Whether you like buying into trends or prefer to stick with basics, you need to add pastels to your wardrobe. Soft hues are a classic spring staple and are timeless enough that you can wear them year after year, yet when styled just right, they’re also super trendy and cool.

How can you style pastels?

MONOCHROME

Choose one color and stick to it throughout your entire outfit as in Figure 1. It always makes a smashing look. This will elongate your silhouette and jazz up your persona. Pair it with thread earrings (Figure 1.1) and block heels (Figure 1.2). Here we try to keep it basic, giving a balanced look. Try to stick with minimalism.

PAIR  IT WITH CHUNKY ACCESSORIES

Wear a cute pastel dress (Figure 2) and pair it with a vibrant handbag (Figure 2.1) and some cool multiple layered bracelets (Figure 2.2). If you don’t want it that minimal and basic, then you can flaunt your style with chunky accessories. Pastel dresses in one color are fabulous for any summer occasion, from office to beach. Well, for me fashion is never completed without some addition of accessories.

DIFFERENT PASTEL COLORS TOGETHER (MIX THEM)

Make a different pastel color combo and no vibrant or chunky feel to be added. (Figure 3). This creates a kind of soothing look and at the same time classy. (Figure 3.1). You should never overdo with pastels but do not be afraid of mixing and matching different pastel colors.

WITH NEUTRALS/ BLACK/ WHITE

Keep your outfit simple with neutrals and then pop it up with pastel. This gives a catchy look to your pastel clothing. Flaunt it and outstand it. You can never go wrong wearing pastels with black or white separates. You can either wear pastel jeans with a white or black top and complete the look by adding cool sandals or platform shoes (Figure 4). You can always replace black with soft Grey or Beige, as some girls and ladies think of black as something too much grungy. We love pairing pastels with white. (Figure 4.1) Just imagine pale blue and white or blush and white sound sexy and sweet.

WITH VIBRANT

Keep your outfit fully pastel-colored and then style it with vibrant clothing (Figure 5). Adore your pastels and create an attractive look (Figure 5.1). Don’t forget about mixing pastels with bright prints (Figure 5.2) we love this kind of combos, they look quite intriguing and romantic. This is one way you can show off your creativity and uniqueness.

WITH DENIM

You can play with ‘denim with pastel’ in a lot of ways. Denim jackets go well when you put on a monochrome two-piece or a short dress pairing it with block heels and a classy handbag. Sunglasses add a more stylish look to this.

Wear pastel color sweatshirt or top with pastel color coat or jacket and pair it with denim jeans or skirt and a light shade or best go with white/beige color watch (Figure6). It creates a not so formal look but at the same it looks classy.
