Spring 2025 Trend: Butter Yellow

Do you recall the song “Mellow Yellow” by Donavan? I dare you not to get a smile on your face after you listen to it here!  Which brings us to a trend of Spring 2025…the color Butter Yellow!

This is not mustard yellow or lemon yellow. As the song says…it’s mellow yellow. Soft and calm. Think of the color of a baby chick. Many of us don’t have much butter yellow in our closet, yet one piece would be a great addition to a wardrobe. It’s flattering to most people and will make outfits look current without being ‘over-the-top’. Plus, it’s a great change from white.

Here are our FabList suggestions:

Sweater:

Probably the easiest way to add butter yellow to your wardrobe mix is a casual, drop-shoulder cotton sweater like this one from the Gap.

This ‘cotton-cashmere’ funnelneck sweater from Everlane is a great winter/early spring butter yellow piece for when you still need to keep warm.

Blouse/Tee:

Swap out your white blouse for a butter yellow one that will look great with jeans, nicer trousers or a skirt.

This Old Navy option is a great budget way to test out the color in a classic button-down shirt.

Shoes:

A pair of butter yellow sneakers adds a bit more interest than a plain white pair. How fun are these SeeVees?! Love them!

Sweatshirt:

This Gap sweatshirt is a great, soft color and it can be thrown on over jeans or workout gear. This crewneck from Athleta is also a fab color and classic style. And if you prefer a quarter zip, Athleta has that option too.

Dress:

This linen sundress is a great spring/summer option. We both have it in the short-sleeved version and love it.

Accessories:

This crossbody hobo bag from Athleta comes in 4 great colors (we also like the navy!). This bag in any color would be a great travel bag with its material, shape and pockets.
