Butter Yellow Is The Colour Of Summer! 7 Ways You Can Nail This Fashion Trend
Vest And Skirt Moment
Waistcoats and summer vests are undeniably the new summer casual, highly revered for their versatility. A butter yellow vest paired with a vintage, grungy skirt is a popular look among Gen Z. It perfectly complements the ruggedness of the skirt while adding a soft touch of 'summer' to the overall vibe. Style it with much-loved bows, oversized glasses, or a burgundy bag to make the look more fashion-forward. In general, pairing butter yellow with darker hues always works well because of the high contrast.

Co-Ords All The Way
Co-ord sets are an easy summer favourite—effortless, easy, and chic. So, the only right thing to do is to incorporate the butter yellow colour through these pieces and look fabulous while navigating the boisterous heat. This look is super versatile, and the best part is that you can style the pieces individually as well. We recommend completing the look with a great structured tote and some cool glasses (oversized ones, to be a little more in with the trends).
Summer Dress
It's impossible to talk about a yellow dress without drawing inspiration from Kate Hudson's iconic dress in the beloved rom-com movie 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'. A butter-yellow dress is perfect for channelling the trend in this heat as it's quite breezy and requires almost no effort to pull off. This season, we've spotted celebrities like Deepika Padukone rocking a stunning butter-yellow dress from the label Gauri & Nainika, among other big names and influencers. You can choose to opt for an easy cotton dress to stay cool in or more dressy options for events and outings.
A Casual Knitted Summer Top
For folks who would like to incorporate the trend in their everyday looks, we recommend adding butter yellow to your casual summer tops. This look would especially work greatly for fashion minimalists, who like to keep their staples close and limited. Pair it with dark-coloured pants or the much-loved Korean pants for an easy, flowy, and breezy look. Plus, you can make this look more formal with the right accessories.
Use The Magic Of Skirts
While a butter-yellow skirt sounds like a difficult piece to create outfits around, it's actually quite the opposite. The light pastel colour can be paired with most staples, like a simple white shirt or a black tank top. The best way to go about this would be to sandwich your outfit (make sure your top and footwear are the same colour) to make your look more cohesive and put together.
Butter Yellow Linen Pants
Linen pants are another summer staple that looks super chic, cool, and uncomplicated. And if they are part of your everyday uniform (they must be, thanks to the heat), then there is nothing better than investing in a set of butter-yellow linen pants for the summer. You can pair them with a number of different things, including the much-loved Cophenhegaen tops—the perfect outfit for brunches and coffee dates.
Cheat Code: Use Accessories
Accessories truly hold the power to elevate any given fit. Adding a pop of this cool-toned yellow instantly brightens up your look. Think of glasses, shoulder bags, watches, hats, and maybe some rings and necklaces to add subtle hints of yellow to your fits. This is probably the easiest way to be on trend, without spending a lot of money or being super obvious about it.
