Katie Holmes Left White Pants in the Dust for This Pretty Color Trend

As random as it may seem, celebrities love wearing white pants in the winter. You have to admit that it looks fresh and cool amid a sea of dark colors. Katie Holmes is one celeb who certainly plays around with pant color trends, and she just wore one that signals she's ready for spring.
The other day in midtown NYC, Holmes was photographed in not white pants, but a white-adjacent pair that's even prettier: pale yellow pants (or butter yellow, as the fashion folks say). While indeed a color trend this season, butter yellow has been a bit more under the radar than some other color trends, but with spring slowly inching closer, I predict it'll only grow in popularity from here. And as Holmes just displayed, a pair of yellow pants is a great way to embrace it.
So how to wear the trend, you ask? Butter yellow is a fairly versatile color, so just try swapping it for white or camel pants, or even black ones. Holmes wore hers with a black coat, pale-green sweater, and white sneakers, and she looks perfectly put-together if you ask me. With that, keep scrolling to shop some of the best yellow pants I've come across this season.
