In the past few years, we’ve embraced the heat with bold brights, but this season calls for a wardrobe in a lighter wash. Pale, pretty, and so delicate, pastel hues are the summer’s It-palette!
These powder shades can be color-blocked with one another or matched with poppy prints and tints for eye-catching effect. Either way, they’re one of the sweetest trends to hit the fashion circuit in quite some time.
Not sure you can pull off pastels? This style guide walks you through the light ‘n’ breezy benefits of donning “baby” colors. Click through the gallery for 16 ways to wear mint, melon, lavender, and pale pink.
