These Are the 5 Shades of Blonde You Should Consider for Summer

Over any other season, summer is the time to be blonde. But everyone knows there are nearly one million shades of blonde, from strawberry to platinum. So, which one is the best for this warm, beautiful weather?

Below, discover five shades you should consider for summer 2025.

Teddy Bear Blonde

Teddy bear blonde is, by far, the trendiest color of the season. When you hear this phrase, think Tate McRae—warm, bronze hues accented by softer, lighter tones. This is a great option for anyone who doesn't want to fully commit to a bright blonde. If you have a warm or tan undertone, it will bring out your best features.

Caramel Blonde

So, maybe you don't want to go blonde at all, but you'd still like to go lighter for the summer. If this describes you, opt for a caramel blonde. It is one of the darkest hues you can achieve. It is also suitable for anyone whose hair cannot deal with too much bleach. And it looks amazing on dark and deep complexions.

Blonde Balayage

Notoriously, balayage is one of the most damaging and challenging to master shades. But when it is done correctly, it offers extremely eye-catching results. Blonde balayage gives dimensional highlights with its hand-painted technique. As a result, it looks more natural than your average highlight job. That said, you will look like a sun-kissed mermaid or surfer girl who totally woke up like this.

Sandy Blonde

With an olive skin tone, you are at an in-between place that might feel like no shade of blonde looks good. For this undertone, we recommend a sandy, ashy blonde. It has a greenish hue, which can complement your skin's shade. We have also noticed sandy blonde looks fabulous on paler complexions!

 

Platinum Blonde

Are you a tried and true blonde? Summer is the best season to turn up the notch and reach your highest potential by going platinum. This shade is the blondest of blondes for those who are truly committed. We particularly appreciate it during this quarter of the year because it works well with a tan.
