I always think they get a bit of a bad rap, yes historically they tend towards the sickly sweet and are worn by women you don't want to be. However this season pastels have got something going on, particularly towards the icy end of the spectrum. No longer reserved for the twin-set and poly blend crowd, there are a few items that even got me looking twice.
The key to this trend is the shapes you wear and the way you choose to accessories, in order to avoid blending, which we all know to be the ultimate sin. By choosing a tailored pastel you have the option to retain your cool and/or throw in a "pop colour" to draw attention. This is a nice alternative for those of you who I still haven't managed to sell on the idea of "Brights", they tend to be easier colours to wear and feel instantly confident in. They also give an instant sense of summer cool in the icy shades, so that no one will be accusing you of looking hot under the collar this season. Avoid that Mumsy feeling by choosing tight silhouettes, that accentuate those 'key assets'.
And please remember that paler colours are not so forgiving of poorly placed underwear, if you don't own nude underwear, now is the time to invest in it. I know it isn't the most attractive colour to look at but nothing is less attractive than showing the world your pants when you didn't mean to.
