What color comes to mind when we talk about summer? Associated with sun and warm weather, it’s not uncommon to see yellow everywhere during the warmer times of year.
In fact, it was yellow, albeit lighter shades, that we saw on Celine , Alexandre Vauthier and Miu Miu runways and on fashionistas’ outfits. Pale and pastel yellow, including vanilla yellow, have taken over—and you’re going to love this trend. Here are a few selections to inspire you to bring it into your closet.

Pastel colors create an excellent diffuse effect, as can be seen with this spectacular translucent look by blogger Leonie Hanne . Although the color is very subtle, it does not go unnoticed.
