Mustard Yellow Trend Spring 2012: Elizabeth & James Sydney Silk Blouse & more shopping the trend!

There has been so much talk of the yellow trend that by now it should be firmly on your radar for the new season - but what do you do if neon yellow isn't your best shade? Sure you can accessorize with splashes of yellow in your outfit, but it IS a tough colour to pull off on its own. And that's exactly where mustard yellow comes in - slightly lower on the brightness scale, it is a very flattering shade on brunettes and blondes alike.

The styles to look for follow the same rules as other colour trends - minimalist and chic, the colour block trend, and a suite of fabulous shoes and handbags that will brighten up your look. For the office, just add a mustard handbag to your favourite black & white ensemble, or wear this simple silk blouse by Elizabeth & James will black (or navy) trousers.

For weekends and evenings, rag & bone's skinny capri jean is a great look with a sparkling white top (or casual white tee during the day!) - it might be the only mustard item you need to complete your wardrobe. The focus in the fashion press may be on neon yellow, but mustard yellow might actually be easier to incorporate into your new season look - it really is a flattering shade on so many people!
