Spring has well and truly arrived, and with the sun making its much-anticipated appearance, it's high time we turn our attention to refreshing our spring attire. Traditionally, spring fashion is all about reintroducing vibrant hues into our ensembles, and during reporter Emily Sleight's recent trip to some beloved high street retailers, she couldn't help but notice a recurring theme.

The 'butter yellow' trend is sweeping the style scene, already a hit among A-listers who've been donning this effortlessly chic tone on the red carpet. As an ardent admirer of this delightful shade, Emily believes it encapsulates the essence of spring.

She said: "With this in mind, I embarked on a fashion hunt at Marks & Spencer, Next and River Island, unearthing several items that promise to inject a dash of sunshine into your closet. Let's delve in.

"At Marks and Spencer, the Tailored Collarless Blazer, priced at £69, is proving to be a hot commodity, quickly disappearing from online stock and being snapped up in stores – and it's clear why. Its trendy hue has garnered acclaim from fashion influencers across the digital sphere."

The blazer's description on the Marks and Spencer website states: "Complete your weekday wardrobe with this smart blazer. Designed in a comfortable regular fit, it offers easy layering for work or beyond. The streamlined shape and single-button fastening ensure a sleek, modern silhouette M and S Collection: easy-to-wear wardrobe staples that combine classic and contemporary styles."

Marks and Spencer has unveiled a sartorial steal with this. The matching trousers cost £39.50, and the accompanying waistcoat is up for grabs at just £45.

For those anticipating breezier days, Marks and Spencer's Air-Yarn Ribbed Crew Neck Cardigan is a snip at £25, promising to be a staple in any spring wardrobe. The brand's website praises its versatility: "This understated cardigan is made from air-yarn material – an extra ultra-fine fabric that's simple to layer. It comes in a flattering slim fit, featuring a timeless crew neck and comfy long sleeves."

The description continues: "The all-over texture and ribbed trims give it a neat look, while added stretch in the material provides easy movement. It's finished with a refined button-through fastening. MandS Collection: easy-to-wear wardrobe staples that combine classic and contemporary styles."

Fashionistas will fall head over heels for River Island's latest must-have, the Yellow Boucle Pearl Vest, retailing at £32. A standout piece on the River Island website, this top boasts a boucle texture, elegant square neckline and is adorned with unique pearl embellishments.

With its peplum hem, it promises to flatter the tummy area—a perfect blend of style and comfort!

And not to be outdone, Next has thrown its hat into the style ring with its Yellow Raglan Short Sleeve Textured Top, a delightful steal at £18.

While this top is a bit more laid-back compared to the River Island option, it's an essential addition to your spring collection. Pair it with a chic pair of jeans or shorts for a relaxed yet fashionable outfit.

Emily sais: "The shade is a tad darker than pastel yellow, but I'm completely smitten with it."

On Next's website, the complete product description states: "Add some interest to your casual look, with this elevated short sleeve t-shirt. The top is made from a soft fabric blend with a crinkle textured feel, finished with a crewneck collar and raglan sleeves."
