Knowing the season’s top color trends is the simplest way to look put-together. Plus, it’s a subtle signal that you’re in the know without any statement pieces or unnecessary zeros on a price tag. Spring is all about color, especially specific color combinations, and with the new season right around the corner, there’s a new class of shades to know and covet. The runways have spoken, and retailers like Zara are now showing which colors they think should and will represent spring.
Spring may be over a month away, but Zara’s early spring collection just dropped, and unsurprisingly, it’s filled with color and fresh shades. Instead of emerald green, butter yellow, and tangerine—the colors we saw in spring 2025—Zara has crowned sage green, true red, and ballet-slipper pink among the top color trends. Chocolate brown will continue to dominate, which is ideal for dressers who are hesitant to wear anything other than black. It also makes it easy to transition your espresso pieces from winter to spring without needing to buy anything new in that color range. But that’s not all. Keep scrolling to discover the rest of Zara’s hottest spring color trends and shop the chicest pieces that will help you look like a fashion insider.
5 Expensive-Looking Zara Color Trends for Spring 2026
1. True Red
Zara definitely paid close attention to the spring runways, where true red was everywhere, and now, we’re seeing it in its latest offerings. Rather than deep reddish brown or purplish red, the shade appeared in its truest, purest form: bold and powerful. We saw it at Versace on a T-shirt paired with a purple blazer and blue trousers, at Loewe on a turtleneck shirt styled with a black windbreaker and yellow ruffled shorts, and at Prada on a collared shirt paired with a black bralette and purple bloomers. There are no limits to styling the shade.

2. Shades of Blue
Navy blue remains a fashion classic, but this spring, cerulean, cobalt, and sky blue will be in the spotlight. Instead of a full monochrome ensemble, incorporate these shades into your everyday essentials—like blouses, sweaters, and bags—and combine them with other primary colors for a very 2026 and editorial look.

3. Espresso Brown
Hold on to your chocolate brown, espresso, coffee, mocha, or whichever name you prefer for this color because it’s here to stay. I’m not complaining, as it’s an easy shade to wear during the transition from winter to spring. If you already own it, save your money and wear what you have. However, if you haven’t invested in this color yet, Zara’s latest collection offers many options. Notable pieces include a stunning suede cape skirt, a billowy trench coat, and belted pleated pants.

4. Sage Green
Spring 2026 collections from designers such as Kallmeyer and Bottega Veneta showcased sage green as the must-know and must-wear color. It’s earthy and soothing without feeling too grounded, offering a balanced, calming hue. This subtle nature makes it versatile and perfect for pairing with timeless neutrals such as navy and brown as well as seasonal tones such as burgundy, butter yellow, and tangerine.

5. Ballet-Slipper Pink
Ballet-slipper pink is powder pink’s romantic and mature cousin. Compared to the pale shade, ballet slipper has a warm undertone that gives it a more pigmented appearance. You can’t miss the color while scrolling through Zara’s site or stepping into one of its stores. It’s predominantly being styled with burgundy, which has become a very fail-proof color pairing, but it also looks elegant with yellow, orange, khaki, and dark brown.
