Spring Fling: Pastel

10th OF September 2012

Spring is finally here!

And the best part is…

Out come those oh so sweet sugary shades.

Pastel is bigger than ever this season and much like the refreshing flood of sunshine lately - we just can’t get enough (and neither can our wardrobes).

 

 

With delicious hues of peach, lemon, mint, lilac and powdery blue popping up everywhere you turn, getting yourself spring ready has never been so easy.

But with so many colourful sorbet options, from the catwalk to in stores to online, it’s enough to send you into pastel overload.

Which is why RESCU is here to help – bringing you the ultimate guide on how to pull off this must-have spring look.

Firstly, before you jump on the pastel bandwagon you need to decide which type of pastel style suits you best.

Girly Pastel

This feminine and delicate take on the pastel trend is perfect for dressier occasions whether that be first dates, weddings, christenings, garden parties – you name it – pastel is always a classic win for any spring function.

 

Style Tips:

*Pair your pastels with white or cream separates; this will make the soft shades really pop.

*Keep your accessories minimal – a nude clutch or pair of heels always teams well with pastels.

Edgy Pastel

For a more structured trendsetter approach to these chalky shades invest in a chic pastel lightweight blazer, shirt or pair of jeans.

 

Style Tips:

*Pair your pastel pieces with denim – this minimalist take on the sherbet hues helps keep the look casual for everyday wear.

*Feeling brave? Layer your pastel pieces together for added impact – it’s an updated twist on last year’s biggest trend, colour blocking.

*For instant glam, team with metallics – perfect for that night out with the girls!

So which pastel style are you, Girly or Edgy?
