12 ways to add the butter yellow trend to your wardrobe
Come spring, pastel hues usually dominate, but this year, instead of your usual soft sorbet pink or eggshell blue, a new trend – coined butter yellow – has taken over. More muted and mellow than classic sunflower yellow, it’s set to make a mark this summer, and, quite frankly, we’re loving it.
The warm pastel shade has already trickled down from the runways to red carpets and even the royals’ wardrobes, and has now infiltrated the high streets. It’s without a doubt the colour to wear this summer, and we’re here to be your ultimate guide on how to style it.
To help you embrace this sunny hue, we’ve made it our mission to bring you the very best butter yellow styles available to shop right now.
