Citrus Shades to Add to Your Warmer Weather Wardrobe

Nothing says summer like citrus fruits. And it’s not only because they taste great. Their eye-catching colors also make them a fashion must for the warmer months ahead. From lime to lemon and even pink grapefruit, citrus shades are practically a requirement this time of year. Thankfully, the Spring 2020 collections had a lot of awesome inspo. From a borderline safety orange jumpsuit courtesy of Emilia Wickstead to a pleated pink grapefruit-colored dress at Christopher Kane, the shows were full of fresh shades. And online retailers have already embraced the trend. We found great options available at Zara, & Other Stories, Mango and more. When it comes to styling the citrus hues, it’s pretty much up to you. You can stick with one shade as the highlight of your outfit. Or go for a more fruit salad approach by mixing different hues into one ensemble. See the slideshow above for the best summer clothes in citrus shades to rock all season long.

Citrus Hues

Orange

Orange has been trending for a few seasons now. But for Spring 2020, the vibrant color really stood out on the catwalks. Try mixing it up with other arresting shades a la Emilia Wickstead.

Pink Grapefruit

The flesh of a pink grapefruit boasts a deeper, richer pink hue that boarders on coral. Which makes it a great shade for summer, especially on breezy dresses, like this one from Christopher Kane’s Spring 2020 show.

While neon green has been popping up everywhere, we’re partial to lime. Not as retina-burning as its vibrant cousin but darker than pistachio or pastel, lime, like this cool leather jacket seen at Rochas, is a solid shade for the warmer months ahead.

Blood orange offers a nice contrast to all the safety orange out there. Sometimes called red orange, bright orange or even tangerine, the moodier hue is a great way to make an impression even without going sheer like Gucci.
