Hi Girls, when it comes to finding subtle looks for summer that you can still incorporate into your summer colour styling without being to bold or bright, Pastels are simply a must have.

Whether you’re on a night out or just going through your usual daily business, you can count on one of these luxury pastel two piece sets to see you through. If needs be, a light wash denim would look great as a quick jacket choice or for that night out vibe these pastel two piece sets look fantastic under a metallic knit cardigan. A pair of barely there heels in either nude or Perspex set the look off along with metallic accessories to keep a light look to your summer style.

If you’re leaning towards a more off duty look that’s relaxed and sure to see you through the summer with ease then the Femmeluxefinery ‘Eazy Luxe’ Collection is bound to see you through. Although not all the Eazy Luxe collection is pastelised, there’s nothing wrong with a dusky pink or taupe set bringing some colour into your laid back clothing. The Taupe colour especially looks amazing with that early summer glow with its pastelised appearance really making that tan gleam!

Bodycon mini dress.

Mini dresses will always be a summer fave! With the pastel colours hitting hard this season whether they’re in the form of the much loved stripe trend we have spoke about or in the sense of florals and block colours, mini dresses are the fave summer go to of every girl , literally everywhere.

With many of us having summer soiree’s and parties already in the diary, or if you just fancy a night out, a pastel dress is what you really need this season. At femmeluxefinery, with the pastel colours due to be in demand over SS18, the range has come in early with many different cuts and colours of dresses in the perfect colour for you. With so many pastel mini dresses it may be hard to know exactly how you’re meant to style a pastel coloured mini dress but fear no longer, there are only a few simple steps.

For example, we’ll start with the more difficult of the suggested pastel mini dresses, the Yellow Double Strap Bodycon Dress. This is a simple styles pastel yellow dress with effortless ruched detailing and a wrap effect look. For any summer event you may be attending that you’d want to try a pastel dress for this is the ideal way to master the look. With the pale pastel colours really emphasising any summer glow that you may have, it’s not hard to see why girls across the world are going mad for this in demand pastel yellow dress. Whether it’s worn on its own or under a thin cardigan, this is a perfect look that needs to be kept light and airy. So the ideal way to pair off some shoes with this dress would be Perspex all the way. Unless you have some brilliant white stilettos hidden away in your closet, Perspex heels are definitely the go-to when it comes to pastel dresses this season. Although I would suggest keeping accessories to the minimum with these pastels, floral designs in the same colour are amazing to bring an outfit together.

Another example of an amazing pastel dress set to be totally in demand this season would be the Lilac Front Twist Bodycon Dress. With its elegant thin straps and sexy bodycon fit, this is easily a winning dress for summer even before the pastel lilac colouring. With a dress like this I would definitely only recommend white or metallic accessories, they’ll really help the pastel colour pop while keeping you in the subtle style that’s loved this season. This style of pastel mini dress from femme luxe finery is ideal for any occasion ranging from a wedding party through to a few cocktails with the girls over the summer heat wave that’s about to hit. A cute light cropped blazer would be amazing as an over layer to this if you know your day out will be stretching on into the evening which gives a perfect opportunity to include the stripe trend into your pastel style this season. Try maybe a pastel blue pinstripe blazer to team up with your pastel lilac dress for a luxe look that is simply to die for.

Pastel Trousers and Skirts

Pastel trousers are another great way to incorporate the light faded ‘Ice Cream’ colours into your wardrobe this summer season girls!

Whether it is lilacs to greens and everything in between, you can be certain that you can have your summer styling 100% on point when it comes to the range of pastel trousers from femmeluxefinery. Our personal faves would have to be the pastel wide leg trousers such as the Lilac High Waist Belted Wide Leg Trousers. Being the main focal point of your outfit, these pastel lilac wide leg trousers are an ideal way to begin expanding the summer look you need. Paired with the perfect white crop, these pastel wide leg trousers can really bring a fresh new look to your style that helps you show off your summer glow with effortless radiance.

If trousers aren’t particularly your style then pastel skirts are also a great way to give yourself the look for less. With the cheap pastel skirts and shorts at femme luxe you can achieve the look you want with the perfect pastel colours that this summer demands. Styles of pastel skirts or shorts such as the nude button embellished mini skirt and the Purple Layered High Waist Mini Frill Shorts your style simply cannot falter. Paired with many different top styles ranging between the white fluffy cropped vest top or something as daring as a white sheer lace bodysuit, you can achieve a look for summer that will not let you down. Any of these pastels would look nothing less than high class under a gold metallic knot cardigan and as is the way with pastel trousers, pastel skirts or pastel bodycon dresses, the hot Perspex heels will seriously bring your look together. If you don’t believe me then check our models styling out? The Perspex barely there’s photographed with our hot in pastel clothing really do give a complete look to the Pastelised styling this season!
