Spring / Summer 2021 Colour Trends: Buttercream

“Smooth Buttercream is an easy and effortless delicious off-white“.

This is a white tending to yellow, a color that, unlike optical white, has an inherent softness:
it blends beautifully with pastel tones, inspiring a romantic and chic air, reaching the height of its potential when paired with black leather accessories.

Buttercream in the spring 2021 ready-to-wear collections

The Anna Sui spring/summer 2021 collection showed a lot of softness and serenity and closed with a series of dresses with a retro flavor in creamy white.

Paco Rabanne presented a cream dress with lace work on the profile of the skirt and bodice. The result? A romantic outfit made bold by the combination with black leather boots.

Ports 1961 proposed in the spring/summer 2021 collection a butter-colored dress with soft and sensual lines for a balanced elegance that shuns excess, to be worn with strictly black slave sandals.

Gabriela Hearst used buttery white for a loose-fitting overcoat and dress, creating simple looks but with refined details in the stitching.

Valentino in his spring / summer 2021 collection has proposed a complete jacket and bermuda in the shade “buttercream” to be worn with an orange maxi-bag with studs and sandals, also studded, in black leather.

Zimmermann used butter white for a wide high-waisted skirt to be worn with a ruffle top and generous V-neckline, the belt and brown leather boots complete the boho-chic look.
