The color is easy to dress up or down. (Nordstrom)
Every season brings a new fashion trend, from last fall's slouchy handbags to winter's Martha Stewart-approved metallic pants. While pastels for spring are nothing new, this year is all about butter yellow — a soft and sunny shade that adds a touch of color to your wardrobe without being overbearing. Think of it as the new neutral! The hue has been spotted on celebs from Katie Holmes and Kendall Jenner to Goldie Hawn, and now you can copy the chic look with your own yellow pieces from Nordstrom.
We spotted everything from casual button-down blouses and Adidas sneakers to cotton maxi dresses and Tory Burch bags, all in 2025's hottest color. Create monochromatic looks with butter yellow pants and tops, or add a more subtle pop of color with an accessory (yellow sunglasses, anyone?). Read on for some of our favorite ways to wear spring's most popular shade.
I'm obsessed with these raffia Sam Edelman sandals — don't they just scream summer? The scalloped edges and oversized buckle give them a fashion-forward vibe, while the cushioned insole makes them comfy enough to walk in.
And bonus: The sandals come in butter yellow — this season's hottest color trend.
A good quality cotton maxi dress is essential to any closet. Luckily, this one also comes in a super light yellow. Wear it on its own with sandals or add a denim jacket and a pair of sneakers to keep things uber casual.
The frock has a breezy, flattering A-line skirt and a subtle seam down the front to keep things interesting. One five-star reviewer said that the "fabric is soft and thick enough that it drapes nicely and is 'forgiving.'"
A cardigan is an essential piece to have in your arsenal for transitional weather. It's easy to layer and you can dress it up or down. So why not get one in spring's hottest hue? This butter yellow sweater has an easy, boxy fit and tortoiseshell buttons that make it a casual weekend must-have.
Everyone's favorite Adidas Gazelle sneakers come in the popular yellow hue — and with fun pink stripes! They're cute, comfy and are a great pop of color if you own mostly neutral basics.
Shoppers love them too, although they recommend ordering at least a half size down from your regular size because they run big. "They're lightweight, go with everything and I can wear them all day, often getting in over 12,000 steps a day," shared a fan.
Pop on this French terry cotton sweatshirt during your next workout or wear it with a pair of jeans for a laid-back look. Its crewneck and perfectly boxy fit will make you reach for this classic style again and again.
Psst! Zella also makes a matching tank top and skirt if you want a whole butter yellow outfit.
Bring the drama with this pair of sunglasses that has slightly oversized, winged frames. They're a sheer yellow, so don't worry, you won't look like Elton John (unless that's what you're going for, then pair these with any sequin top).
They're a little vintage-looking, totally glam and, surprisingly, go with anything. "They make everything look just that much more chic and elegant. I immediately got compliments," shared a thrilled buyer.
Summer temps are here to stay for a while longer, so don't sleep on adding some sleek dresses to your wardrobe. Swift is no stranger to Reformation's stylish frocks, and this linen mini is available in every size at Nordstrom.
If you're not keen on showing so much skin, don't hesitate to wear a classic white tee underneath this dress, or pair it with biker shorts to give your legs some extra coverage.
If you don't like to wear a lot of color, a small accessory may be an easier way to incorporate soft yellow into your wardrobe. Our pick: This Tory Burch crossbody bag that fits all of the essentials — wallet, phone, keys and lipstick. The zip-around closure keeps everything safe, while the fabric strap makes it comfy to wear.
If you're going somewhere and need to dress up, try this satin mini dress from French Connection. It has a cowl neck, a flirty flared skirt and an asymmetrical seam.
The color and fabric remind us of the dress Kate Hudson wore in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Pair it with heels or sandals and "frost yourself" with jewels for a night on the town.
Wide leg pants are everywhere — get a pair in butter yellow to wear with white T-shirts, blouses, loose-knit sweaters and more. This twill pair is ankle length on most people (it has a 27-inch inseam) and offers plenty of stretch.
They're a great alternative to jeans if you're looking for something casual. Hey, sometimes you gotta switch things up!
No rich mom wardrobe is complete without a breezy linen button-up. This oversized, relaxed blouse is made of 100% cotton, making it the ideal piece for wistfully gazing out to sea with a glass of red.
"I have this shirt in multiple sizes and colors," revealed a fan. "Super comfortable and great for layering over tank tops for a very laidback look. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy more!"
Trust us: This pretty linen maxi dress will be in your closet for years to come. It has a gorgeous flowing skirt, fitted bodice (with shirring on the back for comfort) and pockets (yes, pockets!). The princess seams only add to its sophistication. It also comes in white, but if you want to wear it to a wedding this spring, get it in yellow.
One shopper shared: "This dress is beautiful. I purchased it for a wedding and to rewear as a birthday dress. The top fits nicely and the skirt is very full. This is the best dress purchase I've made in years."
