The style set has called it, mellow yellow is the colour to wear right now. From floaty sun dresses to relaxed tailoring, everything is washed in a soft, buttery glow that feels equal parts effortless and beautiful.

The shops are currently flooded with the most stunning array of mellow yellow fashion. And what’s not to love? It’s a sign that summer is on the horizon, and warmer days are coming. The airy hue caught our attention on the runways at Chloé, Chanel and Prada, but honestly, the high-street iterations are so utterly gorgeous that the temptation is real.

Zara’s older sister, Massimo Dutti, has some sleek, minimalist offerings, while Topshop and Nobody’s Child are leaning into softer, feminine designs. Personally, I’m all about the suiting. Mango, ASOS, and Aligne all have the most dreamy coords.

Content creators are making a strong case for colour-drenching. We’re talking top to toe of the same hue. With butter yellow at the heart of this mellow yellow aesthetic, the look is seriously creamy. If you’re not ready to fully commit, look out for key pieces. I’m loving the funnel-neck jackets, pretty tops, and even slouchy balloon trousers. It’s a trend I’m ready to dive right into.
