Dakota Johnson Just Wore 3 Noteworthy Color Trends That Will Be Huge for Summer

In my opinion, there's no better time to experiment with color than the summer season. With vibrant flowers lining every street and the energizing bright-blue sky above, a joyful summer scene makes styling a more playful palette all the easier.
With the newfound sunshine, I've spotted Dakota Johnson incorporating several fresh color trends into her simple summer rotation this week. From relaxed ensembles featuring a few jolts of color to color-drenched 'fits, the actor's recent outfits have inspired me to shake up my summer styling with the addition of some new hues.
To imbue your wardrobe with the same summer spirit, read on to discover the three fresh color trends that Johnson is using to liven up her looks.
THE 3 SUMMER COLOR TRENDS DAKOTA JOHNSON KEEPS COMING BACK TO
1. YELLOW
Style Notes: From soft, buttery shades to orange-tinted sunshine tones, the yellow color trend is taking off this summer, and Johnson is on board. Styling a calf-grazing yellow dress from L.A. brand Dôen, the actor grounded her look with retro trainers and chic sunglasses, creating a comfortable summer outfit that felt fresh and spirited.
SHOP YELLOW CLOTHING:
This pretty yellow dress (Johnson's exact one) will style well with Mary Janes or heeled sandals.
These comfy trousers will become one of your most reached-for pairs.
2. RED
Style Notes: Pepping up her white-tee outfit with a cozy red knit thrown over her shoulders and burgundy trousers, Johnson added a vivid splash of color to her look in the most low-key way. A wearable shade that never goes out of style, red will instantly lift an all-white look and is even chicer when styled with other vivid shades.
SHOP RED CLOTHING:
This chic two-piece set will make getting dressed during summer so easy.
Style with the matching jacket or wear with a white tee.
Shop the matching Cropped Blazer in Red ($70).
3. SAGE GREEN
Style Notes: As a devoted Dakota Johnson fan, I know full well that sage green is one of her all-time favorite shades. Often styling it with the white and blue jeans that saturate her wardrobe, she comes back to this color time and again. Wearing it this week with some light cream layers, the actor incorporated the tone in a subtle yet impactful way.
SHOP SAGE-GREEN CLOTHING:
Style with white jeans or wear with a chocolate-brown pair.
This fresh shade is surprisingly easy to work into a capsule wardrobe.
