How to Wear Pastel in 2018

How to Wear Spring's Hottest Color Trend Without Looking Like an Easter Egg

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

As much as we relish a saturated, punchy pop of color, there's an equal amount of space in our hearts for pastels. These soft, powdery hues not only translate to Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall, but also play nicely with many of our favorite fabrics (denim, for example).

We saw a slew of sorbets come down Spring/Summer 2018 runways — Tibi and Chloé included — and thus assembled your outfit and shopping guide to give a jump-start on your wardrobe for the season.
