Rather than Butter Yellow, the most stylish dressers are opting for this trending shade for spring.
I track trends professionally, and I can confidently say that the color palette for this spring is looking exceptionally stylish. While butter yellow and baby blue remain popular, there's a fresher and more vibrant shade emerging this season. Building on the red trend that has gained traction in recent years, this spring introduces a sunnier, more lively version—a vibrant tomato red with a hint of orange. I noticed this color in action this week on Alexa Chung, who styled a knee-length, single-breasted jacket with a sleek, form-fitting silhouette. Paired simply with jeans and ballet flats, her look appeared polished and effortless, without being dull.
This vivacious pop of color is already making its way into some of the most fashionable spring outfits and is quickly becoming the preferred choice for making a statement. While it is certainly bold, it remains easy to wear. It looks timelessly elegant with black and white but truly shines when combined with unexpected hues—think rich browns, soft blues, or even buttery yellows.
Unlike darker reds with cooler, blue undertones, this version is warm and bright, offering a lightness and energy that feel perfectly suited for the upcoming season.
Personally, I plan to take inspiration from Alexa Chung and incorporate it as an accent statement. However, I've also found several beautifully tailored tomato-red dresses that highlight how impactful the shade can be when worn as an entire outfit. Read on to explore and shop the tomato red color trend below.
