As winter marches on, it’s clear that it’s going to be awhile before we can think of incorporating many of the S/S 26 trends into our wardrobes, groundhog shadow or not. But what you can start wearing is the S/S 26 color trends, and Kendall Jenner is leading by example. For an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night in NYC, Jenner wore head-to-toe brand-new Chanel, including the brand’s newest It bag and a dress from the Pre-Fall 2026 collection that’s living rent-free in every fashion person’s mind: the knee-length sequin-embellished tiger-print dress. And yes, by tiger I mean orange.
Bright, juicy orange has made dozens of appearances on the S/S 26, Resort 2026, and Haute Couture Spring 2026 runways thus far, solidifying that bold color is back this year. There’s no more eye-catching, joyful way to embrace it than with something orange—whether you’re wearing it head-to-toe or as an accent. Jenner’s Chanel dress may not be available to the public just yet, but my searches prove that brands are already starting to churn out the orange pieces, via dresses, bags, sweaters, trousers, and more. (Jenner is the first major It girl to be spotted in the orange trend on the streets in 2026, but I’d be remiss to not point out that Laufey was a vision in an orange Balenciaga gown on the Golden Globes red carpet earlier this month.)
Keep scrolling to see the color in action and dutifully follow Jenner’s lead and secure your first orange purchase of 2026.
