The new colour monarch has been beamed across the globe via Amal Cloony’s Stella McCartney ensemble (worn for Prince Harry and Megan Markle’s royal wedding), put up in lights thanks to Beyoncé’s Lemonade, and is currently galvanising the masses to head out and purchase anything and everything they can get their mitts on.

But, where did Gen-Z Yellow come from?

The moniker of ‘Gen-Z Yellow’ was first penned by Man Repeller’s Deputy Editor, Haley Nahman in 2017. The writer described the trend colour as fashion’s way of offering “a bright, sobering respite from the barrage of over-saccharine bubblegum.”

Since beginning its reign the high-street has been inundated with shades varying from mustard to banana. Topshop have ditched their dusty pink camis for Gen-Z Yellow wrap skirts, power suits and sling-back heels, while Monki are stocking everything from stripy swimming costumes to garish berets.

Yellow crop-top or statement jeans?

Spring walks in the park is my new jam especially when it involves super cute navy @hunterboots and brightly coloured accessories #hunterboots
