Butter yellow is the colour to chase this summer—seen on everyone from Timothée Chalamet to Lauryn Hill. Meanwhile, sportswear chic is far from over

Fashion is an ever-changing game, and it’s no easy task to stay ahead every single time. But fret not; Tatler has got you covered with our monthly lookbook, which gives you a thematic selection of season-specific looks curated from tip to toe.

All eyes have been on the season’s standout items, with actor Timothée Chalamet sparking a butter yellow craze in his Givenchy suit at the Oscars. Since then, the shade has firmly claimed its spot as the colour of the season. Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the fashion spectrum, sportswear and accessories are enjoying a stylish resurgence. If you thought the trend had waved goodbye at the Olympic closing ceremony, think again—it never left. This revival is marked by bold collaborations like Acne Studios x Kappa and the launch of Celine Fitness, proving you can stay fit without compromising on style.

Butter yellow is everywhere right now. It’s been doing the rounds on the red carpet, from actor Timothée Chalamet’s Oscars look to singer Lauren Hill’s debut at the Met Gala last month. The shade’s soft but sharp, and that’s exactly the point. This summer, be inspired by the butter-yellow suiting with a preppy twist at Brandon Maxwell or a floaty Genny dress made for city.

Let loose for the summer and embrace the ease and comfort of wide-legged trousers. Easy and breezy doesn’t mean underdressed, though—we’ll be wearing this pair from Awake Mode with a high-shine, apple-green top from Oscar de la Renta for a look that’s as suited to weekday coffee meetings as weekend cocktails.

We may be between Olympic years, but that doesn’t make athleisure any less desirable. From Balenciaga’s collaboration with Under Armour to Gucci and Fendi’s own takes on the trend, athletic wear is stepping off the track and onto the runway, making a fashion statement all its own. Whether it’s sleek sneakers or luxe tracksuits, sporty chic is proving it’s got legs in the world of high fashion.
