How to Wear Pastel Clothing the Right Way

Every season brings its own color story, and spring is often at the center of fashion critiques. The cliché of spring florals was immortalized by “The Devil Wears Prada,” leaving us questioning the freshness of this seasonal trend. But it’s not just florals that face scrutiny; pastel colors often get labeled as trite. So, how can we embrace pastel clothing without falling into the trap of being predictable?

Pastels are inherently “soft and delicate” shades, bringing to mind powdery blues, gentle yellows, baby pinks, and muted sage and violet. Despite their beauty, they’re often dismissed as too simplistic or child-like. But that doesn’t mean they should be shunned come spring.

Must-Read: 2024 Fashion Trends

Contrasting Colors for Balance

Pastels might seem unassertive, but they can actually create a strong statement. A key strategy is to pair a favorite pastel piece with a contrasting color, like blue, brown, or charcoal. This approach allows the colors to complement each other and transforms the overall look. Remember, simplicity is key; sticking to one contrasting color prevents the outfit from appearing too busy.

Modernizing Pastel Outfits

To navigate the youth-associated stigma of pastels, opt for softer versions of classic hues like baby pink, mint green, and powder blue. These can convey a sophisticated and feminine style. For instance, combine a powder blue silk blouse with high-waisted brown trousers, dark ankle boots, and a mini satchel for a polished spring look. Or, for a casual chic vibe, layer a camel crewneck sweater with jeans and ballet flats, topped with a pale blue maxi sweater coat.

Fabric and Cut Matter

The impact of pastels isn’t just about color; fabric and cut are equally crucial. Avoiding overly adorned items like lace, florals, or frills can prevent an outfit from looking too demure. Embrace pastels in modern ways, such as monochromatic suits or a pastel corset paired with denim, to rejuvenate these classic spring hues.
