Pastel shades are light shades of colour that tend to bring out the innocence. These shades are coming out quite big this season, with pretty pastels such as mint green, lavender and blush pink.

Pastel shades are not popular just for garments but also in accessories such as shoes, belts, sunglasses and hand bags, but if you want an edgier look you can mix the light shades with leather.  

These innocent shades go quite well with floaty spring dresses and chic little ensembles, but not pantsuits. The best thing about pastel shades is that you can select the most-flattering color and wear it with whatever silhouette that suits you, and the selections are endless from a minty-green board-shorts suit to a professional look with a lilac dress to sporty baby blue bombers.

With limitless options; why not bring out the innocence in you this season with these pretty pastel shades.
