If summer had a color, it would be butter yellow. There’s something about this shade—it’s light without feeling precious, mellow yet mood-boosting. I’ll admit that I was initially wary of the shade, fearing it was too soft for someone who gravitates towards more in-your-face color. I tip-toed my way in via Reformation’s linen mini (aka the easiest summer dress ever) followed by a cashmere tee from Guest in Residence. I quickly learned that this hue packs more punch than your typical pastel—and bonus, it’s surprisingly flattering. No more baby-stepping around the color. As you can see, I’ve gone all in with a full head-to-toe look, courtesy of Veronica Beard’s straight-leg denim and cotton tank. 

Below, I’ve pulled together the key pieces (plus extras) from Saks to recreate your own butter yellow look—from standout denim to buttery accessories and more.
