The ever-declining temps may sway you towards dark and rich colours resembling Lindt 90% or ramen broth. However, softer, prettier palettes are the talk of the season, so why not welcome the winter with a hint of summer.
Pair sweet hues with boots like Dr. Martens to up the edge of your look.
So, from Instagram to you, here’s how SA women are working pastel shades right now:
Bubblegum pink
Pink, in all its glory, (sweet and millennial) is here to stay! When the occasion calls for a monochrome look, pastel pink is your friend.
Keeping it solid in a single pastel shade is a fail safe way to make a statement and remember there’s never been such thing as a pastel overload.

Baby blue:
Of all the pastel shades, this one wins as the ultimate classic.
Contrary to its name, it also works as a grown up colour, simply by coordinating it with darker shades of blue.
For a more playful approach pair it with pastel pink as this duo of sweet hues will forever go together like boots and winter.
Yellow
A whole luminous yellow tracksuit is quite something to pull off, moreover if canary yellow is not really your thing.
Luckily a touch of white or cream provides just the right balance for almost anyone. Neutrals are a fantastic addition when two or more pastel partners are at play.
