Minimalism has been a dominant force in the era of quiet luxury and the style that followed after the aesthetic peaked in 2023. Fashion shifted into pared-back pieces. Color faded away, replaced by neutral shades such as black, white, camel, cream, and charcoal. While these foundational neutrals will always be the backbone of a wardrobe, the complete takeover of neutrals is set to change in 2026, and color could not be more back.

Specifically, we saw a clashing color trend emerge as designers paired unlikely shades together. On one level, the color pairings don’t make sense together and intentionally clash, but they also work together in unexpected and fresh ways that will have the fashion set rethinking how to incorporate color into their looks this year. Ahead, more on the clashing color trend that is set to take over.
