Sunshine yellows and nautical blues are usually par for the course when it comes to summer colors, but there’s an unexpected hue taking over this season. It’s not a true brown, orange, or red. Instead, it falls in between all three shades on the color spectrum. Perhaps we could call it Grand Canyon Sunset. Close your eyes and imagine you’re at the national park just before dusk. The hero color could certainly be seen on the peaks and valleys of the natural wonder.
Nature has always been a major source of inspiration for fashion, and several designers have incorporated the very specific shade in their collectsions, from Khaite’s off-the-shoulder top to Proenza Schouler’s easy-to-throw-on dress. And it’s not only on the runways: Several retailers have also stocked up on the beautiful hue. Of course, we gathered the best options around. From swimsuits to dresses to skirts, here are the best Grand Canyon Sunset (that’s what we’re calling it, right?) pieces to shop right now.
