If there’s one thing we took away from the spring runways, it’s that 2026 is the year of bright and bold colors. While we tend to associate spring with delicate and soft pastels, this season we’re setting aside the saccharine hues for vibrant primary tones. A Crayola color palette was spotted in many of the major collections, in particular Loewe, Lanvin, Versace, Prada, and Fendi to name a few, who made a strong case for color and joy—whether styled in head-to-toe monochromatic looks or in a mix-and-match manner creatively layered.
Of course, our favorite brands and retailers have been quick to catch on, and after a perusal of Nordstrom, Zara, and J.Crew this week, I spotted a whole host of new arrivals in three bold colors in particular: fire-engine red, cobalt blue, and kelly green. If you’re keen to lean into the anything-but-boring color trends this spring, then take a look below, as I’m sharing the chicest red, blue, and green finds from the three retailers that I highly recommend getting your hands on for the upcoming spring season. They’ll unquestionably add a trend-forward (and mood-boosting) touch to your outfits.
