Italian Summer 2026 Beauty Trends Spotlight Hair Color and Body Oil

The 2026 summer season in Italy is being defined by a resurgence of 1990s‑style brown hair. Stylists describe the shade as a three‑dimensional, chocolate‑rich tone that varies with lighting, with popular variations such as chocolate ganache, mocha melt and milk‑chocolate brunette. The effect is enhanced by a glossy finish that adds depth and a film‑like sheen.

At the same time, illuminating body oils are promoted as the simplest way to boost and prolong a tan. Formulated with vegetable oils and light‑reflecting complexes, these products hydrate the skin, protect against dryness and can be applied to the face and hair. Brands such as KIKO Milano’s After Sun Shimmering Oil are highlighted, with advice to apply evenly and allow a few minutes to set before dressing.
