Summer is the season in which some of us reach our full fashion potential. We get to go all out with bold colors, mix & match prints, and not to mention, wear pieces that show off our amazing figures that we worked on throughout the colder months. At Detroit Fashion News, we’re strong advocates for taking risks when it comes to style, which is why we’re here to tell you how you can look radiant in yellow this summer.
Yellow?
Yes, yellow. We know it probably sounds like a bit much to those of you that swear that black is a primary color, but trust us — these outfits are sure to have you looking like the most fashionable lady in the room.
A yellow lace skirt would be perfect for an afternoon date! Paired with an off the shoulder top and strappy sandals, your beau’s eyes will be glued to you.
(River’s Island Skirt, $70; Topshop Blouse, $80; GoJane Faux Suede Heels, $40; Dolce & Gabbana Handbag, $3,241; Isabel Marant Bracelet, $70)
If you’re not quite ready to embrace wearing such a bright color, take baby steps! An all white outfit with yellow shoes and accessories would be a nice way to ease yourself into the change.
(BCBG Max Azria Crop Top, $119; Sleeveless Waistcoat, $28; Satin Culottes, $352; Steve Madden Sandals, $90; Henri Bendel Handbag, $455)
Lemonade, anyone? This Dolce & Gabbana printed dress would be all the rage at country club picnics and other summer events. Plus, Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy was spotted wearing a mini version of it on Instagram!
(Dolce & Gabbana Dress, $2,864; Michael Kors Sandals, $95; Clutch, $35; Faux Pearl Necklace, $50; Earrings, $9)
Trade in your denim shorts for a pair of high-rise yellow ones! A lace crop top and fancy flats would be adorable for brunch with your family, a day at the mall or even an impromptu girls’ night out. If you want to make the look more casual, swap the crop top out for a simple v-neck, throw on a denim jacket, and voila! You’ll look instantly cool.
(Alice + Olivia Crop Top, $132; High-Rise Shorts, $117; Lace-Up Flats, $42; Coach Handbag, $287; Kate Spade Watch, $195)
Want to spice up your work wardrobe? An all-yellow ensemble will earn you the title as “Best Dressed” in the office, for sure! If you want to mellow the outfit down a bit, you can throw on a neutral colored blazer and heels.
(Textured Top, $18; Rivers Island Wide Leg Pants, $64; ALDO Sandals, $80; Michael Kors Handbag, $298; Chloe + Isabel Statement Necklace, $138)
