As you can see, I’m obsessed with the color yellow now. It’s so endearing and uplifting, universally flattering and incredibly versatile. It’s also a color that is ageless and seasonless.

There are so many ways to play with it. Start with shapes, you can find flirty peplum, dramatic ball gown, sexy bodycon or sleek sheath from the top picks featured below.

This buoyant color also adds its own spin to our favorite materials: It infuses youthful exuberance to delicate silk, livens up the mature jacquard or tweed, tones down the sexiness of lace

Either wear it as a pop of color to your monochrome ensemble for a chic daytime look or team it with other primary colors or metallic accents for a glamorous evening look, have fun experimenting with your yellow pieces!

As the temperature rises, dressing appropriately for work yet staying cool can be challenging. Today’s featured looks from tasteful and elegant Olivia Palermo can tell us how:

Choose office-friendly pieces with fresh, seasonal colors and airy breezy fabric: like the crisp white button-down shirt, light-weight trench coat, linen bermuda shorts and silk top seen on Palermo.

Show your fashion taste through details: a structured bag in python print, a nude sandal with right-in cut-out design, or an elegant thin belt in metallic hue.

Transform your look from office to evening out simply by changing accessories: add a statement chain necklace, or a bold gold cuff (maybe two, one on each arm), fabulous sunglasses or even just bright colored nails
