Yellow is not just eye-catching. it lifts your spirits and any look it’s a part of. It’s definitely one of our favourite colours!
Watch out, because we truly believe that, this spring, it’s going to steal the show off the other pastel shades that we frequently see this time of year. The Pantone Color Institute also agrees, and named Illuminating Yellow and Ultimate Grey as the colours to be seen in 2021.
If up to now you haven’t dared to try wearing yellow, it’s time to change your mind: brighten up your wardrobe and fill it with colour and good vibrations! We show you how to wear yellow, follow this season’s trends and match it with items already in your wardrobe.
Yellow, like a Spring daffodil
Forget the autumnal shades we all wore a few seasons ago, when mustard tones mixed with rusty colours. This spring, yellow arrives in full bloom and looking for the limelight. It’s bright, warm and cheerful! So much so that Pantone says that wearing yellow helps you feel more alive and joyful.
We saw some of the biggest fashion names, such as Prada, Jacquemus or Balmain, feature yellow on the Spring-Summer 2021 catwalks. We are getting ready for it to take street style by a storm in dresses of all cuts and lengths and combinations with gold, white and earth tones.
Who looks good in yellow?
According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, yellow conveys hope, positivity and strength. Eiseman says that yellow has been selected for its sparkling vibrancy and energy – perfect to fill your looks with good vibrations!
The intensity of yellow garments and their bright shades are great for those women whose features are best represented by winter in the colourimetry system: women with oriental, black or very fair skin, grey freckles, dark hair and black, blue or dark green eyes.
Whatever your skin tone, you can enjoy the energy of yellow clothes. Try different options until you find the shade of yellow that best suits you. Click here if you are not sure what season best represents your colouring, or ask your Personal Shopper!
How to wear yellow
When we welcome a new colour into our wardrobe, it is essential that we can find complimentary items to wear it with. Go beyond the total look and don’t stop at yellow dresses and jumpsuits. Here’s everything you need to know about matching this trendy colour.

- Yellow and grey
Pantone says so! The combination of these two seasonal colours will take your wardrobe to its trendiest heights. Create a two-tone outfit by choosing a grey cardigan with a skirt in the same colour and add the accent colour with a yellow bag and a belt for a chic and feminine look.
Try a khaki skirt with a tailored yellow top. This look is balanced, sophisticated and trendy.
Denim and yellow, the perfect combination! The timeless indigo blue shade is the most suitable to enhance the intense yellow of a seasonal blouse. A safe bet to enjoy trendy colours without jumping too far out of your comfort zone. And if you’re in the mood for something more daring, swap your jeans for navy blue chinos worn with a yellow cami.
Yellow and orange
Strength, energy, vitality… If you’re looking for a vibrant look, choose two colours full of positivity. A straight cut blazer in a bright yellow shade and an orange top worn with beige trousers could make up your next favourite look this season. Pair with espadrilles for an outfit that will ensure you’re ready for anything Spring throws at you!
What would summer be without white? The hottest days are ideal to enjoy a fresh and summery look in white and yellow. We love the combination of a yellow linen jumpsuit with a white denim jacket and a net bag.
