When you think of a wearable color, yellow certainly isn't what comes to mind. Butter yellow, however, is shaping up to be a top color trend, and it's one you'll find ease in styling. Its leveled saturation allows it to act as a neutral shade that pairs easily with the rest of your wardrobe. It's subtle but offers just the right amount of interest in an outfit. This is exactly what you want to be wearing this summer.
Many designers return to the pale color season after season, and it's had an uptick in the past, but you're about to see the shade everywhere. On Lacoste's spring runway, it was the focal point of the structured jackets and coats, as modeled by Alex Consani. At Jacquemus, pale-yellow dresses were contrasted against dark hues like chocolate brown. Chloé used the color throughout its S/S 25 collection in lace-trim dresses and utilitarian-inspired outerwear.
