Runway Inspired Style: How to Wear Yellow


Think yellow's not your color? Rest assured, there's a sunny hue that's right for you, just use your skin tone as a guide. The most saturated hues are best left to tan skin or naturally dark with warm undertones, sunny yellow looks good on medium skin, and the palest yellows go best with cool skin tones. Whether you choose a hint of yellow on an accessory or go head-to-toe in the sunny hue, take inspiration from the runways to find your best look.
