The palette of pastels—light pink, lavender, pale green, peach and more—is as at home in the summertime as it is in spring. When the weather is blazing, cool down your look with any one of these restful, soothing colors. The trick to wearing pastels for maximum effect is not to overdo it. Here are some tips for pulling it off in style.
1. Choose a Single, Perfect Pastel Piece
Head-to-toe pastels are rarely a good idea, but wearing a single cool item of clothing can be understated, yet absolutely stunning. Do you usually opt for white tops with jeans or a simple skirt? Choose pale pink or yellow instead. Pastels are a great substitute for white and add a new level of interest to an otherwise monochromatic look.
2. Soften up your Edgier Side
Don’t feel like you have to be a complete girly girl to pull off pastels. If you love to look “dangerous” for a night of clubbing or when you have a date to a concert, go ahead and pair baby blue or dusty pink with that biker jacket or black leather pants. You’ll be surprised at how feminine you feel (and look) without losing that edgy vibe.
3. Pastel Accessories? Yes, Please
Still not convinced? By far the easiest way to wear this timeless trend is with accessories—pale green rims for sunglasses, a peachy silk scarf or a rose petal handbag. A little touch of pastels may be all you need to freshen up your summer look.
