There is a reason why Coldplay dedicated an entire song to this colour - yellow. Isn't it the prettiest hue that can brighten up your mood? Summer is the time to flaunt yellow in all possible ways because it will not only keep you cool but will also cheer you up.

This season, keep an eye for butter yellow, the delicate pastel nestled between canary and beige, which is all set to take centerstage as the defining colour of the year. The most recent example is Aubrey Plaza’s viral butter yellow dress by Loewe at the Emmy’s. Its subtle yet warm and silky hue has been steadily gaining popularity over the past few years, making appearances on runways and being embraced by style influencers.

Now, it appears that the time has come for butter yellow to shine even brighter and capture the spotlight as it heads towards a supernova moment. Along with this, gentle and sophisticated shades of canary yellow and pale yellow are also likely to make a comeback for holiday wardrobe, bringing a touch of understated elegance and oomph.

Be it a flirty yellow dress or a solid yellow top with your favourite pair of denim, this colour is the designated shade for Spring/Summer across the globe. The mellow shades of yellow go beautifully with all kinds of skin tone and look very soothing in hot temperature.

As yellow accessories and makeup trends are currently trending on top, here are five styling tips to wear the soothing hue.

Pair it with denim: Combine a nice yellow top with blue denim or shorts for a fabulous and casual look. Adding interesting details like bows or matching buttons can enhance the appeal. For a more polished look, pair the top with palazzo pants or flowy trousers suitable for outdoor events.

Layer it well: Yellow outfits can be layered with white or pastel shades like beige, mauve, or off-white. To break the monotony when wearing the same shade of yellow from top to bottom, balance it with a contrasting accessory.

A classic touch: Opt for a beautiful solid yellow dress for a classic and charming summer outfit. Pair it with wedges and sunglasses for a perfect summer fashionista look.

Accessorise it: If you prefer not to wear yellow from head to toe, use accessories to add pops of the vibrant color. Given its brightness, yellow can be paired with basic colors or used as a statement shade within the overall ensemble.

Wear it as makeup: Yellow eye shadow and lip colour are on-trend for the season. For those who are daring, a touch of gold can be added for evening events. Use yellow in moderation to create a dramatic high-fashion look.
