It may sound a bit premature to be thinking about trends for spring 2014, especially with all the viscous London snowstorms. It’s no secret that fashion moves quickly around UWO, and you don’t want to find yourself being the last to find out about one of spring 2014’s hottest trends! Pastels can create a world of sugar and spice and everything nice, a fairyland filled with whimsical dreams and vintage elegance. This spring, fill your wardrobe with pastel colours, as the top designers forecast that this trend will be here for the long haul!
Outerwear
Pastel hues remind us of spring and summer, however, as you can see outside, these seasons seem like they’re ages away! But don’t fret. You can creep some pastel hues into this London weather by adding to your outfit a pastel overcoat. This is a wise investment since it’s easy to transition this style into the warmer months. We’re feeling anything from bomber, to trench, to even moto coat. So feel free to get creative!
Subtle Pastel
Want to try the trend in a subtle way? Try pastel nail colours. Since pastel looks amazing on any skin colour, try painting your nails with a delicate, pastel hue to give your ensemble a feminine edge. Personally, my favourite is the light, cornflower blue with a matte finish, which gives your outfit an extra pop when wearing accessories.
Hair Colour
A few years back, sporting coloured hair would often earn you the title of “punk”. Nowadays pastel hair can be seen on the pages of “Vogue” and celebs with lavender hairdos on the red carpet. This bold but delicate hairstyle gives people a way to express themselves and get creative. So why not try adding a bit of colour to your rather gloomy cold February days? By using hair chalk, or dip, dying the tips of your hair couldn’t be easier!
Sophisticated Pastel
It’s no surprise that blazers will ever go out of style. They instantly give any casual outfit a more sophisticated feel. Layer your pastels with spunk-don’t be afraid to look like a chic Easter egg. If you’re more demure, pair a pale pastel oversized blazer with sleek leather skinnies, then add in some crystal jewels, and metallic wedges, for a look that’s sure to impress.
This trend seems to be a popular look on the European runways from Mugler to Christian Dior. We see waves of pale pinks, dusty blues and soft-hue peaches on sophisticated silhouettes. Don’t be afraid to try this bold trend because these super feminine hues are a must!
