3 NEW SPRING PASTELS

Hotter spells and a cooler undercurrent don’t make mastering spring dressing easy, but trading in your go-to hues for their cleaner, pastel counterparts is a simple way of updating your wardrobe.

First up, try a pale green sweatshirt for a creamier take on classic khaki that’ll work whatever the weather. Keep it muted underneath with a light jade tee and smarten things up on the bottom with a pair of wide-leg, herringbone pants. Work in a crisp white denim jacket and a cross-body up top, and pop on a pair of lilac old skool Vans for the perfect pastel kicks. 

Or if you’ve developed a penchant for steezy pink threads, go for a short-sleeved shirt in a peachy shade to switch it up for spring. Wear it layered over a white hoodie now and over a tee come summer, and team with mid-wash blue jeans or printed pants to make more of a statement. Finish up with a grey jacket and steely pair of Air Max 95s to add a cool, clean edge. 

Alternatively, take your pastels in a greyer direction – a more sophisticated stand-in for sugary baby hues. Invest in seasonal staples like a roll-sleeved tee and Reebok Classics in icier blues to refresh your favourite leather jacket smart joggers and long sleeved tee.
