PRETTY IN PASTEL
SOFT SHADES, LILAC LOOKS, FASHIONABLE FLATS AND RETRO-INSPIRED ACCESSORIES WILL HAVE YOU SPRINGING INTO A NEW, LIGHTER SEASON
Spring’s arriving early in the fashion world, with pastel hues and pretty accessories breathing fresh life into wardrobes.
Lighten up your look with lilac – stylist Liana Gow-Killingbeck is tipping it as the season’s biggest trend.
Millennial pink is popping up too, but the pretty purple is a softer way to make a style statement.
“Reach for the pastel hue in a soft knit, midi dress or statement skirt and style with white and denim classics for a hip yet effortless ensemble,” Liana says.
Comfort lovers are in for a treat, with fashionable flats on point.
“Pointed shoe styles are an elegant option to keep your toes warm and outfit chic as the season begins to swing,” Liana says.
“Invest in a pointy pair of casual flats for an all-round staple shoe, or strap into a sexy pair of stilettos to elevate your after-dark aesthetic.
“Meet in the middle with a classic block-heeled sandal.” Accessories are also injecting character into season-bridging staples.
“A wallet-friendly trend currently making waves across Instagram is resin-made earrings in various tones of tortoiseshell,” Liana says.
“Opt for a funky pair of retro-inspired hoops or drop earrings to lift your accessories game.”
