Fashion: How to wear yellow

Craving a bit of sunshine? Cure those winter blues in style with a twist of lemon or a hit of hot mustard.
How to wear yellow

It’s a colour many women avoid, but yellow is surprisingly easy to wear. Lemon suits fairer skin, while mustard looks great with olive tones. If you’re unsure which hue is you, start with a bag or shoe so it’s not too close to your face.

Coat $35, T-Shirt $15 both from Kmart. Jeans $99 from Vassalli. Boots $320 from Minx.

  1. Cobalt is a great colour to pair with yellow. These pants are perfect if you don’t want to wear bright hues close to your face but love the idea of trying something fresh and interesting

  2. The navy boots tie the whole look together and match the tones of the top and coat.

Scarf $40 from Dalston. Coat $119.99 from Glassons. Shirt $99.99 from Ezibuy (worn with cami $14.99 if bought together). Jeans $299 from Not Your Daughter’s jeans. Shoes $179 from Max. Bag $40 from Decjuba.­

  1. A neutral outfit goes from boring to brilliant with these two pops of colour. The chunky knit scarf looks snuggly and the blue boots add personality. A mustard shoe would have been too predictable!

Jacket $79.99 from Cotton On. Skirt $180 from Dalston. Tights $12 from The Warehouse. Necklace $29 from Max. Shirt $29.95 from Cotton On. Clutch $6 from Kmart. Shoes $74.99 from Ezibuy.

  1. This high-neck knit, chain necklace and leopard-print bag tie in so many key looks for this winter

  2. Opaque tights allow you to shorten your hemline.

Top $109.99 from Country Road. Pants $84.99 from Ezibuy. Shoes $190 from Minx. Bag $39.99 from Glassons. Necklace $65 from Decjuba.

  1. This bold yellow jumper is the perfect way to brighten things up. Worn with casual printed pants, the whole look is fresh, fun and perfect for a stylish weekend

  2. I love how the tribal necklace connects the whole outfit together.
