Think summer and that one colour that instantly comes to mind is yellow. It’s subtle and cheery, but also vibrant and bold. And it was all yellow at a lot of runway collections for Spring Summer 2016 (pardon the Coldplay reference, but I’m a big fan). Be it the heavily-embellished cocktail dresses at Badgley Mischka or the panelled skirts and sheer dresses at Rahul Mishra, it was the memo for the season. A burst of the cheery hue fit perfectly with the riviera revisited at Dolce & Gabbana or the boho-meets-feminine vibes of Derek Lam’s presentation.
So much so that Pantone even mentioned how Buttercup (a rather chirpy shade) is bound to be a game-changer for colours this year. IMO, this palette has so much potential — opt for a bold look with a pop shade of canary yellow or mute it down with a subtle shade of mustard. There’s something for every type of personality. So, get cracking and incorporate this hue in your wardrobe STAT.
