Even if you prefer to wear all black or mostly stick to neutrals, it’s hard to completely ignore the whimsical look (and nature!) of pastels. We all know that a bright color can upgrade your wardrobe in any season, but swapping in a light pink or baby blue hue in place of a grey or white shade can be a serious game changer come spring — especially if you’re looking to infuse some new life into your closet or just experiment with some of the season’s biggest color trends.
If you’re ready to dabble in the world of pastel clothes (or simply expand your existing color palette), we shopped out a few pastel outfit ideas that are bound to help you make a statement this spring. From floral-adorned sweaters and colorful maxi dresses to pastel sneakers and bold swimsuits that’ll make a colorful splash on your next beach getaway, these pieces will take your love for pastel clothing to new heights — and may even inspire you to forget your neutral styles for good. Our curated guide includes all the works; like sunny yellow shades, delicate teal tones, and Barbiecore-inspired pink hues. But rest assured, these styles are also versatile enough to be worn well into the summer and fall season too, so they’ll feel like worthwhile investments for the long term.
Browse through our cute pastel outfit ideas ahead to find your new favorite piece.
