I did feel warmer, like I was adding a tiny ray of sunshine to my own winter weather! Now I’m a devotee of her trend, and I’m always on the lookout for a yellow coat or sweater or pair of boots. Here are 8 ways to wear yellow this winter… give it a go!

No matter what you have planned during the workday, this cardigan can handle it all with grace and brilliance. Status meeting? Layer over a white blouse with grey flannel pin-stripe trousers and strands of necklaces. Client luncheon? Wear a floral-print frock, ankle booties, and layer this cardi on top. I love the sweet pleats along the neckline, and the longer-than-average length…

If I didn’t already have a yellow winter coat, this would be on my must-have list. As it is, I can still recommend it to someone else, a fellow yellow fashionista. It’s fully lined and features a hood and pockets on each side… what a brilliant way to add a spot of sunshine to even the chilliest winter day!

What a soft shade of yellow! The dolman sleeves are elegant, the deep vee neck is flattering, the self-tie is versatile, and the length is demure and ladylike. Pair with patterned tights, lace-up ankle booties, and a soft, sweet cardi to complete the look. So lovely!
