With brands all over the world, including our desi ones declaring yellow as the reigning colour this season, the fashion scene seems to have been splashed with this warm hue. Known as an experimental colour earlier, the conception of it being a loud, bold colour seems to have undergone a massive change with celebs flaunting it all over — be it clothes, accessories, shoes, bags or even hair colour!
The notion that yellow has people grabbing for their glares has done an about turn with designers experimenting with shades of the colour, giving us a variety to choose from — right from a cheerful canary yellow, to a soft baby yellow to a delicate lemon yellow, we have finally woken up to this hue in the colour spectrum. This ‘fresh' colour, as experts are describing it, has finally woven itself as a great option on the fashion scene.
Eye-catching
Going out to a party and want to make a great first impression? Don a cheery yellow outfit that you just can't go wrong with. An eye-catching colour like this does not need too many accessories — so just team it with a nice bag and a pair of fuchsia pink stilettos, and you are set for the evening with second looks guaranteed!
If you are someone with a milder sense of adventure and feel you can't carry a yellow alone, team up a stylish bright yellow top with a pair of jeans or capris for that striking effect. With most people not being too sure if they can carry off yellow as a whole, accessories are a great way to play with this hot colour. Be it bags, shoes, scarves or jewellery, yellow is a must have in your wardrobe this season — a tote for those office essentials, a clutch for a social outing or an oversized handbag for shopping. Teaming up your outfit with a yellow bag is a sure shot to instantly brighten up your otherwise neutral look.
Another great way to flaunt that fabulous colour is on your feet. Yellow shoes are the latest craze the world over, so grab a pair today; also yellow flip-flops are the prefect summer wear. If nothing else, use your imagination to weave that colour into your look without it being too obvious, like wrap a baby yellow scarf around you, or clinch a big buckled high waist belt for a great effect!
Trend setter
Another trend doing the rounds is yellow jewellery, be it high-end with my favourite yellow sapphire or your trinket jewellery that's lighter on the pocket and easier to pick up; even jewellers have taken the plunge into more unorthodox patterns to go with various yellow stones. Another great and also a more obvious play with the colour are hair extensions, which are available at all hair salons now. With our naturally darker hair colour as a base, a dash of yellow works wonders for every girl's look! Just don't overdo this colour especially with our tans; because an overdose can only be a ghastly fashion blunder.
Something for the boys too
Despite the attitude towards yellow being that of a girlie colour, today even men are willing to experiment with it. From yellow tees to pyjamas to bright headbands and glares, guys all around are seen sporting this new. It takes a self-assured man with oodles of confidence to steer away from basic neutrals. At your work front, keep those trousers basic but yellow looks great as a shirt and a tinge of colour on your night out will have the women hovering like bees; or best brighten up your routine look by wearing a spunky yellow tie or replace those white laces on the designer keds with yellow ones!
So now that we have ascertained that yellow definitely is the unisex colour of the season what are you waiting for? Pick up your wallet and go shopping today; go on and reinvent your fabulous selves with this smokin' hot hue!
