How to wear butter yellow — this season's trending colour

Butter would melt from the Goth energy and hardcore leather accessories seen together with light-yellow at Milan Fashion Week

I’m prepared to look past semantics and wear butter on my sleeve.

It’s a vibe, yellow that is. No longer just a by-product of red and green, the summer-soaked hue has shifted from unsullied optimism and bold creative energy to more humble associations – butter, namely. Oh, and lemons. 

Not to be pedantic but might we have put more thought into these seasonal descriptors? The current appetite for soft yellow is understandable. It’s all about the bait and switch. Paired with eggshell blue or chocolate brown, its pastel reputation acquires instant gravitas.
