Why You Can (and Should) Wear
Pastels in the Winter
In partnership with our friends at Vince
To paraphrase the wise words of Ingrid Fetell Lee (she of the Aesthetics of Joy fame), wearing color is an easy way to invite more joy into everyday life—especially now, when grey skies and sidewalk slush abound. Below, four exceptionally pretty pastel-forward outfits to perk up your mood.
Playing It Safe
Versus Playing It Up
A soft-green cardigan, light-wash jeans, and cream carryall are all low-stakes ways to lean into livelier tones. If you’re more of the go-big type, a colorblock party is in order, with watermelon-hued cords, a lavender knit, and ballet-pink accessories as the guests of honor.

Dressing Up, Two Ways
Frost-blue faux fur pops against a meringue-hued base and plays well with aquamarine and coral accents. A black background, on the other hand, sets the stage nicely for sheeny things—satin skirt, dazzling drop earrings—and their chic muted counterparts.
