Butter yellow has officially entered spring fashion, and we can’t get enough of this trendy color. Soft yet fresh, this simple shade feels wearable and perfect for the start of warmer weather. Pieces like a pintuck peplum top, Blowfish Benita espadrille flats and a breezy maxi dress prove that the buttery shade works on anything (yes, everything from basics to statement pieces).
We’ve rounded up our favorite butter-yellow pieces from Nordstrom, Amazon, Walmart, Abercrombie & Fitch, and more, all of which feel simple and easy to style. From cozy knits and breezy dresses to polished flats and relaxed trousers, these pieces capture the trend without feeling too big. Prices start at around $20, making it easy to test-drive (your new fave) shade.
