Monochrome Monday: The Sunshine Edition

Few colors command cross-cultural appeal like yellow, and in fashion, Pantone’s ‘Sunshine’ is its boldest, brightest ambassador. Sitting between extravagance and electric energy, this striking shade has a dramatic history—once a symbol of excess, then revolution, and now, effortless cool.

For centuries, yellow was reserved for royalty, from Imperial China to Renaissance Europe. By the 1960s, it took on a rebellious edge—think Twiggy’s mod minis and Brigitte Bardot’s breezy summer whites. The ’90s gave it a grungier twist with mustard sweaters, slip dresses, and Clueless-era plaid. Today, ‘Sunshine’ is back on high-fashion runways, lighting up collections from Bottega Veneta to Jacquemus, proving its timeless appeal.

This Monochrome Monday, we’re embracing Sunshine in all its forms—whether through a sleek silhouette, a flowing kaftan, or a statement accessory that instantly lifts a look. Because if fashion has taught us anything, it’s that a little yellow goes a long way.
