Soft in cream nuances or in intense shades, the yellow colour brighten up your summer wardrobe. Whether on a sculptural dress, an oversized jacket, a statement bag or a pair of sharp sandals, without obviously forgetting the sneakers, the key word is: intensity.
Last year it was the time of delicate, almost shy pastel. There Spring-Summer 2026however, extends the trend to the more vivid and saturated shades, up to the electric ones. In the seasonal collections it is a triumph of shades of mimosa, dandelion, lemon and Tuscan sun. On the wave – of light – established on the catwalk by Prada, Ferragamo, Fendi and Jacquemus.
The highlight color for the wardrobe change
The idea that yellow is just a sweet parenthesis, a gentle accent to insert between beige and pastel has been archived. The brightest color raises the volume and claims space. No longer (only) in polite butter nuance, now it is also a bright flash that reveals itself through intense, vibrant, electric shades. Full mimosa, bright dandelion, bright lemon, Tuscan sun. They light up long dresses, oversized jackets, statement bags, evening sandals and everyday sneakers. Transforming every look in a moving light point.
The neon jacket on the bon ton suit
As per ritual, the Prada show identifies the shocking nuances at the right point. Promoting a new fascination for surprising and unconventional gradations. Among which one stands out canary yellow almost industrial. A type of yellow that exudes personality regardless, inserted into bold and rigorous outfits at the same time.
On the camel colored shirt and the black skirt in sculpted fabric, there could only be the (oversized) shacket inside neon tone. A brushstroke of pure energy, for a deliberately alienating, intellectual, irresistible result.
Large volumes and impalpable textures
For Jacquemus however, the trend is to be understood in modality monochrome and in models that include large lengths of fabric. The flared top/tunic, in warm yellow, almost citrusyit is one with the midi-length maxi full skirt. The solution color blocking integral, it is completed with two unexpected accessories. The transparent ballet flats and the marine-style two-tone striped clutch.

There Puzzle Edge by Loewe stands out for its mini size, overlapping panel construction and visible stitching. A small design masterpiece, which catches the eye in any case.
From Fendi, the it-bag it is tinged with a compact, almost enamelled mimosa. Combined with neutral looks but with geometric textures (such as a pleated white look) the bag immediately becomes the gravitational center of the outfit, illuminating it with energy and character.
