With sunshine-filled afternoons and blossoming petals set to erase the final traces of the lingering cold in the weeks ahead, trendsetters can officially step out into spring. If you’re looking for an easy way to refresh your wardrobe, look no further than the luminous shades of yellow which have made a statement on the runways. This spring, rich buttercup shades just might bring a sunny finish to your sartorial choices for both day and night. Here’s how to rock the season’s new bold yellows on the weekend, at the office and after hours.

Casual Chic

Whether you’re strolling through an outdoor market or hitting your favourite boutiques for an afternoon of shopping, take your cues from the Valentino runway. For an authentic bohemian chic ensemble, step out in a brilliant deep yellow frock detailed with a deep V-neckline, flowing sleeves and a series of tiers. Add a bold white statement necklace, an oversized cocktail ring and a chain handbag to complete your effortless look.

Work Wear

To bring this charming colour into your nine to five wardrobe, try sporting a dark yellow jumpsuit with a high neckline (as spotted at Hermès). The look of cap sleeves, delicate zippered detail and a wide, waist-cinching belt polishes off the ensemble. Meanwhile, a sleek black leather tote brings a professional yet entirely stylish effect to your catwalk inspired weekday style.

Evening

As the skies darken and cocktail hour begins, swap your work-appropriate and modest jumpsuit for a flowing, intricate creation which brings Disney’s Princess Belle to mind. Take your inspiration from the Prabal Gurung runway, and arrive at every party in true enchanted style in a breathtaking strapless gown. The soft buttery colour and delicately pleated hemline offer a look which is both sensual and sweet for the romantic, alluring season ahead.
