I'm Calling It: This Color Is Guaranteed to Have a Big Moment in 2022

Of course, I stalked my co-worker's Instagram accounts to find out the next big color trend. I mean, they're just so stylish and they always answer my Slacks asking, "Where did you get that?" One common theme I've noticed amongst their Instagram feeds lately is a love for the color yellow.

I've had many friends say they stay away from the golden shade claiming it doesn't flatter their skin tone or that they prefer neutrals. Well, take a scroll below and you'll notice my team, which is quite the diverse crowd, wearing the color—even our die-hard minimalists! The key is choosing the best shade to complement your skin tone. I personally suggest deeper yellow if you have warm undertones or fairer skin and vice versa if you're the opposite (although you should always wear whatever you like the most).

We'll be wearing this color—especially in spring-summer—in every shade it arrives in this year. Scroll on to see how this team of fashion editors is rocking the color yellow.

This photo was all I needed to see to know that yellow is back. No color looks better poolside, especially when paired with a striking blue.

An updated take on the classic tee is always a good idea. Padded or puffed shoulders will certainly be one of the best ways to wear yellow this year.

Sporty spice would be proud of this look. Athleisure is such a fun way to bring more color into your wardrobe, so make sure you try out a bright yellow color.

Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, trying the latest fitness craze in New York City, or exploring luxury vintage boutiques.
