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.

I still dream about the day I got to wear this dress. You too can be lucky enough to wear something just as whimsical.
Shop:
Bold and bright puffers aren't going anywhere. My Instagram feed is covered with them. You won't regret adding a yellow one to your collection.
Shop:
The ultra-feminine gal is going to be loving an opportunity to wear this color. If that's you, you're welcome.
Shop:
Go back to the basics and try wearing just yellow. It will never disappoint.
Shop:
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.

Now it's time to really get your yellow on…
