If you’ve been locked in on the butter-yellow trend, you know it has been steadily gaining steam and now reaching full‑on mania. Sitting between beige and lemon, this shade is mellow enough for the color‑shy but bold enough to stand alone. This season, designers from Alaïa to Erdem have drenched everything in the soft, happy hue: Simkhai and Emilia Wickstead featured minis and midis alike; Chloé and Bally bathed jackets in the sunshiney shade; and Chanel and Ralph Lauren’s bags are basically pats of creamy goodness. The best part of butter yellow? It never feels one‑note, and there’s a way to work it into your wardrobe, no matter your vibe.
Want to keep things muted and grounded? Team butter yellow with another trending tone, chocolate brown — think tailored trousers or a pencil skirt for work. Here for festival style? Layer a buttery piece over breezy white separates, or slip into a flowing dress. For off‑duty cool, pair your favorite jeans with a yellow top or flats. Feeling extra? Mix your boldest butter-yellow piece with ballet pink or mint green for a full pastel party.
From frilled minis and sleek work‑to‑dinner midis to crisp cotton‑poplin co‑ords and lightweight cardigans, there’s a butter‑yellow moment for every mood. Not ready to go head‑to‑toe? Dip a toe in with a bag, shoe, or accessory that melts seamlessly into your everyday favorites.
A Butter Yellow Dress
A butter‑yellow dress — whether softly draped or crisp and voluminous — brightens any mood. Pair your favorite with everything from chunky sandals to kitten heels for springtime polish.
A Butter Yellow Jacket
In place of your beige, ivory, or gray top layers, opt for a buttery yellow jacket instead. Style over a white tee with jeans on the weekend or pair with tailored trousers for work — whatever your flavor, it’s one of those “the coat is the look” moments, but for spring.
Butter Yellow Cotton Poplin
Butter‑yellow cotton‑poplin separates feel crisp, cool, and utterly refreshing — a coordinated look you’ll reach for all season, yet easy to break up for endless outfit options. Wear an oversized shirt open over a cami and high‑waist shorts for weekend ease, or go for a set like Free People’s matching strapless‑top‑and‑pants option for dinner or a spring party.
A Butter Yellow Sweater
Spring calls for lighter knits, so why not make a brighter version your go‑to? Our faves range from a butter‑yellow cardigan to a crewneck pullover — airy enough to layer yet cozy enough for chillier days, even when styled as a top. If you just want the cozy pop, drape your favorite over your shoulders atop a slip dress or tee for a street-style-inspired look.
A Butter Yellow Skirt
Floaty and fresh, butter‑yellow skirts are here to brighten your favorite basics for low‑key, sweet style. Whether you choose a ruffled mini, bow‑adorned midi, or sleek satin maxi, we love them paired with simple pieces like a tee, tonal sweater, or easy tank.
A Butter Yellow Top
You don’t have to color‑drench to give butter yellow a try. Tops are like a fresh squeeze of sunshine — perfectly balanced by classic bottoms from tailored trousers to baggy jeans or slim skirts.
A Butter Yellow Bag
Butter‑yellow bags are bold enough to steal the show yet subtle enough to ease you into the trend. Shoulder bags and smaller top handles are the most versatile shapes to carry any day of the week.
Butter Yellow Shoes
Butter‑yellow shoes are the spring pick‑me‑up your feet have been craving, from flats to block and kitten‑heel silhouettes. Wear them with denim for casual cool, or team them with occasion wear, like a wedding guest dress, for a sweet burst of sunshine.
