Make the color palette of your wardrobe more delicate with our tips on how to choose and combine pastel-colored clothes.
How to wear pastel colors
Pastel colors are a must for the warm season: refined, youthful, and versatile, they lend themselves to many different ways of being worn.
These soft tints provide an extremely chic look, perfect for ceremonial attire, and at the same time prove suitable for everyday outfits as well.
Combining pastel-colored clothes is very simple, as these soft and delicate shades can be mixed to achieve a "rainbow" effect, which allows you to appear lively, jovial, and always trendy.
For a timeless style, you can choose a look with a single pastel shade or you can combine the colors with each other: pink and lilac light up when worn together with white, creating the perfect combination for summer days.
If you want to dare a little, you can try pairing pastel tones with bright colors:
- lilac marries perfectly with amethyst purple,
- mint green and light blue shine next to emerald green,
- sorbet orange is illuminated with orange or neon accessories.
Pastel-colored dresses: shades of pink
The first image we associate with spring is that of cherry blossoms, which is also why pink is the protagonist color of this season.
A sweet and light tint that can be worn in peach, powder pink, and antique pink shades. A perfect color for creating bon ton looks, light blouses, and hyper-feminine suits.
You can choose a total pink look or make it more urban with a pair of jeans or white sports trousers.
But let's see specifically which pastel colors can be perfect for an impeccable look.
Powder pink
A variant of pink very much in vogue this year is powder pink. You can create a romantic look by combining a powder pink dress with shoes in white, gold, or silver.
With a short powder pink dress, on the other hand, you will be perfect for both an aperitif by the sea and for an event.
Want to add a bohemian chic touch? Pair it with a gold or silver leather bag and gold or silver jewelry. And to make your look bolder and more seductive, complete everything with high, feminine heels.
This pastel tint truly offers you many alternatives: you can wear a double-breasted jumpsuit even for more formal occasions, just as you can create an original mix by pairing a long-sleeved powder pink bodysuit with a floral skirt.
If you love trousers, choose a palazzo model together with a white shirt. And if you want a versatile alternative for your outfits, you can't do without a two-button jacket.
Lilac
Lilac is also a pastel shade not to be overlooked for looks in the warmer seasons. A short lilac dress, as gorgeous as a wisteria in bloom, is ideal for a special occasion.
Want a valid, but more casual alternative? Wear a lilac top with white trousers, and feel beautiful and elegant in a simple way.
Ivory
Ivory is part of the family of neutral colors, those shades that cannot be missing from any spring and summer look.
This pastel color with low intensity and a high degree of saturation has always guaranteed great delicacy. All this makes it a discreet, sober, and elegant color.
Ivory garments are for you even if you want to create a capsule wardrobe, with items that are easy to combine with each other. By combining neutral colors together, in fact, you can never go wrong. However, some combinations are more successful than others.
An ivory half-sleeved shirt will give great versatility to your wardrobe, just as a jacket will make you feel at ease in any situation.
You can choose to alternate nude tones - such as beige, ivory, and cream - with white. This color palette adapts perfectly to the summer season: imagine your golden skin paired with clothes in these shades, in a continuum that knows how to be sexy and sophisticated at the same time.
Beige and ivory also go well with more intense colors like dark green, plum purple, light blue, and brown, forming a modern and elegant ensemble.
Orange
Orange also looks great on tanned skin, both in pastel and brighter variants. A tip? Always carry something orange in your suitcase!
The contagious cheerfulness of orange is perfect for your spring and summer outfits:
a long dress with a slit, a shawl collar jacket, trousers with cuffs to be paired also with a bicolor jacket are ideal for every circumstance.
And if you are looking for something more colorful, take a look at this short dress with wavy patterns.

The choice of color for your clothes is never trivial: every shade stages an identity, creating perceptions and expectations, including psychological ones, in those who look at you.
