We’ve seen a surge of pastels on the street this season, and although it comes as no surprise (Rose Quartz and Serenity are Pantone’s 2016 colours of the year!), what is surprising is just how versatile these colours can be. Whether you’re wearing the light rose-tinted hue or soft powder blue, introducing colour into your spring wardrobe has never been sweeter.

The result?…effortless femininity.

PINK

Pair pink accessories with metallics or varying shades of the tone…magenta, oxblood or blush. If you’re working the “pretty in pink” trend into your apparel, tone it down with a black hip bag or go all-out with touches of blush in your accessories as well – think pink shoes or sunglasses.

BLUE

Pantone named it “serenity”, and as the name suggests, this season’s cool shade of blue is all about calm, relaxed styling. Complement apparel with gold rings or a watch and warm-toned accessories or go even more blue when you’re rocking the hue in bag or shoe form – luckily for us all, retro-blue denim is back in a big way.
