This spring’s biggest trend? Butter Yellow – and we are obsessed!!
This soft, cheerful hue is popping up everywhere right now, from dresses and skirts to accessories and shoes. This color is fresh, fun, and surprisingly versatile. A perfect pop of color that still feels neutral enough to mix and match!
Here is some butter yellow inspo we’ve been loving from Pinterest:
We recently shared a styling reel featuring butter yellow pants, and it almost went as viral as our terracotta pants reel (which we didn’t think was possible!). That post proved what we were already feeling: everyone’s loving this color as much as we are.
In this post, we’re diving into how to style yellow pants for spring – including our favorite color pairings and outfit inspo to help you feel confident rocking this trend. First up, here are a few of the yellow pants we’ve got on rotation right now:
- Wit & Wisdom – Sam High Waist Ankle Wide Leg Twill Pants
- Maeve – The Colette Cropped Wide-Leg Pants by Maeve: Magic Fabric Edition (these are the ones we wore in the reel – sadly sold out for now!)
- Loft – Palmer Wide Leg Crop Pants in Twill
