Yellow is a striking color for spring/summer outfits, and in this post, you will find 7 pretty ways to style a yellow dress.
Every spring and summer we prefer the brightest clothes as they are more suitable for the warm weather and they look great together. Plus, yellow dresses flatter not only brunettes but fair-haired ones too as long as you choose the right shade of yellow.
So, when we choose to wear a yellow dress, there are many ways to style it and create fabulous outfits. From high-contrast color blocks with blue or pink to boho straw accessories, anyone can wear a yellow dress outfit to fit their style.
The best secret to styling a yellow dress and looking fashionable is to avoid the same color on the bag, shoes, and jewelry. This dated “matchy-matchy” styling makes the yellow dress look like a costume. So, you can choose one piece with your favorite color or material to pop out and the rest accessories in subtle neutral shades.
7 ways to style a yellow dress in spring/summer
Straw or tan bags and accessories
Do you find the contrast of color blocking too severe for you? Do you prefer harmonical combinations in your outfits? Then, a straw bag or espadrilles will style your yellow dress in the summer way. You can complete this outfit with accessories in tan, beige, or white color.
Metallics
Moreover, metallics match perfectly with yellow dresses whether you like gold or silver. For example, an elegant yellow dress with a metallic clutch or sandals is an excellent choice for a wedding guest outfit for spring and summer beach weddings, or other formal occasions. Moreover, for a pretty sophisticated summer style, you can wear your yellow dress with boho gold or silver jewelry, tan sandals, and a straw clutch.
Pink, red, or purple shades
Pink and yellow are a striking combination that creates a lovely color block. On Pinterest, you can find some yellow dress outfits that match a pink clutch with a pair of pink heels. But, I prefer neutral heels to flatter the legs and a statement pink clutch. Another beautiful color for accessories to combine with a yellow dress is dark purple. It creates a really classy style.
Blue accessories
Blue electric or turquoise is a very fresh combination with yellow that expresses the colors of summer. The yellow color represents the summer sunshine and the blue represents the sea and the clear blue sky. Also, I really love to wear different shades of blue in accessories to avoid “matchy” styling.
So, a beautiful way to style a yellow dress is by wearing a blue denim jacket, cute espadrilles, and a boho straw bag.
White accessories
White accessories are another pretty way to style a yellow dress. The white color doesn’t create hard contrast with yellow and gives a harmonical look. Moreover, if we choose a yellow dress with white details, we can keep one piece in white like sandals. For the other accessories, we can choose other colors or materials, like a straw bag or a stylish metallic clutch according to the occasion.
Yellow dress with prints and patterns
Animal prints, colorful boho stripes, and other summer prints go well with yellow color and they look amazing as accessories.
Black accessories
Black and yellow is a pretty safe styling option. It’s a good choice for those who don’t like to mix different vivid colors. Sandals or pumps in black look great with a yellow dress and you can combine them with a small bag or clutch. Yet, you should keep black accessories in small portions in order not to create severe contrasts and look like a bee.
In this inspirational fashion layout, I created a cute summer outfit that combines a minimal yellow dress and chic black flats with a small shoulder bag and pretty accessories in black shades. Mood board featured items:
