Spring fashion is having a full-on color moment, with juicy, fruit-inspired shades stealing the spotlight. Designers and influencers are leaning into a zesty palette, taking cues straight from nature’s most vibrant produce so it's no surprise that we've injected some of this inspiration into our latest pattern collections!
Think vintamin-rich berry tones, zingy lemon yellows, tangerine oranges, watermelon pinks, and fresh lime greens. From citrus-bright dresses and separates to juicy little pops in your accessories, this trend is all about dialling up the color and having a bit of fun with it. It’s an easy way to give your wardrobe that fresh, just-squeezed energy.
It might not count towards your five-a-day, but it will definitely give your handmade wardrobe a seriously healthy glow-up. Here's how to get the look...
Elle Woods once said: "Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed" but that was Legally Blonde and this is NOW! Orange is often associated with confidence, positivity, happiness and warmth. What better hue to wear for the new spring season? Saint Laurent made tangerine the signature color of its SS26 collection. Scared of the head to toe look? Pair separates with more neutral hues such as white and tan. Or pair with bold pink and blue for a statement combo.
Lemon, Banana and Yuzu
Happy hues are a huge trend in terms of dopamine dressing, and there's nothing more joyful than yellow. Like other straight-from-the-plate color trends, yellow fruit is a delicious concept for fashion - Look out for creamy-toned variations rather than acidic brights. We love a full yellow look and you can also keep it soft with shades of khaki or cream, or pair with chocolate brown, wispy pink, and icy blue.
Berry and Guava Shades
Fashion loves following food trends so expect to see AND smell guava everywhere as brands embrace this vibrant, tropical colorway. Berry juice is also reimagined in watery pink shades to show off the lushness of these fruits. If you want to boost your mood – soft pink is proven to have calming effects. To extend that calm vibe, wear with crisp white, cream, gray, and denim.
Pink Grapefruit and Peach
It's time for pink's more coral colored friend to take center stage, think watermelon juice - a warmer tone that creates a vibrant glow. Chloé played with combination of apricot and peach mixed fabrics in their SS26 collection. It can be worn head to toe as it suits a wide range of skin tones, highlighting natural flush but darker skintones may prefer reds or deep pinks for more contrast. For a mixed look pair with with soft white or cool blues.
Lime, Kiwi and Melon
None of those fruits have a reputation for being particularly easy to wear but these alternative tones of green have a wide variety depending on how much yellow they contain, meaning we're sure you'll find the right version for you. We saw the sharp shades of this color on the Prada runway for their Spring Summer collection (even the brand’s actual runway was a glossed clementine orange) proving fruity hues come in every color.
Blueberry Hues
Okay so blueberry juice is purple but let's enjoy the berry form with it's distinct blue color. There’s an inherent calmness to blue, but in 2026, it feels far from sleepy. Of course it pairs with classic white but when styled alongside deeper blues, rich reds, chocolate browns or flashes of pink, the shade makes more of a statement. Many fashion houses are using blue as a base layer with additional garments on top but Victoria Beckham embraced washed icy blue as a key color in her 2026 collection.
Cherry, Strawberry and Cranberry
There’s no denying we had our fun with Barbie pink, but its time for a far fierier hue. Ironically it was Margot Robbie who helped lead the change with her bold red looks in Wuthering Heights. We think the LRD (little red dress) is as essential as the infamous LBD but if you prefer separates, you're in luck because red goes with everything! Red has always been a popular shade but in 2026 its tomato, deep cherry, and rich cranberry.
