Six Ways to Wear Yellow! 

Feminine, flirty, and lively – the colour yellow does it all! With its many versatile shades, this powerful pigment lets you portray happiness, intensity, confidence, and a myriad other statements. Worn right, you can brighten up a gloomy day or pique interest, all while looking dazzling!

1. Match Your Skin Tone 

If you have a lighter or fair skin tone, opt for darker shades of yellow like mustard and butterscotch and avoid lighter hues that will wash you out. For olive complexions, brighter shades of yellow will add an instant glow to your skin!

2. Mix It Up 

Black, grey, navy blue (a favourite!), and white are safe bets when it comes to mixing and matching with yellow. With these oldies but goldies, it’s hard to go wrong. However, it’s always fun to be adventurous with outfits so don’t be afraid to wander off the beaten path with something fresh and exciting!

3. Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize 

If you’re not feeling up to making yellow a significant part of your outfit, it plays well in the supporting role of handbags, scarves, and jewelry! It can be that pop of colour in an otherwise mild ensemble.

4. Happy Feet 

Okay, okay, I know shoes are technically an accessory as well but I believe they deserve their own spot on this list, especially when we are talking about yellow shoes. The great thing about yellow sandals? They complement other pastel colours beautifully!

5. Rain, Rain, Go Away! 

It doesn’t take long for monsoon rains to wear thin, so add a little cheer to your day by donning a bright raincoat to take away those rainy blues.

6. Get Your Glam On 

We’ve established that yellow is a fun colour but would it be out of place at a black tie event? Not if you play your shades right! Gold and champagne are often found on the red carpet and always look regal when worn well.
