The colour of a cloudless sky, turquoise is an instant mood-lifter. Let’s take a closer look at this blue, which you’ll also find in the American Vintage spring-summer 2026 collection.

#1: American Vintage turquoise blue
This season, AMV’s turquoise blue comes in a sporty shaved terry cloth cotton (BOBYPARK women’s sweatshirt), but also in denim: the PUSHWAY balloon jeans offer a contemporary silhouette that’s easy to wear every day — and if you’re feeling daring, you can go for a head-to-toe turquoise look.

#2: The Six Senses Kanuhura hotel
Nestled at the heart of the Maldives Islands, this tropical paradise is surrounded by turquoise blue water. Simply scroll through the Six Senses Kanuhura Instagram account and you’ll immediately want to go on holiday. If you’re fortunate enough to go to the beach there (lucky you!), don’t forget to pack sunblock and a cap.

#3: Jenny Walton’s first book
Artist and influencer Jenny Walton shares her love of vintage fashion in her Instagram account. A passion that you can now explore in Jenny Sais Quoi: Adventures in Vintage & Personal Style (Phaidon), a book that she entirely wrote and illustrated herself. It will make you want to rethink your wardrobe — good timing, because it’s time to switch out your clothes.

#4: David Hockney’s paintings
Known for his famous Bigger Splash, the English painter has immortalised turquoise swimming pools on more than one occasion. A colour that he knows well and seems to like, because we also find it in other series, notably those illustrating his garden in Santa Monica.
