Yellow - the color of the sun, sunflowers, gold and dandelions - will cope with this task perfectly. In the warm season, bright yellow clothes will effectively highlight your tan (even if it was obtained at the dacha) and will cheer up not only you, but also those around you. This season, designers from such brands as Gabriela Hearst, David Koma, Rejina Pyo are offering to wear midi-length dresses, crocheted suits, and amber-yellow jackets - all in order to brighten up the summer of 2021 with the absence of the usual travel and recreation for many .

A bright yellow suit with a large floral print looks so self-sufficient that any fashion accessories next to it will seem superfluous - the only additional details in the look may be a black belt and dark sunglasses. Bright prints on a suit not only draw attention to themselves, but also help you avoid turning into a peddler for a famous delivery service: combine this outfit with any flat shoes (mules are ideal) or with classic pumps that match the print.
Cream color and its combination in clothes
Slightly soft yellow tint. Knitted cream dresses and trousers are an excellent solution for autumn and winter for ladies of any age. Try pairing cream with a flannel oversized sweater for an everyday outfit. Avoid wearing clothing made from rough fabric or wool.
1-5 - pale pastel colors, intelligently combined with a cream bottom. A compromise between severity and softness in appearance.
6-15 - a range of shades that pleasantly please the eye in any environment, allowing you to look neat and impeccable. When combined with open tops, this solution is ideal for summer sun and green vegetation.
16-25 - neutral and perfect for anyone looking for not too bright and catchy solutions for the autumn-winter season, especially older ladies. This is a suitable pattern for a casual outfit for the spring or fall season.
16-20 - soft grayish shades of outerwear will pleasantly please the eye in a calm atmosphere. At the same time, a successful combination with a cream bottom will create smooth transitions in appearance.
21-25 - Brighter shades are great for creating contrast. This color scheme in combination with fashionable trousers will give your appearance more sexuality and intelligence.
25 and 26 are deep blue and purple shades, literally created for dimension and elegance. 27 - dark blue harmonizes well with a light bottom and will look bright in the winter season. 28 is a good combination with gray, which is refreshing and elegant. 29 is a classic solution for every day, giving a strict appearance without frills. 30 - an almost black shade will also make you look businesslike and perfectly diversify your work style.
What to wear with a yellow jacket
It seems that the ideal combination would be a duet of a yellow jacket and classic monochromatic clothes, but fashion bloggers prove that you should not be afraid of bright things with a complex cut with prints and patterns. A blouse with a dynamic print, high-waisted jeans, red pumps and massive earrings will become real “allies” of this bright everyday look. A bag to match the jacket is designed to balance out the diversity - it is advisable to choose an accessory made of textured material, this way the image will look more interesting. A yellow bag and a yellow jacket will bring bright colors and a little summer frivolity to your everyday life - in this look, feel free to go to the office, shopping or to your favorite coffee shop in cool weather.

Banishing the blues
It is believed that yellow is more suitable for summer or holiday wear. However, a little sun glare won't hurt an all-season business wardrobe. They refresh the image and add mood to boring everyday life. The main thing is to adhere to moderation in quantity and pair it with the right color.
Grey
Choose moderately saturated tones of yellow, and gray will give them severity, nobility and sophistication. Warm, light shades of gray are most often used.
To two colors you can add a third - white or black. An example of a successful set: a light gray skirt, a milky white top and a pale yellow jacket.
Beige
A beige and yellow set in warm, calm tones of both colors adds softness, charm and sophistication to the look. The color tandem can be complemented advantageously with white or brown details.
Brown
Wheat with coffee brown looks amazing. However, other natural options of two colors can make a business duet. And if you add white or beige to them, you get a spectacular trio.
Dark blue
Only dark blue and denim tones can mute and add severity to yellow. A brighter blue will emphasize its non-triviality, which is not very appropriate in a business environment.

Who is it suitable for?
It is generally accepted that yellow looks especially impressive on bronze-tanned skin. However, not only brunettes can look spectacular in such outfits. With the right choice of shade, brown-haired women, blondes and red-haired beauties can easily achieve a harmonious image.
If you do not risk using a monochrome yellow tint in your image, or are simply not very inclined to this color, harmonious sets of a combination of things in warm sunny tones with other colors will come to your aid.
What to wear with yellow pants
Most of all, on a hot summer day, you want to break out of the office dress code and change your pencil skirt to loose trousers. Some people can afford such joys on weekdays, while others have to wait for the weekend to wear comfortable clothes: in any case, yellow trousers are a real must-have of the summer wardrobe - combine them with a bright jacket, transparent blue top and interesting accessories.

Yellow + blue
Stylish jeans and a yellow top look very feminine. The image can be called a combination of the yellow sun with the sky. Depending on the shades of clothing, fashionistas create business, casual and formal outfits. Also, outfits with blue and yellow colors can be diluted with beige, white, and brown tones.

What to wear with a yellow blouse
Laconic bras, crop tops and transparent fabrics have come to the fore in the summer of 2021: designers encourage everyone to be bold and not be afraid of images that are revealing at first glance. A yellow transparent blouse is the best “teacher of courage” this summer: combine it with light, wide trousers, platform sandals and stylish accessories - a round wicker bag, a massive choker chain, hoop earrings and light sunglasses. If you're heading to a city beach, wear a bright swimsuit underneath a sheer blouse, but if this look is too revealing for you, try a crop top or sports bra.

Yellow color is in fashion. Energy of sun
Yellow
has a difficult fate in the history
of fashion
. Over the centuries, he was treated ambiguously: he was worshiped, feared, mocked. Maybe that's why yellow wasn't at the peak of popularity very often. The technology of dyeing fabrics and yarn with natural yellow dyes was founded by people in ancient times. Using the roots and bark of various plants, dyers achieved different shades of yellow. Dyes made from rhubarb, fustik and onion skins were available to the poor, so brown and dull yellow tones were long considered the colors of the lowest class. Dyes that provided high quality, beauty and durability were highly valued. Plant pigments from the safflower flower, barberry root, and turmeric fruit produced a rich palette of deep, noble yellow flowers. Fabrics dyed with these dyes did not fade when washed, did not fade in the sun and were safe for health. The main consumers of such fabrics were only rich people.
At the beginning of the 20th century, during the era of fascination with oriental and ethnic styles, expensive shades of yellow were incredibly popular. The costumes of the famous couturier Paul Poiret made of gold brocade with oriental patterns, trousers, tunic dresses made of thin saffron-colored muslin, kimonos embroidered with yellow dragons met the tastes of the bohemian public of that time. In the 1920s and 30s, luxury became the main trend in fashion. During this time, often referred to as the Golden Age, the Art Deco style reigned supreme. Based on the simplicity and clarity of the forms of the Art Nouveau and Constructivist styles, it at the same time provided for deliberately refined fabrics and rich oriental decoration.
In the 1960s, youth fashion replaced the restrained and elegant classics of the 1950s.
New trends in music, painting, and design are reflected in clothing. Pop art and op art of the 1960s and 70s brought bright yellow
to the forefront. In the collections of Pucci, Missoni, Ungaro and Saint Laurent, yellow was shown to the public in contrasting combinations with black, red, and purple, which create a colorful, cheerful mood. Yves Saint Laurent's short jackets with Van Gogh's embroidered sunflowers are still considered a masterpiece in the world of designer clothing.
In the 1980s, yellow was completely forgotten. In its place came the golden one, but in a completely different guise. It was a time when the propaganda of luxury deprived gold of its nobility, when the desire to impress others reached the point of kitsch. In the 1990s, the “golden revelry” was interrupted, and minimalism reigned on the fashion catwalk. Designers offered models with a simple, laconic cut, in which there was nothing superfluous. Their beauty and sophistication were achieved only through purity of form and experiments with color. And here the brightness of yellow in combination with achromatic colors came in handy.
In the 2000s, energetic yellow moved from the catwalks into the youth subculture and professional sports.
This carefree shade today can be found in youth clothing of a wide variety of styles and trends - from music and dance hip-hop to the extreme sports style of snowboarders or cyclists. But this does not mean that the fashion for it has passed. Designers turn to this cheerful color when their fascination with dark, gloomy tones ends. In the new summer season it has just ended. Yellow
is back

Combination of yellow with other colors
All light shades of yellow go well with other colors. They look great in a summer wardrobe and accessories, thanks to them you can create wonderful everyday and evening looks. And for this you only need to know your individual palette. Many women are afraid of the color yellow. And in vain! Yellow is unique in that it always highlights the color of the eyes! Green, olive, yellow-green, brown-green eyes on a yellow background become radiant and expressive.
At its maximum intensity, yellow can be more aggressive than red.
Its intensity is disturbing, stimulating the imagination. It is especially aggressive in combination with black. You shouldn't wear yellow often. It gets boring quickly, and others may get the impression that you have had clothes of this color for an eternity. Use this color as an accent. But remember: one yellow nuance in an outfit is quite enough. But if you're dressed in yellow
from head to toe, don't forget about accessories: bracelets or a belt in a contrasting color will complete the cheerful look. Yellow is the color closest to gold. Therefore, it is especially good in combination with gold accessories. We are talking not only about jewelry, but also about bags, shoes, etc.
Combinations of yellow shades with achromatic colors:
- white emphasizes the freshness and sportiness of yellow;
- gray gives yellow elegance;
- Black gives toughness and aggressiveness to bright yellow, luxury to gold, and sophistication to yellow-brown.
Combinations of bright yellow shades with other colors:
- Delicate shades of yellow combine harmoniously with all pastel colors: blue, light green, pink, lilac
Combinations with pastel colors require caution - there is a risk of creating an overly “sweet” image;
- Light yellow shades go well with all natural colors.
- Bright yellow colors pair effectively with other bright colors. This “friendship” creates defiant and daring color blocks, popular in sports and pop art styles;
- With dark colors, yellow looks bright. In this combination, dark colors become the background.
- The dark colors of autumn harmoniously set off the rich shades of yellow; combinations with dark blue are sophisticated, with dark green - sophisticated, with cherry and dark red - catchy.
Yellow is the color in a business wardrobe
During business, official meetings, yellow in a business suit is categorically inappropriate. But a yellow blouse or accessories are acceptable. Fierce, warm shades are associated with lively thinking: if you want to look creative in the eyes of management, partners or employers, choose bright yellow
as an additional color to the strict colors of the suit. Light yellow shades in suits, bags and shoes look organic in the warm season.
Yellow
actively used in business accessories. A yellow bag or shoes can beautifully complement a formal, light, neutral-colored suit. When the heat makes wearing closed, dark shoes unbearable, opt for open, light yellow strappy shoes. Gold jewelry, watches and eyeglass frames are included in the list of mandatory status business accessories.
In spring and summer, shades of yellow perfectly refresh a business wardrobe. Light and desaturated cream, vanilla and apricot, pale yellow is softer and more elegant than true yellow. They are especially good for blouses, tops, and scarves, because in combination with dark jackets they create the right contrast. In the warm season, these shades are acceptable for suits, bags and shoes.
Bright shades of yellow are used sparingly in business wardrobes, mainly in blouses, tops, scarves and accessories. They enliven the monotony of a business suit and make the whole image more energetic. Dark yellow shades are wonderfully combined with darker and more beautiful autumn colors - red, royal blue, fuchsia, turquoise, black.

Yellow color in everyday wardrobe
Designers are confident that to increase vitality, your everyday wardrobe should have at least two yellow items and several accessories. On a slushy day, a yellow cozy sweater will warm you up and lift your spirits, and in the summer, the combination of yellow and turquoise will create a truly beachy mood. Those who are reluctant to include the color yellow in their everyday wardrobe should pay attention to the fact that almost every year, in their spring-summer collections, world designers show dresses, trench coats, shoes, bags and many other items in yellow on the catwalk. Well, for those who still refuse to wear yellow clothes, we strongly recommend acquiring yellow accessories. Beads, bracelet or earrings will always decorate summer outfits.
The entire palette of yellow shades is indispensable in a summer wardrobe. Light citrus shades of lemon, orange and grapefruit are welcome everywhere: in clothes, accessories, shoes. In warm weather, a bright yellow top or bag is simply irreplaceable. They look perfect with a white suit, blue jeans or a wide, colorful skirt.
The palette of autumn
yellow colors
in tweed, wool, and satin is complex and rich. Deep yellow shades are wonderful colors for a smooth transition from summer to autumn. Clothes made from ocher cashmere and mustard-colored velvet are perfect for the autumn mood. Its soft, warm colors are subtly and delicately combined with darker and more beautiful autumn colors such as cherry, burgundy or raspberry.
In small quantities, bright yellow successfully enlivens the traditional muted color scheme of a winter wardrobe. A wonderful frosty day goes well with the bright yellow color of a warm sweater, hat, mittens or down jacket.
Yellow color gradually enters the spring wardrobe, just as the day gradually lengthens. Therefore, your arsenal should have at least one bright yellow accessory (bag, belt, shoes). With the appearance of the first greenery comes the desire to walk more and go into nature. Cozy and practical colors such as sand and ocher are indispensable for these pleasant events.
Yellow color in the evening wardrobe
Light shades of yellow in the evening palette should be quite bright and saturated. Under electric lighting, all delicate, desaturated light shades lose their charm and turn into faded, inexpressive colors. Elegant shades of lemon sorbet or yellow cherry look luxurious in evening dresses, tops and jumpsuits. Shades such as “dandelion color”, “canary”, “electric” in the evening palette are quite demanding on fabrics. They look great at summer parties in shiny satin and look especially good with any gold-colored accessories. In winter, these shades are best used in doses. Add electric yellow details to a little black dress and you'll be the center of attention. Dark shades of yellow are almost never used in the evening palette. These are obviously losing colors. In bright or dim artificial light, they lose their uniqueness and acquire an incomprehensible dirty tone.
