And it all depends on the style of the garnment, of course. GP put up a great ex.(in her pictie nr 1) of a top which wouldn't be overly feminine despite the soft color.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409849 Mon, 06 Apr 2026 18:08:20 +0000 unfrumped 2409849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t see it as a winner, in terms of just adding a top or jacket to your wardrobe. If you wanted to have a taste of the butter yellow trend, then something in a smaller amount that would contrast with summer blues &amp; denims, like a crossbody bag or some sneakers, might be fun, or in the print of a scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409823 Mon, 06 Apr 2026 12:59:05 +0000 Helena 2409823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it suits you well! This shade looks a little more saturated on my screen than a really soft buttery yellow, and looks like what I always see as a good yellow for "cool" palettes, which I think you are, right? Might be fun to try a less expensive piece, just for a little spring pick me up? I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409802 Mon, 06 Apr 2026 10:49:53 +0000 Suntiger 2409802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure about that yellow exactly, but the yellow in the skirt goldenpig is showing could work. I think that's one they recommend for Winters, cause it's icy rather than pastel.<br /> I've been paying a lot more attention to the different shades of yellow in nature- early leaves on trees, daffodills, forsythias, etc. The early leaf (dark warm closer to green) could be my version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409798 Mon, 06 Apr 2026 06:02:54 +0000 goldenpig 2409798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I feel like both you and I love the rocker/edgy/darker vibe, and teal and autumn and jewel tones, but both think that pastels are not our style. Well I've fallen head over heels for pink which was a surprise for me. I think loving the burgundy everything for fall/winter naturally transitioned to pink for spring, especially after I bought the pink bag and realized it went with everything including burgundy! I never knew I was such a girly girl! So, you can absolutely do butter yellow even if it's not your usual style. Not everything has to be edgy! But, pairing architectural butter yellow tops with black leather pants, or a cream or black top with butter yellow skirt, or snakeskin dress or pants could be cool and edgy butter yellow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409701 Sat, 04 Apr 2026 23:08:54 +0000 Jaime 2409701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see dullness at all. If you find the right piece it could work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409685 Sat, 04 Apr 2026 15:22:25 +0000 JAileen 2409685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love yellow in the garden, like daffodils, iris, forsythia, and yarrow, so I can’t be neutral about it. &nbsp;Why bother with an okay yellow when you have so many colors that are really fab on you, like teal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409681 Sat, 04 Apr 2026 14:11:29 +0000 Janet 2409681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the feedback! Really interesting point about the “edge” factor. In theory I could wear a yellow top in this shade with some of my edgier pants or cargo skirt, etc. Or ideally get a yellow piece that has some inherent masculine or edgy component. I really like this style in this photo, but not prepared to spend $200+ on a color that may be a flash in the pan for me. </p> <p>So I think I will just file this info away and not bother with butter yellow at this point unless it’s in a print! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409621 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 20:20:21 +0000 goldenpig 2409621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could absolutely wear it, but t's not a color I think i've seen you wear/not your usual palette. If you like the more pastel shade, go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409619 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 19:23:24 +0000 Jenni NZ 2409619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks lovely with your skin, suits you! So I think if you don’t like it maybe there are other reasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409617 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 19:05:13 +0000 Sal 2409617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are drawn to it why not? I like buttery yellow. </p> <p>I have a few colours with only one item in that colour - as long as I have neutrals to wear it with then it works. </p> <p>I tried a shirt in this colour recently - I liked the colour but it was oversized and boxy and crisp which is not what I wanted despite loving the piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409613 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 18:09:02 +0000 texstyle 2409613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I'm never a huge fan of yellow but I think a more saturated&nbsp; deep yellow might be more vibrant and go with your style better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409611 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 17:43:39 +0000 Star (Lise) 2409611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly I am not a fan (seeing that you asked). It is not bad imo, just not one of your best. I'd say only if you love the colour wear it. I think a bright lemon yellow may suit you better. I think this yellow works with warmer jewellery and you wear predominantly silver so that is telling for me. When my hair was darker only cool or bright yellows worked. When my hair was silver any yellow looked not great. Now I'm not sure as my hair is a pink-ish blonde and I have not tried any yellows recently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409606 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 17:07:19 +0000 Lisa 2409606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this soft yellow color for you, I just think it needs the right styling to make this color work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409599 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:51:16 +0000 Carol 2409599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great color! One of my favorites. Seems to work on you, but I know you prefer blues and such. Perhaps adding in quite a bit of gold or copper jewelry touches...or pairing with darks like burgundy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409598 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:44:37 +0000 RobinF 2409598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me! It would be fun for an occasional change-up.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409597 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:37:29 +0000 The Cat 2409597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, the colour looks GREAT with your colouring. Team a yellow top with some of your edgy items and your outfit will be sensational. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409596 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:32:44 +0000 Angie 2409596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Does not dull your complexion. It’s different, and fab with salty hair! </p> <p>You can successfully add a tough edge to pastels. It’s a fab look! Part of the Dark Romance trend too. I’ve covered that in a blog post that’s lined up ready to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409594 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:24:13 +0000 Suz 2409594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it dulls your complexion, though it's hard to say for sure since I take it you're in a shop with fluorescent lights, which make everything look a bit unreal. But like <b>Lisa,</b> I suspect it's not one you gravitate to because it often comes in very feminine-coded items and/or would just feel too "girlish." Having said that, since it's enjoying a fashion moment, this season, you may find items that are quite sophisticated (as in <b>Angie</b>'s blog post) and new colour combinations that could work, if it appeals to you. Not just with denim (though it's great with that). I find that's the best thing about any colour enjoying "a moment." It becomes available in out-of-the-ordinary items.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love butter yellow but don't think I can wear it myself. Though my mother wore it exceptionally well (usually with a bit of a tan, admittedly, since for her it was a summer colour.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409593 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:05:16 +0000 LJP 2409593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I wouldn’t say that it dulls your skin tone - not at all in fact . But - I think it lacks the edge you like in a look. Yellow can read soft and femme , and that might be the disconnect ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buttery-yellow#post-2409592 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:02:16 +0000 Janet 2409592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yellows have never been my best color, but last year I took this photo holding up a butter yellow top to my face. I’m not sure. It’s in store lighting too, which is never the best. I feel like it maybe dulls the color of my eyes and skin. Might not be worth investing in anything in this color when I have others that suit me so much better. Sometimes it’s nice to have a little variety though!</p> <p>What do you think about this color on me? And can you wear it comfortably? </p>
