Covering versatile pieces, standalone outfits, shoes and accessories, this is your guide to incorporate butter yellows into your look. Don’t spend hours browsing hundreds of websites, we’ve got you sortd.
Cozy Knits
A buttery yellow knit is the perfect way to bring a pop of colour into your wardrobe for the cooler months. Gone are the times where every winter day is accompanied by another black outfit, this year we’re all about incorporating colour into every season. We’ve picked our favourite 2 yellow knits from Aussie brands Camilla & Marc and VRG GRL to add to your wardrobe.
Dress up the Camilla & Marc Thalassa knit with a pair of white pants and brown boots for an elevated and stylish workwear look. On a warmer day, pair it with a blue denim mini skirt or a white linen maxi skirt for an effortlessly cute look.
Pair the Lola Knit Cardigan with a pair of blue jeans and a white top for a casual winter look, or with a colourful summer dress for spring days.
2. Summer Tops
Adding butter yellow tops to your wardrobe is the most versatile way to wear this trend. Whether you gravitate towards neutral tones in your wardrobe, or love a strong burst of colour in your outfits, butter yellow tops tie perfectly with every style.
Our favourite pieces right now are the Marissa Linen One Shoulder Top from Peppermayo, or the Tayla Trim Top from KOOKAI. These draw inspiration from luxury brands such as Shona Joy and Christopher Esber, but fall in the more affordable price range.
Style your new butter yellow top with a green or blue maxi skirt for a big burst of colour in your look. If you’re more into the neutral and lowkey vibes, style with a pair of white pants, blue jeans, or a yellow mini skirt.
3. Formal Dresses
A butter yellow formal dress is one of the most loved looks of the year! Perfect for any wedding in the warmer months, long lunches on a rooftop in summer, birthdays or a dress for your bridesmaids. Butter yellow dresses perfectly combine warmth, summer and playfulness with formal, class and elegance.
Our favourite butter yellow picks right now are the Into Pieces Mesh Maxi Dress from Peppermayo, and the Lana Maxi Dress from Significant Other. Style with a pair of brown slingback heels and a brown bag for a tonal look, or with silver and sparkles for a more formal look.
4. Shoes and Accessories
No outfit is complete without the perfect shoe and handbag, and butter yellow accessories are ones that will never go out of style.
Check out our favourite butter yellow shoe, the Bow Slingback Pumps from Charles & Keith and our favourite bag, the Bou Bag Mini from Incu below. These accessories can add the finishing touch to any outfit. Style both together for a burst of butter yellow in your look, or separately for a more subtle vibe. These go perfectly with anything from flared blue jeans, to silk maxi dresses and are a simple way to add colour to any outfit.
