If there’s one thing I’m a sucker for, it’s a color trend. Millennial pink? I wore it. Blueberry milk? Sure, why not? Black cherry? Bring it on.

This summer, there’s a new trendy hue in town that’s actually just a completely normal, existing color that the internet has given a cutesy name to, and I am all in.

Butter yellow.

Sort of dumb? Yep. A good excuse to go shopping? Absolutely.

Especially if — like me — you’re not a fan of bright yellow, this could be your inroad to the sunny side of the color spectrum.

Think: well, yellow like the color of butter.

Or maybe margarine? It’s not that deep, literally.

How to wear butter yellow

Butter yellow goes great with neutrals like olive green and brown. You won’t look too loud, but your outfit won’t be boring, either.

Easy, breezy, beautiful butter yellow.

Obviously the short-sleeve shirt of the summer deserves a spot on this list. A knit polo in butter yellow makes for an easy elegant outfit for date night or a business casual office.

Pop of color shorts

Your butter yellow doesn’t have to stay up top. Consider shorts or pants in the color, or slip into shoes in the hue this summer.
