Pastel party: a sweet summer of colors

Pastels are soft, light colors. They often appeal to childhood with their nuances full of tenderness and their poetic names (“baby pink”, “baby blue”, “chick yellow”, “lilac”…), and take their origin precisely… from color sticks used to draw!

Childhood colors

Pastels are soft, light colors. They often appeal to childhood with their nuances full of tenderness and their poetic names (“baby pink”, “baby blue”, “chick yellow”, “lilac”…), and take their origin precisely… from color sticks used to draw! Soothing, pastels also evoke ideas of serenity, sensuality, wisdom and candor, which make them timeless colors that are easy to wear. And this, particularly in summer: their freshness tempers even the hottest atmospheres of the season...

And fashion in all this?

We are confiding a secret: wearing pastel colors is much easier than one might think. Unlike brightly colored clothing, pastel pieces more easily transcend trends and seasons... and one gets tired of wearing them less quickly. However, there is a rule to follow to choose your pastels well: make sure to select them according to your skin tone to enhance your looks through a play of contrasts and saturation. The advantage of pastels? They enhance all skin tones: they highlight tanned complexions and brighten pale skin, giving both a fresh and luminous appearance. Specifically, pastel colors can be added to your look in touches (shoulder bag, earrings, mules...), or worn in a total look. For example, adopt the trend of oversized short/shirt sets in pastel colors, or mix several colors (lilac/yellow, emerald green/pale pink, baby blue/nude...) to master the art of color blocking (editor's note: the art of using color as a main element of a look). In any case, focus on the part of the body you wish to highlight, as pastel attracts the eye with its vibrancy! Note: shades of purple (lilac, mauve...) have the particularity of flattering almost all body types! They soften the face and illuminate all skin tones. Use them, therefore, without moderation!
