Butter yellow is soft, subtle, and surprisingly easy to wear. If you’ve been wanting to try this trending color but aren’t sure how to style it, I’ve got you covered.
Butter yellow is one of those shades that feels a little unexpected but totally wearable—especially in the warmer months. It’s not as bold as sunshine yellow, but it still adds that light, happy feel to your outfits. Whether it’s a top, pants, or accessories, I’ve been playing around with ways to style this pretty pastel. Here are a few outfit ideas that pair perfectly with butter yellow (and don’t feel over the top).

The yellow top from amazon is different, the sleEves are not as large as the amazon top, can you please provide the link to that excact top?
I love this! I’m closer to Kristy in body size so it’s really helpful seeing these side by sides.
Butter yellow is one of my favorite shades to style—it’s soft, cheerful, and surprisingly versatile. I love vintage handbag pairing it with neutrals like beige or white for a fresh look, or soft blues and muted greens for a gentle contrast. Accessories in gold tones really make the color pop beautifully.
