With a whisper of spring in the air, our thoughts have
started turning back towards lighter things: banishing deeper colours and countless
layers to the confines of our closets, Spring 2013 is all about delicious
pastel shades!
From macaron mint and seafoam blue-green to strawberry ice
cream pink and periwinkle blue, there is a multitude of colours to choose from.
We have already seen hints of this Laduree lusciousness in
previous fashion shows, like in the 2012-2013 Chanel cruisewear collection in
Versailles’ gardens. Pastel flounces and shimmering adornments in the shade of
the gilt-laden fountains: Marie Antoinette would approve!
To rock this look, you can take a leaf from that stylish
monarch’s book and add a touch of opulence to any outfit by adding
small-but-glamorous details, like pearl, gold or crystal finishes, or a hint of
lace or tulle to a skirt. Remember that less can definitely be more: don’t let
your accessories overpower your style.
Another way of approaching this trend is by using the
freshness of spring as your template: clean lines and an uncluttered look
really allow statement pieces (from a gorgeous necklace to a beautiful dress)
to shine!
