For days when you can only see yourself wearing a plain tee and denim pants, who you gonna call? A floral blazer!
Statement blazers are a great way to make everyday outfits more interesting. So trust us when we say that it will save the day.

6. The Laid Back Gal
If you’re a laid back girl like me who really loves her plain shirts and skinny jeans, a pastel button-down shirt can give you the pop of color you need. This is great news if you have flannels that have been collecting dust in your closet.
Tip: If you don’t have any pastel button-down shirts in your wardrobe, go ahead and sneak into your boyfriend’s closet! You may find a gem or two waiting for you.
7. The Two-Piece Ensemble
One way to really look adorable this spring season is with a two-piece ensemble and girly accessories. Doesn’t she look super adorbs?
Tip: If you’re going with an all pastel two-piece ensemble, make sure to juxtapose the sweetness of pastels with the silhouette, shoes, or accessories.
8. The Pastel Preppy
With flowers in full bloom this season, it is a must that you embrace and become one with florals. This pastel ensemble comprising of the floral jumper, pink collared shirt and pastel pink pants is perfect for that preppy look.
Alternative look: If you’re looking for a more formal preppy look, add a pastel trench or tailored jacket to your classic pencil cut skirt and blouse look—bonus if you can match your skirt with your coat. Throw on some pearls and you’re good to go!
9. The Pastel Shorts
A white top and pastel shorts are a killer combo this spring season. It’s simple, chic and definitely cute!
To add a bit of edge to your look, wear a blazer in a color that contrasts with the lighter hues you’re wearing. Finish this look with some cute pointed-toe flat shoes or white sneakers.
10. The Pastel Sweater
It’s cute, it’s pretty and it’s adorable. It’s not hard to love which is why your lifelong search for the right sweater begins now.
Throw on a comfy pastel turquoise sweater and a pair of your favorite light-washed distressed jeans. Pairing pastel tops with distressed bottoms is a great way to create a well-balanced look.
You may also want to consider pastel sweaters with embellishments like pearls or bows. It adds another dimension to your look—plus, when your top has a little extra top, you can totally skip the accessories!
11. Pastel Shift Dresses
If you’re looking for something effortlessly chic, go with a pastel shift dress! Depending on the silhouette you choose, you can easily pull off elegant or casual looks.
Pair a high neck pastel blue or peach shift dress with some pumps. Throw on some classic sunnies and voila!
You’ve got an instantly pastel chic outfit. If you’re looking for something more casual, you can opt for a shift shirt dress.
Try it in pastel yellow, mint green, or bisque. Pair it with a multi-layer necklace and comfy flats or kicks.
12. Pastel Goth Style
Who knew pastel and goth could go well together? This unexpected pairing is actually pretty perfect (and 100% cute!).
Pastels pop like crazy against goth colors—basically black and more black. Adding touches of pastel is also an easy way to soften classic goth art.
If you aren’t big on prints, you can still achieve a pastel goth-inspired look by playing with the colors. Instead of going all black, mix it up with a pastel pale pink crop top or mini.
Goth outfits are actually perfect for springtime because layers work great with the breezy weather. A pastel goth outfit is a great way to express your edginess without giving up on your feminine side entirely.
13. Kawaii Fashion
If you want to try a bold new pastel look this spring, you may want to experiment with kawaii fashion!
What is kawaii fashion? It’s an offshoot of the culture of cuteness in Japan. In kawaii fashion, you’ll see a lot of short hemlines, bright colors, ultra-feminine or frilly pieces, and knee socks.
An easy way to achieve a kawaii outfit is to mix and match pastel punk and preppy pieces. You’ll also see a lot of layering.
Kawaii girls love to play with different fabrics and silhouettes. One thing’s for sure though—you’ll usually see pastel pieces in classic kawaii outfits!
They love pastel colors so much they even use it on their hair. Some girls go all the way and dye their hair in a shade of pastel blue or blush pink, while others adorn their hair with pastel accessories like bows and headbands.
