Butter Yellow Is The Moment — Here's How to Master the Trend

If you've been locked in on the butter-yellow trend, you know it has been steadily gaining steam and now reaching full‑on mania. Sitting between beige and lemon, this shade is mellow enough for the colour‑shy but bold enough to stand alone. Locally, Australian Fashion Week saw the colourway peeking into runways for Aje, Carla Zampatti Wynn Hamlyn, whereas international runways have seen designers from Alaïa to Erdem drenching everything in the soft, happy hue: Simkhai and Emilia Wickstead featured minis and midis alike; Chloé and Bally bathed jackets in the sunshiney shade; and Chanel and Ralph Lauren's bags are basically pats of creamy goodness. The best part of butter yellow? It never feels one‑note, and there's a way to work it into your wardrobe, no matter your vibe. Want to keep things muted and grounded? Team butter yellow with another trending tone, chocolate brown — think tailored trousers or a pencil skirt for work. Here for more relaxed styles? Layer a buttery piece over white separates, or team with a butter-yellow accessory like bags or shoes. For off‑duty cool, pair your favourite jeans with a yellow top or flats. Feeling extra? Mix your boldest butter-yellow piece with ballet pink or mint green for a full pastel party. From knit minis and sleek work‑to‑dinner maxis to crisp cotton‑poplin tops and throwover jumpers, there's a butter‑yellow moment for every mood. Not ready to go head‑to‑toe? Dip a toe in with a bag, shoe, or accessory that melts seamlessly into your everyday favourites. A Butter Yellow Dress A butter‑yellow dress — whether softly draped or crisp and voluminous — brightens any mood. Pair your favourite with everything from chunky sandals to kitten heels in warmer weather, or fresh sneakers in the colder months. In place of your beige, ivory, or grey top layers, opt for a buttery yellow jacket instead. Style over a white tee with jeans on the weekend or pair with tailored trousers for work — whatever your flavour, it's one of those 'the coat is the look' moments. Butter Yellow Cotton Poplin Butter‑yellow cotton‑poplin separates feel crisp, cool, and utterly refreshing — a coordinated look, yet easy to break up for endless outfit options. Wear an oversized shirt open over a cami and high‑waist jeans for weekend ease, or go for something that can peek out of your coat in winter. A Butter Yellow Sweater Winter calls for chunky knits, so why not make a brighter version your go‑to? Our faves range from a butter‑yellow cardigan to a collared pullover — cozy enough for chillier days, but also airy enough for warmer months — even when styled as a top. If you just want the cozy pop, drape your favourite over your shoulders atop a slip dress or tee for a street-style-inspired look. Butter Yellow Bottoms Butter‑yellow bottoms are here to brighten your favourite basics for low‑key, sweet style. Whether you choose a ruched midi or tailored trousers, we love them paired with simple pieces like a tee, tonal sweater, or easy tank. A Butter Yellow Top You don't have to colour‑drench to give butter yellow a try. Tops are like a fresh squeeze of sunshine — perfectly balanced by classic bottoms from tailored trousers to baggy jeans or slim skirts, or peeking through with some cute layering.

Shoulder bags and smaller top handles are the most versatile shapes to carry any day of the week. Butter Yellow Shoes Butter‑yellow shoes are the pick‑me‑up your feet have been craving, from flats to block and kitten‑heel silhouettes. Wear them with denim for casual cool, or team them with occasion wear, like a wedding guest dress, for a sweet burst of sunshine.

Carla Zampatti launches new look Fashion Week
The timeless elegance of Carla Zampatti seems a solid bet to begin Australian Fashion Week's new era. Not-for-profit peak body the Australian Fashion Council is running the event this year, having taken hold of the reins after long-time owners IMG pulled out in late 2024. Sydney's week of high style kicked off Monday night with the Zampatti opening runway show at the Museum of Contemporary Art forecourt by the harbour. The new collection marks 60 years since the Carla Zampatti label was founded in 1965. An icon of the Australian fashion scene, Zampatti died in 2021 at the age of 78. The brand returned to Fashion Week last year after a four-year break. Models walk the runway during the Carla Zampatti show, opening Australian Fashion Week. Photo:The Zampatti show is the first in a reduced schedule of runways, with the number of shows pared back by about a third on 2024. But there's been no reduction in ambition: the stated aim of the event is to reconfirm Australia as a global leader in fashion, creativity and innovation. That's against a backdrop of fast fashion and a cost-of-living crisis, when many designers choose to promote their collections via Instagram rather than expensive runway shows. Still, labels making a return to Fashion Week include not only Zampatti, but also Aje, Romance Was Born, Gary Bigeni and Iordanes Spyridon Gogos. During its two decades under IMG, the event shifted from targeting overseas buyers to attracting the general public, keen to see ready-to-wear collections available for instant purchase. That division between industry and the merely fashion-enthused is still evident, with industry delegates invited to shows, and fashion pass holders able to access a public area called The Studio instead. AFC Australian Fashion Week runs until Friday at Carriageworks in Redfern, Sydney.

‘You could feel her in the room': Carla Zampatti label returns to form
It's out with the new and in with the old as the Carla Zampatti label celebrated its 60th anniversary by opening Australian Fashion Week at Circular Quay in Sydney on Monday night. Behind the scenes at this year's annual industry event everything is different, with new operators the Australian Fashion Council and fewer big names on the schedule, but the spectacular runway show by Carla Zampatti was as comforting as one of the brand's signature black crepe gowns. 'Opening AFW is an honour that we don't take for granted,' says Alexander Schuman, Carla Zampatti chief executive, and son of the designer who died following a fall in April 2021. 'Mum was always altruistic towards the industry.' 'This collection is a bold statement of where we are, offering a contemporary DNA for the next generation of customers.' With a focus on separates and fresh blazer silhouettes alongside evening wear, it is deliberately not as bold as last year's fashion week presentation, where risque sheer pieces and plunging cuts had traditional customers clutching their Paspaley pearls. Loading Captains of industry, newsreaders and mothers of the bride who worship Zampatti as the patron saint of style can relax. 'The shift is a sign of the times because women have moved into a different space,' Schuman says. 'It's no longer all about the glamour of the gown. There's still sex appeal for the fashion-forward customer in their 30s, but we are thinking about the professional woman who is the mainstay of the brand.' Adding a layer of new to Carla Zampatti's aesthetic, so familiar that the collection is called Ubiquity, were dresses by designers including Christopher Esber, Akira Isogawa and Zampatti's daughter Bianca Spender. Rather than challenge customers, these pieces were designed for the Powerhouse Museum.
