PASTEL AND PRINTS

You can’t call it spring until you’ve broken out the pastels and prints in your wardrobe. The mood enhancers of the fashion world are big news this season, with candy colours creating a sugary sweet look and prints offering a bold statement.

It may still be chilly out, but you can easily add spring pastels to your wardrobe, just like our street stylers. This rose pink jacket is a perfect pastel update that immediately gives the outfit an on-trend boost. Their accessories also nod to the trend, try a pastel bag or painterly print scarf. Opt for mint or lilac as fresh colours for spring accessories. Bright and bold floral patterns and graphic floral prints were a hit on the catwalk. In real life, our street stylers tone them down with complimentary colours.

Steal their style
Stock up on candy-coloured accessories and bold florals to give your look an on-trend update. Opt for matchy matchy pastels if you dare. The key is to layer up the pastel colours in your outfit, using darker pastel accessories to tone down the perfect princess effect. Don’t write off pastels on a cold day. Street style shows how a pastel jacket can freshen up your look, even when the weather is chilly.
