For the latest color trend this summer, just look up in the sky on a clear day….but not for too long. Sunny yellows are everywhere and here’s how they can work for you.

It really comes down to the shade of yellow that goes best with your skin tone. Unless, of course, you’ve got a nice tan, then you can wear whatever you want. From canary to marigold, you just have to try out the shades and find the one that works best.

And who says you have to wear head-to-toe yellow? There are so many ways to incorporate this trend into your summer wardrobe. From shoes to bags, yellow accessories are an easy risk-free way to brighten up your style. Even if you’re a jeans-and-t-shirt kind of girl, throwing on a pair of yellow flats will keep you on trend and add an easy kick to your outfit.

And then there are prints. Floral prints are especially popular this summer and they usually contain anywhere from a little to a lot of yellow! A great place to find the perfect yellow piece is at Forever 21. Just be choosy. This trendy retailer will have a lot to choose from, but not all of it will be good. Because trends come and go quickly, find an item you can see yourself wearing for years to come. And have fun! After all, yellow is sunny and bright!
