The Freshest Trend Right Now? “Toothpaste Dressing”

Fashion is officially cooling down and in the chicest way. Coined by Vogue, “toothpaste dressing” is the playful yet polished mix of mint green and icy blue that feels crisp, glossy, and undeniably modern. As fashion expert Dawn Del Russo notes, this marks a shift away from the neutral “clean girl” aesthetic toward something more expressive.

Designers like Chanel, Fendi, and Givenchy are embracing mint as the new pastel, fresh, slightly futuristic, and unexpectedly versatile. The appeal? It’s feminine without being overly sweet, playful yet still refined. Seen on Dua Lipa and described as “super chic toothpaste” by Sarah Pidgeon, the look feels optimistic, exactly where fashion is headed.

The styling is everything: think fluid fabrics, tonal layering, and sharp contrasts with deeper hues. Because this isn’t just a color trend, it’s a mood. Fresh, elevated, and just a little unexpected.
