This season is all about looking effortlessly chic and cute, which is the perfect reason to try pastel ensembles. While pastels might be a softer approach to wearing colour, it can’t be understated how they could have a strong effect on our mood. They feel gentle and soothing.

When it comes to this trend, the more creative and funky you make it, the better. But, if colour head-to-toe isn’t your thing, consider a neutral ensemble that you can finish with a single bright accessory.

Here are inspiring ways to experiment with the sweet colour trend or shop to add a cheerful aesthetic to your wardrobe.

PASTEL COLOUR BUCKET HATS

Pastel bucket hats in shades like lavender, lemon, and baby pink are great to play with. Match your accessory to your shirt, bag, or entire ensemble to elevate your style aesthetic and tie the outfit together. There’s no better way to stay sun smart and look effortlessly flawless!

TRY PASTEL OMBRÉ

Ombré pastel pieces are an easy way to incorporate tons of colour into your look. Style with a denim skirt, your favourite white slacks, or a slip skirt in a coordinated hue.

WEAR WITH DENIM

One of the more effortless ways to approach the trend is to simply style with your go-to jeans. If the weather is still cool out, try a pastel sweater and accessorise with a pair of sneakers in another pastel hue.
