Sarah Guirguis Every time spring comes around, we know the theme has naturally shifted to ‘effortless chic’, and what screams – I mean, whispers elegantly – ‘effortless chic’ like a beautiful understated pastel color palette.
Mango’s Bright Organics collection embodies this vision, while presenting you must-have staples you will definitely need for your wardrobe this season. From pretty blazers and cardigans to flowy skirts and oversized shirts, the pieces in this range are made with gingham and textured fabric, guaranteed to look flattering on any woman. An obvious hit is the cotton crochet cardigan in a nude shade, along with the checkered lavender set of the knitted top and pencil skirt, which is ideally meant to be paired with the lavender pleated crop cardigan.
Something we haven’t mentioned yet is that the collection also features spring accessories to complete your everyday looks. Among our favorite pieces is a creamy bag with ruched detail, a flirty bucket hat with straps, low-heel sandals with a knotted design and oversized tortoiseshell sunnies.
If you happen to be a beginner to this pastel trend, let us help guide your way. You can begin by picking a neutral base for your outfit, for example, by wearing a white shirt and pants and topping them off with a dusty pink blazer or pairing a pastel dress with a black cardigan. If you generally don’t have time to mix and match outfits, you can always go the much easier route of picking a matching set with one shade of pastel; the effect will be minimalist and make you look very put together.
Now for a more advanced fashion level, you can try minimal color blocking. What stood out to us in this collection is not only the variety of pastel hues, but also the fact that they almost compliment each other. Picture camel beige with lavender. Nude tones also go well with dusty pink. And off-white will give off a chic contrast with basically any shade you can find within the collection.
The looks can easily make your spring brighter. Aside from being one of this year’s stunning fashion trends, pastel colors are a stunning expression of femininity. Not to mention, they can always be incorporated with almost anything in your wardrobe. Whether you wear them to work, brunch or a date, these soft neutral tones will make you look and feel confident and classy.
