Trend Alert: Pastel Colours Replacing Neon Colours

 
The Spring 2014 Fashion Week in New York heralded the entry of pastels as the latest fashion trend. The collection showcased at this event was a rainbow of summer friendly pastels. There were colours like purple, pink, green, blue and coral that rocked the runway. From baby blue bomber jackets to minty green short suits and even beautiful dresses in alluring pastels, like lilac, are ruling today. Make a statement with the latest trend- pastels. Beat the heat in style with these chic summer friendly dresses.

Interesting Ways to Wear Pastels

•    The Sporty Look: The Sporty Look: Crop tops with shorts or miniskirts in pastels can give you the perfect look. You can also team your crop top with the Scullers Plenty Fun Pastel Cropped Chinos or the Heart 2 Hear Plush Pastel Thermal Leggings from Fashionara. Pair them with Pastel Print Tees from Lee to complete the look.

•    Too Cool for School: We all know how alluring that preppy look can be. The casual and ready to play vibe with girly pastels can make you the centre of any event.

•    Fiercely Fashionable: Get your pastels in bold prints like Biba’s Pastel Glory Kurta or a Shriya Saran pastel green saree. Get ready to look as if you are about to walk the red carpet and make a style statement this summer with these fiercely fashionable colours and prints. Replace all those bows and lace with a sleeker silhouette.

Pastel trousers

 

•    Pastels for Men: Pastels are the perfect shades for men. Consider wearing trousers in pale teal, cream or even jeans in light blue denim. The key to wearing pastel trousers is to keep them casual. Avoid experiments and stick to neutral colours so that you can pair them with tees and shirts that will make the overall look stand out. For instance, try the Slub pastel regular fit trousers from Fashionara with a pale blue shirt. You could even pair these trousers with checks and stripes in light colours.

These are only a few suggestions. There is so much you can do with pastels, like mixing a solid pastel kurta with leggings in bold prints and much more.

Accessorise

No attire is complete unless you pair it up with the right accessories. Here’s how you can accessorise:

handbags

 

•    Handbags: Yes, you can even get handbags in pastels. And they look great! You don’t need to coordinate the purse perfectly with your attire either. You could consider contrasting pastels or colour blocks similar to the ones of the image to mix and match with your outfit.

•    Statement Belts: Imagine pairing a lavender dress with a metallic silver belt or an aquamarine skirt with a dark and textured belt. From simple leather to edgy metallic belts, this is one accessory that can completely transform your look. The belt is something that works wonders for both men and women alike.

Cobberlz Pastel shoes

 

•    Shoes: You can never have enough shoes!!! Try the Cobberlz Pastel Diva Stillettos shoes with your outfit and look and feel like a real diva. You really do know a person by the shoes they wear.
