Mint-green, sweet pink, soft peach, powdery blue…all of which will be very trendy and lucky us for that, as all pastel colors bring light and sweetness but offer as well a lot of style on a outfit. 

However, you wonder how to combine them without turning into The giant barbapapa (candyfloss)  or make it easy for you and associate it straight to traditional black color?

Pastel colors  even though, their soft and wise spirits can undermine more than one of us with regard to, practically, wear them!

So how to mix and match pastel for a trendy look?

• A suede jacket with fringes 
• Slim or skinny jeans but with some destroyed bits and frayed hem rather than straight edges. 
• A denim mini-skirt with some destroyed appearances
• A loose heavy knit sweater 
• A cardigan with puff sleeve
• A T-shirt with used appearance

If you feel you have pastel pieces in your wardrobe but they have the “good girl” touch, you can still wear them and be fashion and trendy under condition that you mix them with Rock style pieces or pieces with a strong character. 

What’s really to distrust with your “good girl” pieces is…
