This season is the best time to have fun with soft pastels. Spotting pastel on the New York Fashion Week definitely hints something and marks the trend this Spring. If you are all about the vibrant hues, give them a break and give pastels a try. They are sweet and soft hues that lends a drop of feminine flair to the ensemble. Read on to discover 5 ways to wear pastels this season!
1. Different Shades of Similar Pastel Tone
I love the way how Blair plays around with pastel pink. She coordinates the lighter and darker shade of pink pastel perfectly from the blazer top, tulle skirt and the pumps, It matches all seamlessly without feeling too bland or flat with just one tone.
Here we have coordinated the feminine tulle skirt with a sweater top to offset with a slightly sporty feel. Adding some lush look with its fur detailing on the sleeves. Matched with similar tones of pastel pink for a totally sweet look.

2. Contrasting Bold Colours
Ellena's step in matching pastel blue with hot red is certainly a bold step to take. You may feel sceptical about how it'll turn out, just like me. With great surprise, she has nailed it perfectly as the ensemble is pleasant and attention seeking. By looking at the picture above, those doubts are instantly wiped away. It turns out pretty good how the soft pastel blue blends in with the overpowering red.
So here we have a pastel blue ruffled top matched with off-white trousers and give it all out with fiery red bag and pointed heels to emulate Ellena's cool combination.

If you do not any other shades of pastels that you think you can blend in with, start off with black and white or any neutral colours! I'm pretty sure they are the staples every girl has in their wardrobe. So just wear like how you would always wear and topped it over with a pastel blue coat. Simple? Yup, it totally is. Especially matching it with black, it totally brings the soft pastel to life!
