Butter yellow has been the popular colour of the season, and it’s expected to stick around for some time.
The soft pastel tone has been seen on various spring runways, including Bottega Veneta, Givenchy, Jacquemus and many more. Even influencers have been donning their finest butter yellow garments, whether it is a preppy button-up cardigan, suit, or T-shirt.
The butter yellow trend is not to be confused with cream tones or vibrant sunshine yellow, it’s a muted, low-saturated yellow tone and a welcome alternative to neutral tones we have lived in for many years.
What we love about the butter yellow colour is it instantly brightens any wardrobe. Swap out your classic white boxy T-shirt for a soft yellow tone tee, instead of cream jeans opt for the softer tone, even slip into a satin yellow slip dress for your next summer party or wedding.
There are plenty of ways to style the trend, and there is a plethora of butter yellow garments out there to shop. Whether you wear head to toe butter yellow, or inject it subtle into your outfit, is up to you.
Need some inspiration on what to buy? We have you covered! Read on for our favourite soft yellow tone staples.
