INSPIRATION

It’s spring – officially – and things are beginning to brighten up not least due to the annual cameo of yellow. Citrus, butter, primrose, mustard, honey, gold, corn – these sunny shades are equal parts warm

and optimistic.

Sure, the weather may be a tad capricious, but raising the style temperature has never been easier. Now, that’s something to smile about.

STYLE NOTES

NEW-TRALISE

New to the trend? Pair yellow with a neutral duo like black and white.

Feeling brave? Up the ante with a bright accessory in a trending shade like red or violet.

GLOW YOUR OWN WAY

Choosing the wrong shade of yellow can have iffy consequences.

Try this skin tone tip: Olive? Choose lemon and vivid brights. Pale? Opt for mustard and darker yellow hues.

PENNEYS FROM HEAVEN

Make summer a breeze with the €17 fuss-free dress from Penneys that’s creating, well, quite the fuss. We can see why!

FEEL-GOOD FACTOR

Need a lift? Wearing yellow is thought to increase optimism and positivity in both mind and mood. Not a bad perk.
