Wind, hail, blasts of sunshine: the April weather has an unpredictable reputation for a reason. So while we wait out April showers in greedy anticipation of the finer weather kicking in, we present one style solution: the yellow coat. From shades of creme and café au lait, to the internet dressing phenomenon ‘stick of butter yellow’, light, airy coats are truly having a moment. The reaction to the saffron yellow ankle-grazing coat on the cover of the April issue of THE GLOSS proved that tenfold. Why? Perhaps it’s the carefree, happy-go-lucky vibe that yellow exudes that appeals right now. Consider it a pre-summer, dopamine hit – we’ll take that. Shop the best of sunshine cover-ups below.
