5 Spring Colours Nana Can’t Wait To Wear

Finally! My time has come. While I wear colour all year round, spring/summer is by far my favourite time for newness. There’s something about the days getting lighter and longer that makes everything feel a little more optimistic and that same energy naturally spills over into how I want to dress. A wardrobe refresh doesn’t just feel justified at this time of year – it feels essential.

There’s also a sense of renewed creativity that comes with the shift in seasons. Thankfully, heavier layers are peeled away, silhouettes feel lighter and suddenly there’s more room to play with tone, texture and contrast. I find myself gravitating towards pieces that feel uplifting and expressive, whether that’s a perfectly cut dress in a standout shade or a flash of colour woven into everyday basics.

I was overjoyed by just how much colour dominated the SS26 runways, with designers fully embracing bold palettes and confident combinations. Among the spectrum of shades on show, some clear standouts emerged. These are the hues I know I’ll be reaching for on repeat, seamlessly working them into my existing wardrobe and letting them take centre stage throughout the season.

What I like about sky blue is how it softens everything. It brings a calm, effortless energy to sharper silhouettes and adds a sense of ease to more elevated pieces. It’s not a colour that shouts but it quietly pulls a look together in a way that feels fresh, modern and completely in tune with the season.

Butter yellow is still trending and I’m more than ready to lean into it again this year. Soft, creamy and surprisingly versatile, it strikes the perfect balance between a neutral and a statement colour. I love how it brings warmth to an outfit without feeling overpowering – it’s an easy entry point if you’re looking to experiment with colour in a more understated way.
