There's one trending color that is stealing the spotlight this summer: butter yellow. There have been hints of the uplifting hue in the past few seasons, but the spring/summer 2025 shows really solidified the muted shade as the MVP of the season. This year, the color comes in its palest iteration—soft, warm, and undeniably chic—and it has quickly become fashion's new neutral.
With just one look at our favorite retailers and celebs (we're looking at you, Kendall Jenner), you'll see that there's one item, in particular, where butter yellow is dominating: dresses, from A-line poplin styles to ethereal chiffon fabrics. The fashion set is all about the pretty trend this summer. Luckily, you don't have to spend a fortune to procure a chic one this season. In fact, I've done some digging and found 20 chic styles that you can score for under $150. I have a feeling these won't stay in stock for long, so keep scrolling to get your hands on them before they sell out.
