As spring approaches, the bright colors are gradually seeping their way into the style scene and sure, we’re all here for it! While it’s true that the fall and winter seasons aren’t completely void of color, there’s no denying that the incoming season has bright tones on lockdown. One easy way to bring the color party is with a yellow dress that’s fun and stylish.

When thinking of how to style a yellow dress, it’s easy to get overwhelmed because of the imposing hue but it’s not at all difficult. The key is to keep your particular shade of yellow in mind and then work from there. For instance, mustard yellow is softer than canary yellow, giving it the freedom to work into a plethora of other tones. But that doesn’t mean the latter is impossible to style.

If you’re seeking to go bright in a shade like canary yellow, then there are some ways to go about it. In one instance, you can go full monochrome with different shades of yellow. Otherwise, rock with neutral tones like white, grey, black, and brown. Perhaps, if you’re feeling extra daring, then play with other bright colors like blue, green, or red for an interesting result.

Here’s how to style a yellow dress for any occasion…

The hot mini

This spring, if you’re heading to the club with the girls, don a mini yellow dress that’ll keep the spotlight on you. Bring more sizzle with a cut-out number that shows a tad bit more skin so you don’t look desperate. Come spring, the club’s gonna feel your heat!

One-sided off-shoulder dress

This is a versatile dress that can be worn with the shoulders in place or worn just like above to show off a shoulder without revealing too much. This is a great style for those who want to exhibit their shoulders and arms but don’t want the commitment of a strapless look. When paired with chic heels and a cute purse, you can wear this for a casual event like grabbing lunch or a bridal shower.

Shoulder-padded high-slit dress

This shoulder-padded high-slit number is great for a high-brow party. For instance, a luxury product launch is one place this dress will shine, especially when you’ll have to move from place to place to appreciate the products on display. Up the edge by pairing with thigh-high boots as Leonie Hanne has done above.

The airy sundress

Light and airy, a sundress is one that you can dress up or down with sneakers, a pair of barely-there heels, or thong sandals. But the combination with flats is just perfect for running around or going shopping on a warm spring day. Most girls will agree that this dress is a must-have. On cooler days, throw on a jacket or layer with a sweater.

The voluminous maxi

The dress provides a feminine look that’s comfortable and stylish and boasts a good dose of rich auntie vibes. You can wear this for a wedding anniversary party with a more formal clutch. Go full-on fancy with a statement necklace, stacked rings, and cute hair adornment. Take a cue from Jenee and rock with a green bag to play up the color party.

Long-sleeve mini dress

In the mini long-sleeve dress, you’ll definitely make a statement when you step out. What makes this number even more irresistible is that it isn’t overly sexy. Slip into this when you’re bent on stealing attention as a wedding guest.

Strapless embellished dress

The perfect way to style a yellow dress, especially for a formal event, is to show off those gorgeous shoulders gracefully. The dress is one that relies on your body’s contour to keep up. The embellishments and overall details add a sense of sophisticated elegance to it.

This could be worn by a bride as a reception dress, for an award event like the Oscars, or by any Style Raven who has just been invited to a high-class dinner. Cheers! – champagne glasses clinking*
