Strap yourself in: This new It colour is not for the faint of heart. Just as it gets grey and gloomy outside, yellow hues are here to lift us all up. As a shade we're not terribly confident with, when we saw this trend on the A/W 18 runways, it instantly caught our eye. There were two different stand out shades that stood out—namely, mustards and sorbet brights—and they both define two different styles of dressing.
Roksanda's effortlessly sophisticated woman opted for can't-miss brights when it came to her canary-yellow boots and top-handle bags. Not for the shy, this shade represents a colour-happy individual; we're dying to clash it with other warm wintery brights. On the other end of the scale, Isabel Marant's thigh-high mustard cowboy boots dominated the designer's A/W 18 runway show, which was otherwise a fairly muted palette of grey, beige and burgundy.
If you're like me and often stick to a natural palette, it was the push we needed to want to reach for a yellow accessory and proof that it looks oh so 2018.
From By Far's mustard-croc shoulder-strap bag to Stella McCartney's Eclypse sneakers, it's clear that bags and shoes dominate for this trending colour. However, we've discovered that vibrant belts, sunglasses and even scarves exist, too, from Off-Whites logo mania scarf to Topshop's bungee cord belt. There's nothing happier than a yellow accessory. Fact. So here are our favourites…
1. Yellow Bags
Nineties shape + croc effect = everything.
Bag necklaces are about to be huge for 2019, so start to getting used to the idea.
This mustard satin looks super expensive.
From the city to the beach.
2. Yellow Shoes

Hold onto these for the summer months ahead.

For something more demure, this super pale shade may be for you. Although, there's no quiet entrance with the added frilled layer.
Zara knows how to do over-the-knee boots (and in our favourite shade of mustard).
3. Yellow Scarves
Once you feel the softness of this, you'll want it too.
Need we say how obsessed we are with this scarf? It's the perfect shade of yellow, plus it's so cool.
Make sure your everyday winter warmer is yellow too. At only £13, there's no reason not to try.
4. Yellow Belts
We've got a feeling this belt is about to be huge for styling.
Y-3 always knows how to do an edgy belt that is likely to sell out.
Now you see how a yellow belt really can finish off even an LBD party look.
5. Gloves, Scarves, Hats—You Name It
Yes, yellow-tinted shades are going to see us through these cold but sunny months.
Now that glove season is just around the corner, you can try this trend.
Whether you like bucket hats now or not, they're here to stay for summer next year too.
