Soft Pastels With Power
Pastel season is nothing new, but this year’s palette breaks the stereotype that soft color equals feminine color. The shades dominating spring are universally flattering; dusty lilac, butter yellow, muted peach, and sage green.
You’ll see pastels in:
Denim
Knitwear
Oversized button downs
Silk scarves and pocket squares
Sneakers and accessories
The appeal is uncomplicated. These colors bring freshness and warmth after winter, and they blend easily with neutrals for both subtle and bold looks.
Workwear Re Imagined
Elevated Athleisure clothing has been breaking gender codes for decades, and spring is its latest example. The new workwear mixes function and polish, offering pieces that look chic and style effortlessly.
Expect plenty of:
Cargo styles (both slimmer and dramatically wide)
Parachute fabrics
Funnel neck zip ups
Lightweight anoraks
Sweatshirts that feel polished
In editorial and retail, we’ll see this paired unexpectedly with more business appropriate items. Cargo pants with ballet flats, ¾ zip funnel necks with tailored trousers, and parachute pants with lightweight knits.
