How to Wear Yellow: Even If You Think You Can't!

It's one of the hottest colors of the spring season and, unfortunately, one of the most difficult to wear. Yellow is popping up on the catwalk and taking the world of fashion by storm with its upbeat, sunny image. You'll surely see more of this popular color as
 we move into the warmer months. The vivid shade of yellow that's so popular this year tends to look best on people with dark hair and deeper skin tones as well as those with blue eyes since yellow shades accentuate shades of blue and purple. If you have yellow undertones to your skin, yellow can be unflattering if you don't choose the right shade. If you want to give yellow a try, here are some tips on how to wear it:

How to wear yellow: Choose the right shade

Even though you may not be able to wear the current sunny shade of yellow that's so popular, there's probably a shade of yellow that will flatter you. If you have dark hair and skin, you may be able to carry off the vivid yellows with panache. If your hair is blonde, opt for a softer, more muted shade of yellow. Redheads can wear yellows with red undertones such as gold and honey yellow tones. To determine which yellow shade is most appropriate for your hair and skin tone, visit a fabric store and experiment with different shades of yellow fabric by holding them up to your face. This can be a fun and enlightening experience.

How to wear yellow: Wear yellow accessories

If you can't find a shade of yellow you're comfortable with as an outfit but you still want to take part in the yellow trend, try incorporating a splash of yellow by adding a yellow handbag or yellow shoes. Wear your yellow shoes with a dark color such as black or navy blue for a fresh look that will still flatter your skin and hair. Yellow accessories can give your wardrobe a fresh, upbeat look without overpowering you with color.
