I'm determined to build the perfect warm-weather wardrobe as we inch closer to summer weather. That means I’m shopping for a few pieces in my favorite trendy spring color: butter yellow. Luckily for me, Zara and H&M both have a ton of picks in the shade that span clothes and new shoe color trends.
Butter yellow is a must-have because it’s the perfect replacement for the white T-shirts and tank tops in your collection. The creamy hue adds an elegant touch to any of your outfits since it's not as vibrant as other pastels like lavender or pale pink. Just look at style stars like Katie Holmes, Beyoncé, and Jennifer Lawrence to see its appeal—all three have already endorsed the shade, confirming its cult-famous status.
Keeping this in mind, I spent some time browsing the new arrivals at H&M and Zara to curate a selection of must-have pieces. My discoveries include boho-inspired tops, stylish wide-leg jeans, and chic spring jackets. Nothing on this list costs more than $150, allowing you to stock up without breaking the bank.
