How To Style The Butter Yellow Trend
Indulge in lovely pastels this Spring, with the finest of them all being buttery yellow. Here's your guide on how to wear it (with lots of curated shopping links!)
"Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking," a phrase familiar to all of us fashion lovers. If you don't recognize it, it's Miranda Priestly's ironic commentary on her assistant, Andy Sachs, in The Devil Wears Prada. Just as predictable as our cravings for floral patterns, pastels make a big splash every spring season. This year, it's the beautiful buttery yellow shade that takes the lead.

We've seen buttery yellow everywhere - from the runways of top fashion houses for Spring, including labels like Bottega Veneta, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Proenza Schouler, and Tory Burch, to the wardrobes of our favorite celebrities and street style stars. Following the rise of the red trend as I wrote about some weeks ago, it's only natural that the next major color is something a bit sunnier and more relaxed. Now, we have a hue that appeals to everyone - vibrant enough for the maximalists yet subtle enough for those who prefer a more neutral palette (like myself, for instance;).

How to wear it
Mastering the styling with your butter yellow pieces might seem a bit daunting at first, but fear not! It may just be a matter of habit. To begin, try incorporating the color in situations where you would typically opt for khaki or creamy tones. The shade pairs beautifully with black leather pants, caramel, denim, and navy. Experiment with a light yellow blouse paired with wide-leg light denim jeans and loafers, or layer a beige blazer over a sunny top. Alternatively, ease into the trend by accessorizing with butter yellow pieces like a cute handbag or flats, adding a subtle touch of color to any outfit you already love.

If you're looking for a Spring wedding guest dress or an outfit for a special occasion, consider a playful butter-colored dress accessorized with golden jewelry, strappy sandals, and a coordinating handbag. The sunny color is also super romantic on all kinds of summer dresses.
Consider this as your sign to welcome some sunshine into your wardrobe just in time for warmer weather. I hope you feel inspired.
I wish you a wonderful day, see you next week!
Love,
