On Sunday, the fashion set descended on the Château de Versailles to attend the Jacquemus men’s spring 2026 show. Among the sea of well-dressed guests in inky blacks and milky whites, there was one colour that continued to captivate editors and influencers alike: butter yellow.
After taking centre stage at the Spring/Summer 2025 runways of more than a few of our favourite designers, including Toteme, Chanel and Chloé, the soft shade of yellow has officially transcended the trend cycle – and is now almost considered a neutral. Where whites, creams and beiges will always be chic, butter yellow feels like a fresh and playful choice.

It’s a versatile colour that doesn’t require an entire new wardrobe, either. It pairs well with colours you most likely already wear, including whites (perfect for summer), blues (a softer alternative to black, although the latter shouldn’t be ruled out either for an edgier take on the trend), greys and browns.
You can, of course, wear light yellow with denim. Or, if you’re ready to take it up a notch, nothing looks more high fashion than wearing head-to-toe butter yellow – opt for either a dress or a matching set to simplify the warm-weather dressing.
So, if you’re thinking of hitting a style refresh this summer, keep scrolling to see our pick of the best butter yellow pieces to buy on the high street right now.
