Soft, ice-cream tones were a standout on Spring/Summer 2018 runways, and personally, I’m overjoyed. There’s something about these cheerful, pretty shades that instantly lift the mood and brighten any outfit. The good news? We don’t have to wait for spring to enjoy pastels—there are easy ways to weave them into your wardrobe right now!
My top pick for wearing ice-cream hues is outerwear. I adore a pastel coat or a puffer jacket. They pair beautifully with nearly any color scheme (I love how an all-black outfit gets a boost from a pastel top layer), and I tend to match pastels with softer, more feminine shades like winter white, soft gray, and baby blue.
Another simple approach is through accessories. A pastel shoe (I’m currently obsessed with pastel sneakers) or a cute hat (yes to lavender berets) is an effortless way to introduce softness into winter looks, which often rely on darker, more subdued palettes. For instance, I love how light pink adds a gentle touch when paired with burgundy, or how cheerful soft yellow looks with olive green or gray.
What about you all—how do you feel about ice-cream colors for winter?
