Pastel Perfection....

So, with all of this depressing weather we’ve been having lately, is it only me who is looking for something to lift us out of these winter blues? It may seem like it’s too early to start investing in your summer wardrobe but here at 4couture.com we’ve been looking at some stylish options that will take you right through the seasons.

A major trend for Spring/Summer 2010 is going to be soft, floaty fabrics in gorgeous pastel colours. Although this may seem like a scary thought as we’re only in January, worn in the right way you can wear them from the day you buy them right through to the end of the summer. As ever, our fave site www.net-a-porter.com is bang on trend and hosting a stunning collection of pastel delights! Check out this D&G dress which is perfect as lace is still very on trend (see right) http://tiny.cc/1MeZy. Team it with black tights and a blazer now, or on its own when the weather warms up! Also on Net-A-porter are these beautiful printed silk pieces by Emilio Pucci (see below) http://tiny.cc/txZHP, which are again so versatile and can be worn in many ways and you always know that Pucci is an investment buy.





Another website showing off the new Spring collections is www.my-wardrobe.com. They’ve just brought in some lovely designer pieces in pastel colours including this silk Chloé blouse (see far right) http://tiny.cc/qku95 perfect with black skinnys now or bleached jeans in the summer. They also have this Malene Birger Pintucked shirtdress which you would be sure to wear again and again (see right) http://tiny.cc/VdjDO.

So you can see that you don’t need to save up for months and buy a whole new wardrobe to stay up to date. One or two statement pieces will last you right through a season and keep you looking fabulous without going into your overdraft!


But, if you’re one of those people (as most of us are!) who can’t help but keep buying, we’ve also found some more, low budget buys that still fit in with this trend. True to form, www.asos.com have some great buys at amazing prices. This pastel yellow top (see left) http://tiny.cc/1YT6z is an absolute bargain at £20 and is sure to bring you into Spring! You can also pick up this lovely pale blue tank top from Reiss for £79 (see right) http://tiny.cc/a9mkp.


There are so many websites out there offering stunning items that fit this trend that I couldn’t fit them all into one blog! Be sure to check out all the new collections of the designers that I’ve mentioned and also check out websites such as www.start-london.com and www.lipsy.com, who also have some lovely new bits, especially their pastel coloured leather jackets. One last designer that definitely deserves a mention is Whistles. Their new collection hasn’t been released on the website yet but when it does it is sure to be leading the way with this exciting trend! That’s if their press preview has anything to go by...check out the sneak preview below!
