Subtle, elegant, and soft, butter yellow is emerging as the standout color of 2025.
But don’t be fooled — while it may feel fresh, this hue has a rich history. Many vintage pieces already feature this charming shade, especially at the iconic boutique La Mode Vintage, located at 12 Rue de Rochebrune in the 11e area of Paris.
While modern brands like Jacquemus or Miu Miu have recently brought butter yellow to the forefront of the fashion scene, this trend is far from a novelty. The true pioneers, the ones who, as we say, had the vision, embraced it long before it made its comeback under the spotlight. Think of Burberry in the 1970s, with its buttery-toned trenches and skirt, Jean Paul Gaultier’s bold yet soft Junior line, or Hermès, a house that has always mastered the art of timeless elegance with warm, sun-kissed palettes.
These vintage pieces weren’t just ahead of their time they’re still remarkably relevant. More than charming relics, they continue to inspire today’s designers and will undoubtedly shape the creative visions of tomorrow. In an era when fashion is increasingly about sustainability and meaning, these vintage tones remind us that elegance and timelessness often walk hand in hand.
