What Colors to Wear With Mustard Yellow
BLACK AND MUSTARD
This is a classic and easy pairing, and lets the mustard really stand out. I chose a fitted bodysuit, but you could do a blouse or a boxy tee!

WHITE AND MUSTARD
Another classic and easy choice — white is always a safe option with any bold color, but I think it works here and is a great pairing for transitioning to fall.

CREAM AND MUSTARD
I’ve worn this combination multiple times this summer — I think it’s so pretty and subtle. Pair with brown shoes and you’ve got a great transitional fall outfit.

DENIM AND MUSTARD
Denim is HUGE for fall…we’re seeing all the denim skirts, dresses, tops, vests, and jeans, so this was an obvious choice! You could choose light or dark denim — whatever you have! And as it gets cooler, you could swap a denim shirt for a denim jacket.

STRIPES AND MUSTARD
If you’re looking for a more casual option, choose a striped tee and some cute sneakers — this is a fun option with mustard and with this skirt.

BROWN AND MUSTARD
Brown and mustard are in the same color family, so they’re a great combination together. I added a pop of color with the sneakers and I love that it makes a basic outfit feel more fun.

DARK TEAL AND MUSTARD
This was an unexpected favorite color pairing — any jewel tone looks amazing with mustard, and this dark teal is no exception.

OLIVE AND MUSTARD
Olive green and mustard are two of my favorite fall colors, and combining them with a rich brown in the shoes and belt is just a perfect fall outfit.

SAGE GREEN AND MUSTARD
I wasn’t sure if I would love this sage green and mustard yellow combination, but I do! It’s gorgeous and unexpected.

SLATE BLUE AND MUSTARD
This is a great summery option if you’re looking for something to wear before the weather cools down…I love the soft blue against the mustard, and it’s perfect with a pair of neutral sandals.

FLORAL AND MUSTARD
Floral is always a good idea, especially for summer and fall! This top has some yellow in the floral print, so it’s an obvious choice with the mustard yellow. But try playing around with other florals in your closet and see which ones work for you!

RUST AND MUSTARD
This is my favorite of the bunch — rust and mustard together feels SO fall and so pretty! I’m obsessed. Add a pop of leopard in there, and you have a perfect fall outfit!

BURGUNDY AND MUSTARD
This floral is another great option, with pinks and burgundys in the mix. I wouldn’t pair a hot pink top with this mustard yellow skirt, but I think the burgundy helps mute it a bit and helps the colors work together and feel appropriate for fall.

YELLOW AND MUSTARD
This was another color I was a little skeptical about, but I ended up loving it! Since the colors are both yellow, even though they’re different shades, they work together and make a summery kind of pairing! I added a summery wedge to complete the look and I love how it came together.

PINSTRIPES AND MUSTARD
If you have pinstripes in your closet, try it with your mustard yellow pieces! A subtle stripe is a great option to add a little visual interest to the solid mustard yellow. I kept this one a little more casual with a white sneaker, but I think wearing it with flats or loafers would also be a great choice.
