Element Y



From canary to acid, bright and fun … now is the perfect time to sport a little sun

My fascination for yellow started off this summer with a pair of Inc 5 sandals I picked up. Yellow has never been a favourite colour so what actually drew me to the sandals was the sturdy block heel that’s both super stylish and equally comfortable (despite being almost 5 inch) to walk in. But it’s a wonder how these sandals manage to energise just about any look. The sandals resulted in a fashion resolution. I realized the right shades of yellow (No, not CSK tee shirts. I am not even going there) when complimented rightly by other colours are great to work around especially in summer.

The predominant tone of yellow this year is acid and neon which makes
it even more important to balance out the visual effect with neutrals.

Yellow + Black =Taxi
Yellow + Soft Grey= Chilled out

Shade card
Olive tones- Go crazy. Sport the most incandescent shades from the color palette.
Fair skin- To avoid looking pale try less vibrating variations of yellow
Dusky- Perfect in small doses. Accessorise or layer with white

Accessories are the best way to incorporate this shocking shade into your wardrobe. Try a sports watch or shoe laces on white shoes or layer with dark grey.
