Pastel colors are obtained by mixing white with any pure color: blue, green, red and others. By their nature, the final shades are soft and delicate. They can look incredibly stylish, but there is a downside to the coin: a pastel look can easily become faded. However, there are several tips that will help add brightness to any outfit with similar tones. For example, you can use contrasting colors or highlight faded colors with prints. These subtleties will be discussed today.
Monochrome look
In fact, pastel shades can stand out on their own. To do this, you just need a minimalist image in a single color scheme. However, it is important not to overdo it! The best solution would be “one piece” clothes: mini and midi dresses, sundresses, overalls. For a monochromatic style, pink and blue are ideal.
The latter can be used to dilute and maintain delicate colors. White accessories will do this role well. A combination of a light shirt and a pastel sweater will work just as well.The main thing is to remember that soft shades should dominate.
Saturation and Contrast
Another way to emphasize a pastel color is to create a small bright accent. To do this, you just need to put on any item from a rich palette. For example, a pale pink dress can be successfully “diluted” with a bright red bag, and a pale blue trouser suit “makes friends” with a bright blue belt.

In addition, one of the most creative fashion trends has always been the composition of mismatched shades. Thus, pastels can be worn together with bright “opposite” tones. However, in such a composition the delicate color should prevail.

Pastel colors also go well with bright prints. This is a great way to add fun and variety to your outfit. It is noteworthy that floral designs are gradually going out of fashion, giving way to geometry and abstraction. And flowers don’t look very harmonious with pastels.
Denim composition

Denim fabric goes with almost anything. Soft shades are no exception. Besides, don’t think that pastels are only suitable for summer outfits. Blazers and cardigans in a delicate palette look simply great with jeans of any style.
Start small
But if you are not sure that the image in soft colors will be successful, you can first try accessories. So, for example, a black suit will take on playful notes with a soft pink handbag, and a pastel necklace will look great on the collar of a dark dress.
