Not Red, Not Milky—The Chicest French People Are Wearing This Unexpected Pedicure Colour for Summer
The warmer weather is finally here, and this is the most stylish nail-polish colour to pair with your sandals this season.
When it comes to summer pedicure trends, you can expect to see some classic nail polish colours in the mix, from bold red hues to soft, milky white shades. I'm a big fan of these timeless trends, but sometimes it's nice to switch things up for the season ahead. So, when I was scrolling through Instagram and saw some of the chicest French women sporting a summer chocolate brown pedi, I was immediately sold.
It's safe to say this deep, rich hue is rather unexpected for the warmer months. In fact, it's usually a huge nail trend in autumn and winter, so I was a little surprised to see people sporting chocolate-brown polishes with their summer sandals. However, there's no denying how chic it looks. Perhaps it's down to the unexpected factor, but the warm shade looks incredible paired with summer tones, especially white dresses and lightweight trousers (as you'll see below).
I've rounded up my favourite summer chocolate pedicure looks, so keep on scrolling for all the inspo.
