Yellow has been a popular fashion color for the past few seasons and a perennial favorite for the warmer months. While the color is seen as cheery, upbeat, and the definition of a hot summer day, yellow can still be a killer winter shade. In fact, adding a pop of sunny yellow to your winter wardrobe might be just what you need to get through the rest of the chilly season.

Let’s take a look at a few options and how you can brighten up your life by wearing yellow in winter!

Cozy and Sweet Sweater

With just three pieces of clothing that you might already have in your closet, this yellow look will brighten up anyone’s day! With a classic pair of white jeans to draw an even bigger focus to the color and texture of the sweater, this look is comfortable, versatile, and winter-ready. (Yes, you can wear white jeans in winter!!)

To recreate this look, take your white skinny jeans and pair them with a black boot. Whether the boot is heeled or flat, tall or cropped, zip-up or pull-on, any black boot will work with this look. Of course, the bold sweater is the key to this ensemble, and finding one in a bold and bright shade of yellow is easy to do. I like this sweater because of the cropped wrist hem and the neckline, which I find to be flattering in sweaters. This look could be worn to class, a meeting, or a fun winter dinner party.

Cher Confidence

In this Cher Horowitz-inspired look, we found a top and bottom set in a bumblebee yellow plaid pattern, and talk about a confidence boost! This mock-suit is fashionable and chic, with side buttons and a large blazer. With plaid shades of green thrown into the mix, this eccentric look is the perfect set for getting through the boring and drab days of winter.
