There’s butter blonde, sandy blonde, ice blonde, and ashy blonde. But nothing quite hits the spot for summer like a crisp, bubbly-glass-of-Dom-Perignon blonde. “This shade lives in that space between warm and cool—imagine a glass of chilled champagne catching the light,” says Los Angeles-based hairstylist Clariss Anya Rubenstein. “It’s a creamy blonde with hints of gold and beige woven through. Never icy, never brassy.” Take Kate Hudson or Sarah Pidgeon’s blonde in FX’s Love Story, for example.

“Ask for a soft champagne blonde that’s blended, dimensional, and glossy—but nothing stripy or overly bright,” adds Christine Bellmare, a Boston-based hairstylist. The gloss will be key for catching the light and giving it that glimmery effervescence you catch in your champagne flute.

Not everyone loves the beach. Summer, for some, is the perfect excuse to sip icy dirty martinis on a city rooftop. For the more urban set, a lived-in suede brunette pairs nicely with a warm, breezy New York night and extra olives. “There’s a clear shift toward tones that feel effortless and understated rather than bold or high-maintenance,” says Bellemare. “For brunettes, that translates to softer, more muted shades that still feel rich and polished.”
