The Best Butter Yellow Pieces For Your Andie Anderson Moment
"Please, please, please" find me some trending butter yellow styles so I can channel my inner Sabrina Carpenter...
Yellow is having a big moment. Light, bright, buttery shades that would show up underneath your chin if you held them to your skin on a sunny day, they're pure summer in clothing form. But the obsession is nothing new - after all, it was when we all witnessed Kate Hudson as Andie Anderson in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days back in 2003 that 'the yellow dress' became rather iconic. It really is the dress we've all coveted since it first hit our screens, and now Y2K pop princess Sabrina Carpenter has reignited our love for a buttery yellow frock – and the rest.
Butter isn’t just an incredibly chic colour but, in spite of what you may think of yellow, it looks great with all skin tones too. Whether you’re pale, have olive undertones, or a darker complexion, this sunshine shade looks dreamy against any complexion - plus thanks to the various hues of yellow, it’s impossible not to find your yellow. From silky numbers that are ideal for special occasions like weddings and christenings, to linen-rich waistcoats and shorts that can be worn with flat sandals, we've rounded up some of the best yellow pieces on the market so you don't have to.
