Ringing in spring with a colourful twist, yellow and its shades have been making their way back to the catwalk, red carpet and, most importantly, our closets.
Mellow in Yellow moodboard
From soft butter yellow, to zesty lemon garnishes, the happiest colour of all is shining on the fashion trend radars.
Style bloggers and fashion lovers alike demonstrate their takes on dashing fits with the warm tone, whilst the high street retailers offer a variety of trendy options: from bags to soft knits. Here’s everything you need to know about the sunniest trend of the spring.
On The Catwalk
Givenchy’s FW 25 collection featured multiple yellow pieces and details, signalling that yellow is back on the major runway. Givenchy’s creative director Sarah Burton spent her entire career at Alexander McQueen, before being appointed to lead the French fashion house last September. Her debut collection at Paris Fashion Week was an encapsulation of “Everything it is to be a woman today”.
The collection featured something for every mood and occasion. The bright yellow pieces were a reflection of the glamorous and beaming aspects in a womanhood.

Eccentric as always, the actor paired a cropped double-breasted jacket with a pair of dyed in the matching lemon sorbet shade. Chalamet’s bright get-up was a colourful sight for fashion hunters.
