Butter Yellow is Having a Moment and I Found the Cutest Pieces 🧈
There’s a clear color of the season this year and before seeing the subject line of this post, I bet you could guess on your own what it is.
Yes, it’s…..butter yellow.
It’s one of those colors that photographs like a dream, so for it to be on trend right now is a photographer’s dream. I knew I had to round up some really good butter yellow wardrobe finds for you to feel inspired by! ALL of the butter yellow outfits are clickable and you can find them below.
Whether you’re planning an upcoming session or just love gathering outfit inspiration, I’ve rounded up plenty of good pieces that bring this hue to life. I also added in a swimsuit option I found for anyone wanting to take a dip in a lake with their babies! This one would be PERFECT for a day trip to Lake Superior; just saying.
Even if you don’t have a session booked, you might just have some new, fresh pieces to add to your closet. You’re welcome!
Why Butter Yellow Works So Well in Photos
Butter yellow is just warm enough to feel nostalgic, without being overpowering. It plays beautifully with natural light, adds a soft pop against greenery or neutral backdrops, and complements all skin tones. It pairs gorgeously with textures like linen, cotton, and soft knits; all things I recommend for photo sessions anyway.
What to Pair It With
If just one person in your family wears butter yellow, here are a few color pairings that complement beautifully:
Soft beige or khaki
Sage or a darker olive green
Chambray, denim blue, or navy blue
Ivory or crisp white
Rust or terracotta
This palette works beautifully for summer and will transition seamlessly into early fall. I’ll give you some visual examples below!
If you don’t have a session on the books yet but this color post has you feeling inspired… maybe it’s time. 😉
