Monochrome Monday: The Buttercup Edition

Like bottled up sunshine, Buttercup is having a moment across MENA fashion and accessories brands. This cheerful shade, a touch brighter than its namesake flower, is blooming across the fashion scene. From the flowing couture dresses that grace the runways, to adding a pop of sunshine to edgy sunglasses and trendy bags, Buttercup is adding a touch of sunny optimism to wardrobes. We’re about to explore how this vibrant hue is taking root in styles around the region…
