Blue was a
much forecasted colour trend that
hit menswear in a big way this season. Now, we are also making way for another
major colour that has swamped the spring/summer shows; the delightfully
season-appropriate Yellow.
To
include a potentially volatile colour such as yellow in a number of this
season’s spring/summer collections is hardly surprising. Menswear has favoured
the brave this year with a range of bold trends for the warmer months, the
likes of daring prints, and
coloured shoes. Yellow is often described as the perfect
gender-neutral hue. It is deceptively easy to work into your wardrobe because
the varying shades can be used to create a number of desired effects. However,
the most difficult part of working with yellow is getting
the right shade for your skin tone. Medium to dark skin tones work very well with most colours and
tones. Pastel and brighter yellow hues work exceptionally well if you fall into
this category. Avoid going too bright with your yellow if you have darker skin
tones, as you risk creating too strong of a contrast between the colour and
your skin. Those with a paler
skin tone should be careful with pastels as they can make you look a little washed out. Bold yellows can look great, as do mustard and gold hues, which create strong,
flattering contrasts with your skin tone.
As my tan increases throughout the summer, so will my options on shades of yellow to choose from.
