Gen Z Yellow: What It Is & 26 Fresh Ways to Wear It

Why Is Gen Z Yellow Trending?

Well, let’s first take a look at how long this color has been around… It turns out Man Repeller is largely credited with being the first to write about it – back in August 2017. In fact, we’ve loved this color for a while now. At the risk of tooting our own horn, we’d like to point out that we first started pushing this golden yellow way back in March 2017.

Furthermore, as you may recall, we launched a new feature this month where we pick a color and word in focus for the month. September’s focus is on both the color yellow and the word happiness.

And that leads into this brief diatribe on why I personally think Gen Z yellow is trending now… 

Why is Gen Z yellow trending?

Simply put, we could all use a jolt of happiness in our lives these days.

It’s easy to look around these days and feel as if the world is going to hell in a hand basket. Seemingly, chaos and uncertainty surround us right now. So, while this yellow shade has been percolating in the background for a while, I believe it is now emerging in full force as a visual counter punch to the figurative gray skies that envelop the times in which we live.

Optimism is critical to our mood, health, relationships, and overall well-being. So, why not boldly bring in the color that most represents that? When you wear the color yellow you can’t help but smile. As cheesy as it may sound, it’s true! And it’ll bring about a sense of merriment to those you come in contact with.

With all that being said, keep on reading for 26 ways to wear yellow along with some of our favorite pieces you can shop right now!
