Hazelnut: Spring 2026 has a new must-try color

Street style is spotlighting a fresh neutral shade.

What makes the hazelnut shade so interesting is its balance: on the one hand, it has the warmth of brown, but without the wintery feel; on the other, it has the neutrality of beige, but with a bit more attitude. Essentially, it’s the “middle ground” choice for all of us who want to add colour to our outfits without straying too far from the safety of neutral tones.

In fact, if you’re someone who often reaches for black, warm hazelnut will completely transform your styling, no matter the season. Right now, after all, it’s the star of street style. We’re seeing it in relaxed blazers, oversized “dad” jackets, trench coats with more textured fabrics, bags, and even in monochromatic outfits that explore the different shades of brown.

What’s particularly interesting is the way hazelnut is incorporated into outfits—it serves as a complement, highlighting the overall look and creating a sense of coolness without being over the top.
