I love pastels because they are super soft and can be easy to rock the prettiest ways possible if mixed the right way. I’ve listed below a couple of t he ways I like to make bold statements with prints and pastels. Even better now that it is Spring., pastels and prints are undeniably in trend.
Tips / Tricks ( Pastels)
When I rock pastels I like to have a palette to work with, and having up to at least two colors but a maximum of 3 like I did in this post here. I chose three colors that blended subtly but boldly and uniquely played with details using my accessories.
When I want to play with pastels at any time of the year, the biggest tricks I start off with are using fun prints, floral, beautiful geometric patterns or vintage shirts – this gives me an interesting base of fun colors that I can comfortably work with.
In this post here I had one color that I based the whole outfit off –
Tips / Tricks(Prints)
When I wear prints i like to go bold or I might as well not wear prints anywhere. Depending on the patterns, I like to stick with similar shades or a very neutral color to make the print piece stand out for me. The other big trick that works is mixing similar bold patterns like I have done in the post below. Now enjoy scrolling through 😀
So in this post I have done both – mixed up pastels and prints. The tips I have listed above will serve as a quick guide if you you in combining your looks.
