Pastel colours can seem to most like one of the trickiest trends to tackle come the Spring / Summer 2012 season. One way or another they always make an appearance in the sunnier months and this coming season it’s more so than ever. From dresses to skirts and tops to skinny jeans, check out how you can embrace the lighter shade of fashion this season. If for you, wearing pale shades is a daunting thought, don’t panic; there are easy and subtle ways to incorporate pastels into your wardrobe. Why not try embracing the trend with your accessories? Whether it’s a structured bower bag, sleek pair of pumps or statement necklace, hinting at the pastel trend can bring your entire look into the current Spring / Summer 2012 season. If you feel ready to tackle the pastel trend but are still a little dubious – keep your eyes out for tops in the paler shades of lemon yellow, mint green and light lilac that embody the trend. These mostly come in sexy sheer fabrics and stylish chiffons which are ultra wearable teamed with simple separates. If you feel ready to tackle the pastel shaded trend head on, be on the lookout for statement items which really channel the trend to the maximum. Think striking skinny jeans or a fun and flirty dress to make the trend come to life
