From Valentino to Dion Lee, here’s how to wear the butter yellow shade
Keep it light, subtle and classy with this hue


While hues like mustard and lemon have had their moment in the ‘sun’ in the past, one shade of yellow that has found many takers of late is butter. Delicate yet striking, the colour has been found on everything from swimsuits to skirts and evening dresses. Here’s our pick…
Cotton on
If you’re heading to a beach vacation, this dress from LoveShackFancy might be just what you’re looking for. Christened the ‘Cressida’ dress, it is made from broderie anglaise cotton. Other details like ruffles and a flowy skirt add to its appeal. Rs.51,060 approximately
Tulle easy
Molly Goddard’s Bronwyn midi dress is best worn over a delicate lace slip in a contrasting shade to keep up with current trends. Made from whisper-weight tulle, it has voluminous sleeves and a layered skirt. Rs.63,620 approximately
Sheer brilliance
Inspired by Jimi Hendrix’ signature style, the Hendrix shirt from Staud, is cut from organza and designed for a slim fit. The tonal stretch jersey bra it comes with completes the look. Rs.18,845 approximately
