Kate Garraway just found the easiest way to wear yellow - her citrus-toned heels and shocking pink dress are fabulous

Yellow isn't for everyone but Kate Garraway just showed how to incorporate it into your outfits in a more minimal way.

Yellow is one of those colours that many people either love or steer away from and I tend to do the latter. This isn’t because I don’t like yellow, but because I find it trickier to style than other colours like green and pink.

Butter yellow in particular has been hugely on-trend this season and vivid yellows are fun, so it was great to see Kate Garraway styling this bold tone in a way I can easily recreate. The Good Morning Britain host recently wore a shocking pink dress with a pair of citrus-yellow court heels.

The presenter shared a glimpse of this look in a post on Instagram with her brilliant stylist Debbie Harper, who revealed that the shoes were from Kate’s wardrobe. These would be perfect to wear to the races, as well as to a wedding, or just when you want to make a statement on date night.

Kate Garraway regularly wears court heels for work and the contrast between the timeless design and the vivid yellow colour of this pair made them so eye-catching. If you’re going to invest in bright shoes, I’d recommend taking a similar approach.

The more classic you go design-wise, the more flamboyant you can get with the shade as the style will help to balance it out and make sure it’s not overwhelming. Kate’s heels were a true, sunshine yellow and screamed summer to me.

Her choice of footwear was a clever way to add yellow into her ensemble without resorting to a full-on yellow outfit. Everywhere on the high street and online I’ve been seeing yellow dresses, cardigans and shirts, but shoes make up only a small part of your look.

This means that yellow doesn’t have to be the focus of an outfit, yet you can enjoy the joyfulness of this popular colour. If you pair yellow sandals or heels with a white dress or a neutral T-shirt and linen trousers, the shoes suddenly become a lot more understated.

Alternatively, you can use them to accessorise brighter outfits too, delivering a colour-clash effect. This is what Kate Garraway did, as her Hansine silk dress was magenta.

If you love pink, then this would be one of the best wedding guest dresses for you, thanks to its formal, sophisticated silhouette. The brand describes it as being an "ode to vintage elegance" and it has billowing sleeves and ruching at the neck and cuffs.

The colour makes a statement and although you might not have imagined it complementing citrus-yellow, it really did. Both colours were the same level of boldness, and this is a combination often seen with flowers which made it feel more harmonious.

Kate’s dress and court shoes were just as striking together as the Boden floral dress she wore back in February. This also features pops of pink and yellow and it seems that her love for wearing vibrant colours isn’t going anywhere.
