All buttered up: 8 ways we’re wearing spring’s trendiest hue

Now that Spring is starting to settle in, why not embrace the season's yellow hue to accentuate the mood? This buttery shade of yellow has been doing the rounds over the last year, slipping its way into covetable collections and earning its place as a fashion trend to watch. Luxury fashion House Bottega Veneta lists itself as one of the shades biggest fans, with several industry trailblazers crediting the brand for making yellow 'cool again'.

We can't say we disagree. A colour that both inherently boosts our mood and has received the sartorial seal of approval is guaranteed to catch our eye. Though we won't lie, initially yellow may seem like a daunting colour to tackle – especially for those among us who normally steer away from bold colour-ways. Surprisingly, however, yellow is not as challenging to merge into your wardrobe as you might think.

Here, we're sharing our edit of the hottest pieces in rotation to adopt butter yellow into your wardrobe this season.

 

BOTTEGA VENETA Cabat

 

As with most bold shades, if you're not quite ready to embrace a full monochrome look, it's best to pair your yellow pieces with a base shade or material that you're comfortable wearing. Opting for darker wash of gray is not only weather-appropriate but will also accentuate the buttery hue of your yellow pieces; rather than washing the shade out as a light-wash base tone would. Accessorise with gold or silver jewellery and a touch of olive for a pared back look.

 

ANNA QUAN Sofia Dress in Butter

An easy way to incorporate this buttery shade into your wardrobe is through dresses, which need no coordinating top or bottom to match. This Anna Quan mini dress is cut in a seasonless lightweight wool blend made for endless wardrobe rotation, and is perfectly paired with ballet flats, sneakers or tall boots in the evening.

 

JACQUEMUS Yellow 'Les Lunettes Azzuro' Sunglasses

A deeply playful take on the yellow fashion trend is to accessories with pops of smaller pieces. These Jacquemus shades are the perfect pop of colour for the face.

 

VENROY Silk Cotton Maxi Dress

Venroy has engineered the perfect empire-waist number that manages to be both whimsical and elegant. The balloon shape and mid-length are the perfect subtle accompaniments to the star of the show.

 

UNIQLO Women's Crew Neck Cardigan

Who can resist this sweet hue on a knit? This pastel sweater in ribbed knit is a textural delight with a little bit of flair. Pair it with cream pants or go risque with a leopard print bottom, which we can also advise on.

 

NEW BALANCE 1906U

The New Balance 1906U silhouette emerged mid-year in a refreshing and spring-ready “Butter Yellow” colourway, with tonal synthetic overlays.

 

SANDY LIANG Yellow Secure Bag

Another adorable polished bag in buttery soft and buttery yellow leather is this one from Sandy Liang – featuring twin rolled carry handles, zip closure and a very coquette bow accent.

 

CAMILLA AND MARC Alden Blazer in Peach Sorbet

Sharp, tailored, but with the same meringue-yellow that pairs well with just about anything. This Camilla & Marc blazer is a perfect addition to your day-to-day wear for an elevated core basic. Slip it on and thank us later.
