Now, you may be wondering what EXACTLY is a pastel color, or if you’re actually rocking the trend and don’t even know. Well, while most people write pastel’s off as the pinks, purples and baby blues we tend to see in the Spring, a pastel color is honestly any hue that is ‘soft’ (i.e. not a bold color, harsh, bright, blazing…you get my point).1 Lupita Nyong'o Wear a Pink Escada Coat and a Grape Purple Michael Kors Cut Out Wool Crepe Dress to the Today ShowWeinstein-Company-Pre-Oscar-Dinner-Zendaya-2

So how HAVE people been rocking the pastel trend? Well, you can actually wear it a myriad of ways. Aside from the head-to-toe look, you can also incorporate elements of the style, such as a coat (like Lupita) or a quick accessory to drape around you (like Marjorie). No matter what, the pastel trend is a wonderful transition into Spring with soft hues and saturations of any color you can think of!Patina+Miller+Color+Purple+Broadway+Opening-wai-mingkate-middleton-windsor-castle-scoutsPurple Power!

It’s not just one theme, but you can have as much fun with it as you’d like!

 

Let’s check out how these celebrities rocked the pastel trends and which colors they used. How do YOU rock Pastels this Spring? Make sure you send your best pastel looks to submissions@fashionbombdaily.com for a chance to be featured in this week’s How Do You Wear It!

Her coat has a shawl collar and an exaggerated lapel.

Marina works with leather and straps to create innovative designs. See a similar basket weave look by the designer below.

Despite her head scratcher of a photo, she definitely looks hot! Love the color scheme!

Fashion for a cause is always on our radar, so when we heard about the Pocket Square Project, we knew we had to report on it!

Co founded by Attorney Dominique Price and Indiana University doctor Dr. Rachel Vreeman, the Pocket Square Project combines fashion and philanthropy, selling Kenyan made pocket squares with proceeds going towards clinics that lend support to children affected by HIV and AIDS.

Each pocket square is $20; clinics allow children to receive counseling, education services, and even fill their medicine. Eventually the program hopes to provide job training, primary care, and health services for other chronic diseases.

In addition to pocket squares, the website also sells bowties, and will potentially offer headbands for women in the near future.

Cool, right?

Learn more and support the cause at ThePocketSquareProject.org.
