Mellow Yellow

Here comes the sun! Though it may not be outside, it’s shining bright on children’s fashions this fall. Instead of the lemony hues found on Michael Kors and Delpozo’s Spring ’15 catwalks, childrenswear designers are deepening the shade, begetting a richer version that skews closer to jewel tones than pretty pastels—perfect for punching up back-to-school offerings. After all, marigold lends sweet styles a scholarly sophistication when mixed with dark browns and soft grays. Plus, it looks lush on knits like cardigans and scarves and makes a bold statement on accessories ranging from caps to carryalls. Rain or shine, these vibrant finds should keep little ones beaming bright.
