No thoughts just: 2026’s color trends are officially out, and here’s why you’re better off skipping them. Last week, I asked my Who What Wear UK squad what hues they’re investing in for the year, and the verdict? Some shades are so 2025. While the runways are all about bold, maximalist pops, the muted “quiet-luxury” palette that ruled 2025 is getting the boot. If you’re still rocking that icy blue or BRAT green, you’re basically living in a time capsule. Let’s talk about the five dated trends we’re passing on and the five that’ll make your outfits scream “I’m here, I’m loud, and I’m finally getting it right.”
First up: charcoal grey. Sure, it’s timeless, but honestly, it’s starting to feel like a beige for the cool kids. Editors are ditching the “lighter alt to black” vibe for rich teals that pair with neutrals like a boss. Think of it as the new neutral—flattering, sophisticated, and way more fun than a grey blazer. Then there’s icy blue, which is basically the new white. But let’s be real, if you’re still relying on cream and ecru for your outfits, you’re missing out on a color that’s literally brighter than your mood.
Next, BRAT green is getting a little too… basic. While it’s still cute, editors are trading it in for chartreuse, which is like the sassier
