nature of lime green. During Fendi's Spring/Summer 2023 show, bright lime green graced the runways. Collina Strada emphasized this lime green obsession as well during their Spring/Summer 2023 collection. Along with a muted gray, lime green stands out even more than usual. 

Bella Hadid wore a lime green sweatsuit along with a muted gray-toned puffer jacket that exemplified this color combination. Other fashion influencers have experimented with this color pairing as well, marking it as one to try out this year.  

 
 
 

Light Blue & Gray 

Blue has arguably been the It color of 2023. Powder blue graced the runways in the Fendi, Hermès, and Givenchy collections this year. Keeping true to the effervescent, soothing notions of blue, gray stays true to this look. As a muted moment, light blue and gray is an easy color combination. Simple to pair with their similar hue, these colors are beautifully light for this Spring season. 

Sydney Carlson rocked a muted blue mesh bell sleeve shirt with gray, cross studding to the Blumarine Fall/Winter 2023 show during Milan Fashion Week. Emily Ratajkowski wore a sheer sky blue dress to the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party with gray underwear. This luminescent look highlights just how effortless the blue and gray color combination truly is. 

 
 

Red & Blue

Primary colors red and blue are a classic color combination for a reason. This color pairing is best done with athletic wear as it gives an oh-so-sporty vibe to any look. Tomato red was an imperative color moment for this year's fashion season. The bright, classic shade of red was seen in several collections including Ferragamo, Victoria Beckham, and Courrèges. Paired with a night-sky-inspired navy, red compliments this athletic look. 

Influencer Ruby Lyn tried this sporty color combination with an elevated point-toe shoe that dressed the look up. EmRata did what she does best with bright blue Adidas sweatpants with a red turtle neck for a casual Instagram moment. The red and blue combination is perfect for a casual day.
