HOW I WEAR YELLOW

HOW I WEAR YELLOW

Buttery yellow is having a serious moment right now, and while it’s beautiful on the rack, let’s be honest…. it’s not the easiest color to wear. I actually think it’s one of the trickiest colors for anyone to pull off! There just aren’t that many people who look good in this soft, pale yellow shade. And as much as I adore yellow, the buttery tones just don’t work for me.

But here’s the good news….. yellow can still be fabulous! You just have to find your shade. For me, that means BOLD AND VIBRANT, all the way. The more saturated, the better! Think golden mustard, sunflower, or electric lemon. The electric lemon is my favorite (pictured above). These more vibrant shades brighten my complexion and give me that confident and eye-catching pop I’m always looking for.

I’ve styled several yellow looks to give you some options, no matter your comfort level. My point is…. not really the yellow, but learning how to make a color work for you. There’s lots of shades within one color, and if you want to make it work for you, YOU CAN!

The first one is all-out and BRIGHT (my personal fave), another is with the ever-trending buttery shade (because I had to try), and the last one shows how you can ease into yellow by simply using it in your accessories. Think about a purse, your shoes, or in your jewelry.

ALL OUT VIBRANT YELLOW

My look below, was from several years ago. The dress is still in my closet…. because it’s my shade, and it’s a classic! I’ve linked two different bright, bold, and vibrant outfits below, and LOVE both!

TRENDING BUTTERY YELLOW

For these two looks I added just a touch of vibrant color, into the mix. This is exactly what I do, even if it’s just my lipstick. A great way to add some fun to the overall outfit. On the second look I added a neutral pullover sweater to throw over your shoulders, for cooler summer evenings.

ACCESSORIZE WITH YELLOW

If you’re feeling unsure about wearing yellow….. start small. Accessories are the perfect way to play without committing to a full head-to-toe look. Then when you’re ready, go for that bold yellow dress or top that makes you feel confident!

So, how do you feel about yellow? Is this a color that you would wear? Certainly not for everyone, but IF you want to make it work for you…… follow my tips, find your shade, and follow your instincts! It’s not about following trends EXACTLY, instead it’s making them your own in a way that flatters and excites you!
