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:

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.

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.

This elegant dress also comes in two other designs.
This fresh shade is surprisingly easy to work into a capsule wardrobe.
