  • The mustard colour trend has been in fashion for years and never goes out of style!

Some may look at wearing a statement mustard coloured dress as high risk, but we think it’s actually high reward!

As a fashion statement

A bright statement colour promises to draw in the eye and can be a great conversational starter when wanting to make a good first impression. Consider mustard for a first date or special occasion you have been looking forward to for a long time. If you opt for a solid coloured dress, you can always balance the look by pairing with neutral coloured shoes and accessories.

A small pop of colour

If a strong fashion statement is not quite your cup of tea, or you’d like something a little bit more toned down for everyday orworkwear, then you can also choose to incorporate the trend through the use of accessories such as a tailored belt or ballet flat. This is a great way to elevate your outfit if you feel it is looking a bit plain and needs to be brought to life!

A patterned look

If wearing solid yellow is not your style, then you can always opt for a beautiful colour mix as a fun way to give a nod to the trend but stay true to your own personal style. Whether its spot, stripes or florals, mustard is make a lovely complimentary colour in many colour palettes.
