Yellow in all its forms: how to wear the flagship color of summer?

Canary, lemonade, mimosa, or buttercup, yellow is THE color of the season. Whether you like the bright and punchy Sulfide Yellow, or the softer and very summery Fizz Yellow, discover my look ideas and mix and match ideas with other colors. In a total look, paired with nude tones, playing with contrasts or graphic stripes, sprinkle a zest of lemon into your summer outfits!

Total little lemon look

Yellow works very well in monochrome. You can keep the same tone and really emphasize the idea of a total look, like in my Mimosa and Cosmopolitan shorts suit in Sulfure gabardine.

But why not use it in different materials: that's what I did by pairing my Mimosa gabardine jacket with my matching Sulfure lace Daïquiri dress .

It will also be possible to create a monochrome that combines several shades of yellow: the brightness and depth of the yellow vary according to the tones and materials chosen, the result can be really interesting.

Combine yellow and nude tones

Paired with more neutral tones like greige, beige, sand, or even a very soft pink tone, yellow becomes the star of the outfit. These color combinations allow you to have fun with yellow, which is a strong color, while maintaining a look that's easy to wear on a daily basis. It's soft, it's chic, it's refreshing... Irresistible!

Combine yellow with cool colors

The clash of color contrasts seems striking, but it's all about the right balance. Yellow is a primary color, and it plays a role in the creation of many intermediate colors such as khaki, lagoon blue, and meadow green. Depending on your mood, you can pair yellow with another strong color for a color-blocked outfit, or add a touch of it to an accessory, or even the lapel of a collar or the lining of a jacket. It's also possible to pair it with a color in pastel tones: this brings us back to the idea of combining yellow and nude. I played with this more nuanced option by combining the very bright Sulfide Yellow with our Smoky Blue, a very soft blue-gray.

Summer stripe game in Dolce Vita style

The yellow and white stripes act like a postcard of a waterside holiday: the deckchairs, parasols and lemon-flavored soft-serve ice cream immediately come to mind like a summer Proust madeleine.

Our Berlingot Jaune Fizz polyviscose voile is perfect for sewing yellow and white striped looks like the Skyline shirt , the Malibu polo shirt with its contrasting white collar or the beautiful Cuba Libre dress .

The most elegant of bees

One could question the relevance of associating black stripes with yellow, one could... But it works wonderfully! I still prefer to opt for associating a striped piece with another in plain yellow fabric, for a little adorable preppy look. A beautiful sun skirt and a slightly tight striped cardigan, striking yellow pants that match a little sailor-style top, the charm works and it's not so confusing after all... Is yellow the new black?! :)
