If you like to shop, there's a good chance you've seen butter yellow tops, dresses and more popping up in all your favorite stores. The pastel hue is the color of the season! However, Martha Stewart — a woman who's not afraid to try something new — recently stepped out for an event promoting her Emmy-nominated Netflix documentary wearing a full yellow outfit. She wore wide-leg pants with a matching blouse, both by Libertine. But instead of butter yellow, she opted for a sunnier, canary-like shade that felt cheery, yet elegant and chic.

Often referred to as Gen Z yellow, the shade is bright, bold and grabs your attention. Unlike butter yellow, it's meant to stand out. With that in mind, it makes sense why Stewart chose to wear it. The celeb is known for wearing metallic leather pants, sparkly sneakers, and all kinds of sequins whenever she steps off her upstate New York farm. This sunny yellow is like her lighter, summer version of that, and she's still making a fashion statement.
However, one misconception we need to point out is that yes, everyone can wear yellow and look good wearing it. Which shade you choose is obviously your preference, but don't be afraid to give it a try. If you feel inspired to wear more bright yellow, we've rounded up 11 styles to help you start.
Psst! If you want to take any of these looks to the next level, be like Martha and pair them with her signature gold platform heels.
Scoop up Anthropologie's top-selling Somerset dress in bright Pineapple yellow. This cotton version of the dress has a shirt-like top with a collar at the neck, a smocked waist that comfortably cinches you in and a full A-line skirt. The pullover style is as comfortable as it is fashionable, too.
While we're advocating for the dress in this happy yellow hue, be forewarned: The cut is so flattering, you might become a Somerset dress addict — like one of our editors' moms.
If you're someone who wears jeans outside, but immediately takes them off to put on something comfier once you get home, these might be your new favorites. Why? They're made with a soft, stretchy denim; they have a mid-rise that's not overly restricting and the wide leg makes them feel almost like wearing sweats.
While Gap offers these magical pants in a plethora of colors, the Straw Yellow are a fun pick for the season (and they're discounted, down to $35).
If you're looking for a light, beachy sweater for summer, make it this one. The textured cotton knit is giving breezy Nantucket vibes, especially if you pair it with linen pants or shorts. The oversized ribbed hem, cuffs and neckline help keep it casual, but you could dress it up for dinner with nice sandals, jewelry and wide-leg pants.
Consider this cropped button-down shirt the Swiss army knife of your closet. You can dress it up with linen trousers and heels, dress it down with jeans or wear it open over a swimsuit with shorts — it can do a lot. It's not a solid yellow either, there are white stripes with white buttoms to give it a little more dimension.
One thing Gap does really well is denim — from jeans and jackets to, yes, denim dresses. This denim shift has a little extra flair with a line of rivet buttons. It comes in a standard denim blue color, white and a sunny yellow that's right on trend for summer. It also comes in regular, tall and petite sizes so you can find your perfect length.
Anthropologie's beaded handbags are top-sellers every year, and this yellow one has an intricate, geometric design that will surely earn you all the compliments. It also has a magnetic closure and room for your phone, wallet, keys, favorite lip gloss and a little more.
This maxi dress is flowy, a little frilly and totally fashion-forward in this yellow hue. It's made with 100% cotton gauze and has a princess-like empire waist with ruffles at the shoulders and a tiered skirt. The pull-on style is exactly what you want to wear to dine al fresco by the beach, on a European vacation or to simply grab lunch with your family one weekend.
You'll wear this yellow linen halter top more than you think! Pair it with shorts (like the model), tucked into the jeans, with a skirt, with a pair of linen pants — you get the gist. Sometimes, you need more than a T-shirt to jazz up your look, and this top is the answer for any day or night event.
If you're looking for something to wear on the first sweltering hot day of the season, these shorts are a solid pick. They have an elastic waist (comfy), four-way stretch (also comfy) and moisture-wicking fabric (which will keep you comfy). So, yeah, these shorts are pretty comfortable. However, we also like the textured fabric, because it doesn't wrinkle much, which also makes these great for packing in a suitcase if you're going somewhere this summer.
Pair it with the matching textured top for an easy, effortless look.
These stylish and sporty exercise dresses have a built-in shorts liner, removable pads at the bust and hidden side pockets. But maybe best of all, they have the brand's sculptLUX fabric that's designed to hold you in with just enough compression that it feels supportive, not restrictive. Of course, you can wear it to play a round of pickleball, but you can also wear this made-to-sweat-in dress on any summer day with sneakers or sandals.
Get dolled up in this stunner, whether you're headed to a summer wedding or just love an excuse to dress up now and then. The long shift dress has two subtle keyhole cut-outs at the chest for a little extra flair and the dramatic plunging back has a little bit of edge with the top strap — keeping it from feeling too prissy.
