Yellow Dresses-Yellow the Main Colour For 2009 By Jackie De Burca At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Yellow has been hailed as the main colour of 2009, although it is followed closely by other important colours.

Following Michelle Obama who has quickly earnt herself a good fashion reputation, she was seen wearing a yellow shade delicately for the inauguration ceremony on 21st January 2009. She wore a lemongrass wool coat with a matching dress of wool guipure lace, with softly playful hues of yellow.

Yellow is the colour of optimism and new beginnings. Never underestimate the power of colours and the clothes that we choose to wear.

Yellow can make you feel open to new ideas, while making you feel confident and happy. It is a great colour to wear when learning or trying to absorb new information. It makes you feel warm and alert.

This colour injects a new energy into fashion this year, and comes in yellow dawn glow shades, buttercup golds and citrine yellows.

The Pantone selected shade of yellow is Mimosa Yellow (14-0848). It is a warm, golden shade of yellow that suits most skin tones.

It's a great colour after a long and dreary winter, to dress up as bright as sunshine.

Yellow is being combined with geometric shapes and metallic shades for this seasons' hottest looks. Celebrities such as Kerry Washington, Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton have been seen wearing the sunshine look. Jennifer was photographed in spring leaving a Miami hair salon with a lemon yellow frock.

Some people look at yellow when it is on the rack and feel a bit like "Could I wear it and carry it off?"

You can always try to ease your way into yellow by wearing it combined with other colours. There are some fab dresses with yellow matched with other colours, or step gently into yellow to begin with only accessories.

One thing is for sure, it's almost impossible to wear yellow and sulk! Once you put on yellow you have to be in a good mood, it's unavoidable.

There are some shades of yellow that are more suited to certain skin tones. A buttery yellow dress will look great on someone with a medium tan for example. But regardless of shade teamed with right accessories yellow can look good on most people.

Even though its quite a few years ago, an example of this would be when Cate Blanchett was voted the best-dressed at the 2005 Oscars. She wore a pale yellow Valentino gown which was an exact match to her hair colour, but added a crimson sash and bright lips for the wow factor.

Canary yellow is a colour that actually looks great on everyone. You can wear this matched with white stripes or print, or go for a bold solid yellow. Match solid canary yellow with white accessories, chunky necklaces and bracelets, white bags and shoes or sandals.

Yellow with silver shot through it is also a wonderful option, and especially good for showing off a tan.
Another shade of yellow is marigold which is a darker shade of golden yellow, with autumn hues. Marigold is a colour to be careful of with paler skins, tone it down with accessories for balance and fashion success.

As with any fashion shopping, be realistic about the shades that suit and enhance your features. Choose accessories for effect, and feel happy to wear yellow.
