Pastels, huge fashion trend for summer 2012
Loving the pastel blue Balenciaga clutch
In the fashion magazine lately, or if you have been window shopping at your local mall - you will see ‘pastels’ are a huge fashion trend for summer 2012. You may be looking for a little inspiration in regards to how you should wear these pretty shades this summer. These hues can often be tough - if done incorrectly, they can end up washing you out… a big no-no. Here are some tips, tricks, and inspiration on how to rock a variety of pastel shades!
1. Try pairing different shades of a hue together e.g. if you are wearing a light peach top, try incorporating a garment that is a shade darker (yet still peach coloured)! By doing this you will be adding more dimension to your look, rather than just having the peach top blend right into your skin!
Which colour combination is your favourite? Mine is pink and mint!
2. Baby yellow is one of my favourite hues to rock, but also the most difficult. You can try to pair it with grey or blue. For some reason these two colours really compliment each other while providing a great contrast of colours.
3. The most easiest to wear – pink and mint! They look great alone, together, or paired with a variety of other colours. I think a splash of brown will look fabulous with light pink!
I love the Easter greens, warm yellows, flirty peaches and powdery pinks and lavenders.
Casual pastels – nice combination!
I think the new palette for spring is refreshing. For something a little less dramatic (if you don’t want to be too bold – just pick one piece and keep the fresh look by pairing it with crisp whites or warm light greys. Will you be rocking pretty pastels this summer and which shade will you pick?
