How to dress: lemon yellow

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, they say. And the thing about lemon as a colour is that it cuts both ways, just like the fruit. It can be sharp and acidic, but it is also optimistic in a simple, powerful way. It is the colour of a child's picture of sunshine, drawn in bold strokes of waxy yellow crayon. It is very much a traditional pastel a Hallmark shade of daffodils and Easter chicks, rather than a Farrow & Ball-ish muted stormy grey but as a colour for women's clothing it is more challenging than pink, by virtue of its relative androgyny. It is, therefore, currently reigning supreme as the top pastel for the tribe of the Interestingly Dressed.
