Zoe’s Style Blog: Pretty Pastels

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at OSU chapter.



A new style that we are going to be seeing a lot of this spring is pastel coloring!  Perhaps the strongest trend of the season, it will be coming in full force—with muted colors, that is!  Although you cannot deny the fun, bold colors typical of the warmer seasons, it is always good to spice things up, or in this case, to lighten things down!  Since the weather is slowly getting warmer (finally!), these fun, light colors add the perfect amount of warmth to your outfit without being overwhelming.
 
So, consider this a heads-up that these sweet pastel pieces will be in high demand this spring/summer season. Consider it a paler take on the colorblocking trend, and most importantly, remember that more is more in this situation.  Think pairing a light pink with a mint green and a fair yellow.  
 
We all know that light colors are not very flattering on certain body types, so if these pastels are not your forte, try out this subtle trend even more subtly!  Try carrying a baby pink handbag or wearing a pair of faint-green sandals.  
 
However you decide to wear this trend, have fun mixing up all of these spring colors to create the perfect pastel color-blocked outfit to match your personal style!
