How French Women Are Wearing Butter Yellow in 2025 | Who What Wear

Published 1 week ago4 minute read

By this point, it's safe to say that the It color of spring/summer 2025 is officially pale yellow. There have been hints of the uplifting hue in the past few seasons, but the S/S 25 shows really solidified the muted shade as the MVP of the season, as it was spotted across a plethora of collections, including Alaïa’s gauzy peplum trousers, Toteme’s slinky cape gowns, and Chanel’s tailored jumpsuits and pleated floor-length gowns. This year, the color comes in its palest iteration, giving it a fresh, fashion-forward edge and making it the perfect alternative to your typical neutrals.

The French fashion set have been quick to embrace the elegant hue within their wardrobes. In fact, we've been spotting the minimalist color all over the streets of Paris—styled seamlessly with other staples such as denim and paired with other neutrals such as gray and black.

If you haven't dipped your toe into the butter-yellow trend yet, then keep scrolling below to get inspired by how stylish Parisians are wearing the color trend, and shop our favorite butter-yellow pieces to add to your wardrobe this season.

An easy way to integrate the color trend into your wardrobe is to swap your classic beige or black blazer and ballet flats with pale yellow instead. The subtle hue pairs perfectly with blue denim and a gray tank top.

A pale-yellow A-line skirt adds just the right subtle summery touch to your look. Bonus if you can tie it in with your polo top as well. Finish the look with black Mary Janes.
