Best Pastel Clothes 2021

30+ Pretty Pastel Pieces You Can Wear Right This Very Moment (and in Springtime, Too)

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.

Even if you wear all black all the time, or mostly stick to neutrals, it's hard to completely ignore all the colours of the rainbow. Of course, bright shades stand out as an obvious statement, yet switching in a pastel for grey or tan can be a baby step to boldness.

Now, we know blush-coloured pieces are beautiful year-round and, just 'cause there's no sun in sight, doesn't mean light yellow should stay hidden, too. But, much like florals and spring, pale colours often suffer from the same snap judgement.

If you're ready to dabble (or expand your existing palette), we hunted around for fashion that fits, and found sweaters, dresses, jackets, and more in soft shades from rose to lilac. Maybe you'll be into the sage sweater (or sweater dress), or be inspired to add a pink coat to your collection? Decide for yourself with our pastel picks ahead.
