Summer nostalgia isn’t just a feeling, it can also be understood as a palette.
The start of summer often brings a familiar rhythm — time by the water, long swims, and days that stretch into sunset. There’s an ease to it: sun-warmed skin, hair still damp, and pieces you reach for without overthinking. Summer, more than anything, is about comfort in what you wear.
This season that feeling is reflected in aquamarine the color trend of the summer.
For Summer 2026, aquamarine stands out as a defining shade, appearing across recent runways. The color draws directly from the natural environment — clear crystal waters, light reflecting off the surface of the sea, and the tones seen along shorelines and coastal landscapes.
It translates that sense of time spent by the beach into clothing that feels easy, wearable, and connected to that setting. Here are the latest pieces from ViX Paula Hermanny to lean towards as you enter your aquamarine era.
The Aquamarine Color Trend
A color that embodies summertime. Truly. If summer were a color, it would be aquamarine. The hue is versatile and there is a unique range to it, too. It sits somewhere between sea and sky. It can lean lighter or darker, and range from the blue side to more green in tone. It feels cool, clear, and quietly striking. It carries a sense of calm and clarity which is exactly what summer dressing is all about right now. It’s the kind of color that evokes memories for a lot of us, but still feels current.
How to Style Aquamarine
Across swim and ready-to-wear, aquamarine integrates easily into a summer wardrobe. It pairs naturally with sun-faded neutrals like natural and off white, as well as metallic accents like gold or silver jewelry. Layer your look with textural elements like a raffia bucket hat or tote bag.
Consider this your summer color story. Discover aquamarine across swim and ready-to-wear, and dress in the shade that defines the season.
