Not sure if yellow is the first color that comes to mind when you think of a color that's easy to wear and combine. However, butter yellow is shaping up to be one of the main color trends of the season and you will have no trouble styling it. Its moderate saturation allows it to act as a neutral shade that pairs easily with the rest of your wardrobe. It's subtle, but adds just the right amount of interest and freshness to an outfit. In fact, this is exactly what you're going to want to wear this spring.
The Return of Butter Yellow
Many designers return to the pale color season after season and this isn't the first time it has appeared on the front row. On the Jacquemus spring show, it was the focal point of the structured jackets and coats worn by Gigi Hadid for example. At Bottega Veneta, pale yellow dresses contrasted with brighter hues like red and orange. Jonathan Anderson has used this color often, but this time he used it in a satin dress and floaty knits.
How to wear Butter Yellow?
Yellow is a mood enhancer. It reminds us of sunshine and positivity, which is a given when it comes to dressing for spring. For those who tend to favor neutral hues, light lemon colors are a refreshing choice that is still pleasing to the eye. Light yellow tones also look a lot like cream, making styling options easier. For example, you can pair a lemon tank top with denim shorts and flats, or a sheer top with a bralette and mini skirt. Opting for yellow allows you to try something new in your style, even if it's just in small touches.
The easiest way to incorporate yellow into your wardrobe is with tops you would normally wear (but in a yellow shade) and accessories. This spring, we're especially excited to pair a buttery yellow linen dress with heels or sandals.

In other words, yellow is an easy way to incorporate color while still fitting into a capsule-style wardrobe.
