I've always considered myself a fairly perceptive person (hello, fellow introverts), and it has certainly come in handy as a fashion editor. My attention to detail has helped me pick up on trends while speedily scrolling through retailers or Instagram. "I know I've seen this before" frequently pops into my head, and I begin to put together multiple examples of a trend for a story like this one.
Last month, I wrote about the three color trends dominating at H&M, Madewell, and Mango, and now, I've turned my sights on the well-dressed women of Instagram. What colors are they backing right now? For starters, Aimee Song is such a big fan of pale yellow that she included several different pieces in her latest Song of Style launch. Scroll down to shop the prettiest summer colors I keep seeing all over Instagram and shop pieces for yourself.
1. Olive Green
This sleek and simple A-line frock is calling your name.
Comfortable enough to lounge around the house in.
Hurry—this pretty skirt won't be on sale forever.
Sweatpants, but make it fashion.
2. Pale Yellow
The perfect crop top to see you through summer.
Sweatshorts are a major trend right now, and even Gwyneth Paltrow has jumped on board.
I love the pretty ruching detail on this cute puff-sleeve top.
Square necklines are as popular as ever right now.
This new arrival from Aimee Song's brand is so darling.
Gingham is a major trend this summer.
3. Orange and Pink
This vibrant top deserves to be paired with a tropical cocktail and some Beach Boys playing in the background.
It's time to up your WFH game.
Admit it: Your gray sweats could use a break.
The tie-dye trend shows no signs of slowing down.
4. Bright Turquoise
I always love a good sale at Other Stories.
So much more fun than a basic black bra.
This is one of my favorite sale finds from Shopbop right now.
I love this off-the-shoulder neckline.
