Between the beach and lunch or dinner: how to incorporate turquoise into your summer wardrobe?
After a year dominated by lemon yellow and vibrant orange, this summer brings a cool and refreshing wave: turquoise. Reminiscent of clear Mediterranean waters and tropical beaches, this color has conquered the runways of major fashion houses. Jacquemus presented it in a bold, calculated version, while Christopher Esber showcased a transparent, asymmetrical style suitable for evening wear.
This trend has already moved from the runways to high-street fashion collections. Hailey Bieber, one of the most influential figures in street style, set the pace a year ago when she was spotted in a vintage turquoise Gucci dress—the exact moment the trend began to gain momentum.
What makes turquoise so versatile is its range: there is the light, delicate version reminiscent of the famous Tiffany boxes, and a deeper, darker shade closer to green. Both work excellently, with the difference being a matter of character: the light shade is airy and fresh, while the dark one is more refined and sophisticated.
How to incorporate it into your summer wardrobe?
A dress is the safest way to embrace the trend. A mini dress with cutouts in this shade is perfect for the beach or dinner, requiring little to no extra styling. For a more casual look, pair a turquoise top with wide-leg trousers in neutral shades like white, beige, or gray—a combination that looks polished and intentional. A crochet skirt in this shade, paired with a matching top, creates a festive yet effortless look, ideal for a summer evening.
If you are not ready to commit to a full garment in such a bold color, start small. Shoes or jewelry in turquoise are enough to make a statement. Sandals or flip-flops in this color instantly refresh a basic wardrobe of white, beige, or denim. Bracelets or earrings paired with gold also work beautifully, as the gold adds warmth that balances the coolness of the color. And, of course, swimwear—a one-piece or bikini in turquoise, worn with a wide linen shirt, is perfect for those moments between the beach and lunch.
The rule to remember: the more prominent and colorful the main item is, the better it is to keep the rest of the outfit clean and simple. This way, the turquoise remains the star of the look rather than getting lost among too many other colors.
