How To Wear Yellow This Spring: Outfit Ideas

April 1, 2019

I get it, yellow is not everyone’s fave color to wear. In fact, there are millions of people who think that yellow does not look good against their skin tone. If you are one of them, I feel you. Before you dismiss yellow all together I would like for you to read this post first. Below I am going to share with you my favorite yellow pieces to purchase for spring and how to style them. I am also going to add a few photos of women of all different shades rocking yellow.

Every online store, from Asos to designer’s websites, seem to have a pop of yellow in their spring collection. It’s not only a hot color in fashion but also in home decor.

In the spirit of making this 2019 color trend a little more wearable, I’ve put together four outfits all containing some yellow. Whether you’re looking to sport the shade at work, spring wedding, or a summer party, you’re sure to find at least one way that suits your style. Before we jump to the outfits below I would love to touch on two questions that many of you have asked me.

What colors go well with yellow?

One of the most popular colors to pair yellow with is black but I promise you it is not the only way. As someone who is not afraid to pair bright colors together, I like to wear yellow with white, light pink, navy, burgundy, blue, red, camel, purple and lavender.

What kind of yellow works for my skin tone?

Black skin tone: If you are dark skinned yellow is your color. Most shades will look amazing on you! I love this bright yellow dress on Viola Davis and this gorgeous outfit on Folake.

Medium skin tone: You can also get way with most yellow but bright and vibrant yellow are always a great shades to try. Here is an example

Fair skin tone: In my opinion, darker yellows like mustard work better against your skin tone. Love this look on Gigi Hadid

These are only suggestions, feel free to wear whatever color or shade you are comfortable with. Without further ado here is how to wear yellow this spring.
