Soft, luminous and subtly retro, butter yellow is the fashion trend for spring-summer 2025. Seen on the catwalks of the most influential fashion shows, from Jacquemus to Chloé, this pastel hue stands out for its natural elegance and timelessness.

It's a hue that structures without weighing down, ideal for streamlined suits, monochromatic ensembles or tone-on-tone textures. More than a trend, butter yellow in 2025 embodies a real change of tone in women's fashion: calm refinement, all subtlety.
