Pastel hues starting creeping back into fashion when designers in Paris showed sweet, light colors on the runway for spring/summer 2012. The pastel trend turned out to be the perfect “yin” to the bright color trends’ “yang” and has continued to enjoy popularity into the fall/winter 2012/2013 season.

Pastel colors have traditionally been a welcome color palette for the winter season after the autumn hues from the fall season begin to look too familiar. Pastels offer a fresh and colorful perk to winter ensembles; especially during bleak winter weather!

One of the fabulous things about pastels is that they will continue to be hot as we move into the spring 2013 season. Pastels will be the ultimate alternative color palette to spring/summer 2013’s uber bright shades and neon hues. This makes pastel garments and accessories a great investment to wear now and during the spring months. Love that!

For the winter season, pastels look fabulous with the holiday season’s sparkle trend. When paired with silver or gold, pastels add the perfect complimentary color to any party ensemble or daytime outfit.
Look for pastel hues in lavender, mint green, soft yellow, sky blue, peach and washed out pinks when shopping for pastels this winter 2013 season.
