Not blue, not white – Cat Deeley's yellow jeans are the unexpected denim shade I'm sold on
Buttery yellow denim is a glorious choice for the last few days of summer
If your jean rotation begins and ends with blue, black and perhaps the odd white pair, Cat Deeley's recent outfit might convince you to rethink your options. Spotted wearing butter yellow jeans, Cat shows that this softer, unexpected denim hue is just as elevated as the classics.
Let's be honest, most of us have a favourite pair of jeans that we wear on repeat, whether that's your best wide-leg jeans or a barrel-leg shape, but introducing a bit of colour into your rotation is an easy way to update your denim wardrobe. Not to mention that colourful or even printed variations are a big part of the denim trend for 2026, offering a fresh alternative to classic designs.
In an Instagram post, Cat wears light yellow straight-leg jeans, styled with a tonal Hawaiian print shirt from Anine Bing, which has now sold out. Keeping the rest of her look understated, she adds simple gold hoop earrings and a delicate gold bangle, creating an easy smart-casual outfit.
Offering a fresh take on everyday denim, these jeans combine a soft, buttery straw shade with a flattering wide-leg silhouette. The statement hue will pair effortlessly with simple white shirts or cosy knits.

If you're tempted to introduce colour to your denim collection, butter yellow is a great place to start. The trick is to choose a softer shade rather than anything too bright, then treat them as you would blue or white jeans. Paired with a floral blouse or a crisp white shirt, you get a sophisticated, daytime look.
And whilst colourful denim might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you're building your autumn outfit ideas, the right shade can liven up your cool-weather outfits too. Light yellow looks excellent alongside neutrals such as dark brown, cream, and navy, as well as brighter shades including sky blue.
