Blast from the pastEL!

When I think of wearing pastels, I imagine sunny skies, light flowy material, and floating around beer gardens without a jacket. This year however, pastels are transcending their time in the sun and are breaking into Autumn Winter territory. So, with darker evenings looming lets brighten them up with some of the best winter pastels the high street has to throw at us!

Dipped Hem Jumper, €40, River Island

Pastels with Denim
Pastels colours are flawless with denim. A pastel knit is a must have this Autumn Winter and will team up perfectly with your favourite light or dark skinny jeans. This dipped hem knit from River Island is a perfect piece for skinny minnies and plus sizers alike as it will conceal any hang up areas in the back, and fall perfectly over the flattest or fullest of boobs!

Pink Pastel Tote, €60, River Island

Say it with a bag
If you are shopping for a new handbag, a pastel colour will see you through both this season and next. This pop of pastel pink will brighten up any outfit, even when we’re rocking our LBD’s over xmas.

 

The Pastel Coat
Last year, the pink pastel coat exploded from the catwalks to the high street. This year it’s back, but not alone! Introducing the pink coat’s cousin, the pastel blue overcoat. For anyone tall and broad, congrats! This is perfect for you. For anyone like me, short with narrow shoulders, we’re better off sticking to the colour trend but opting for a shorter jacket that won’t drag us down.

Pink Bomber, €30, Boohoo.com 

Not just a top!
It’s easy to stick with pastel knits and coats this A/W, but don’t be afraid of the awesomeness that is the pastel skirt. However it comes with a caveat DO NOT WEAR WITH BLACK TIGHTS! Whether August or December, I still think that black tights ruin a pastel skirt. Pastels are far too light to compliment dark tights so don’t do it! If it’s freezing out there, pop a pair of skin coloured tights on to avoid your legs becoming as blue as your skirt!

So give yourself a blast from the past-el! Remember now is the time to be thinking of investing in longer sleeve lengths and thicker material when buying your pastels, string tops are no use any more!  It’s nearly September after all!
