Brighten Up Campaigns With Butter Yellow
The runway favorite is poised to trend at retail and in wholesale circles in the new year.
As economic and geopolitical uncertainty continue, a sunny, optimistic hue is making appearances on runways as a must-know trend for spring.
Butter Yellow is an attention-grabbing hue that’s easy to add to existing wardrobes.
Designers such as Bottega Veneta, Loewe, Louis Vuitton and Proenza Schouler all presented flowy, feminine dresses in Butter Yellow – and distributors can leverage the trend for campaigns in the first half of 2024.
W Magazine calls the color “a perfectly mellow dose of sunshine.” Kaitlyn Clapinski at The Everygirl says it’s a bright color that has staying power. “Trendy tones, such as Barbie pink, will inevitably come and go, whereas a pale yellow shade is everlasting no matter the season,” she writes. “Simply put, yellow is a no-fuss way to incorporate color that still fits into a capsule wardrobe.”
Here are a few items in related hues from industry suppliers and ideas for using them in upcoming campaigns.
