Mellow Yellow
What makes a color trend? Surely media such as fashion magazines and platforms like Tik Tok and Instagram have a say and let’s not forget about fashion week putting us on to the hues to sport each season. But there’s a greater, more impactful element that seems to be behind this trending color for fall and that’s because of how it makes us feel. This fall an unsuspecting color is expected to be making big waves and we think it really speaks not only to understated chicness but also to our hopes and aspirations. That color is yellow and yes we have some things to say about it.
This season, soft buttery mellow yellow is the color to wear and for good reason. Usually when fall approaches, we see browns, blacks and burgundy dominate the streets and the runways making this palette an easy go-to for the latter part of the year. So, you can imagine our surprise and excitement when designers and celebrities alike gave us the “ok” to add some brightness to our autumn wardrobe. Despite yellow typically being a bright and tricky color to style we think subtly adding this hue to your wardrobe is the surefire way to successfully style this trending color.
Try layering a soft buttery yellow over a neutral toned outfit via a cashmere cardigan or as a blouse styled with a leather or suede jacket. You can also incorporate this shade in the form of fall fabrics like corduroy, tweed or some form of knitwear. Take it a step further and opt for a pale faded yellow eyeshadow or nail polish to tie your look together. We think that this subdued tone of yellow also works and pairs well with earthy tones which are also right on par for fall and of course don’t forget (or underestimate) the impact of accessorizing with yellow handbags, scarves, belts and even shoes. This trending color for fall is light and fun so keep that same energy when trying to style it this season.
