    Many would say yellow during the summer is a no brainer. The color itself is associated with so many positive things that the warm weather brings... the sun, lightness, fun, happiness and not to forget, the smiley face. So it comes as no surprise that this color has been a major staple this season. It's a very easy and uncomplicated color to wear and almost everyone can get away with wearing the right shade. Below are some favorite summer yellow looks that make us feel all bright and shiny...

    Style Tip: Avoid looking like Big Bird by keeping things simple when it comes to this color. You can definitely take a risk and play with certain styles and get away with it but for most, we'd say - no frills, definitely no feathers and no complicated twists. Just a simple structured or streamlined look....well unless you're Rihanna (see below).
