Like 'em or not, pastels are the "it" palette this spring — and this fall too. Wear them within an edgier silhouette or paired with more aggressive pieces, otherwise you risk coming off too romantic and feminine, like you're about to sing to some birds in a meadow. Which doesn't sound half bad, come to think of it.
