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.
