Soft shades such as soft yellow, light pink and mint green dominate the catwalks and our wishlist – and rightly so!

These dreamy colors immediately give your outfit a fresh, feminine and cheerful look. They are soft and subtle, but - depending on how you combine them - they can also make a statement. Whether you are looking for a comfy everyday pastel outfit, or a playful pastel festival outfit or a stylish look for a summer weddingYou can't go wrong with pastel women's clothing this spring & summer.

And of course we have spotted (and styled) the cutest pastel-colored items for you at Olivia & Kate.

SOFT YELLOW – Hello sunshine!

Soft yellow is the color that immediately reminds us of sunbeams on your skin, lemon ice creams, and flower fields full of daisies. This shade radiates positivity and softness, and the great thing is: it actually flatters everyone. Soft yellow makes your look just that little bit sunnier – literally and figuratively.

Style it like this:

City casual
Combine a soft yellow cropped knit or a basic top with a light wide leg jeans and white sneakers. Add a beige crossbody bag add a gold chain (you know, that one must-have) and you have the perfect look for a shopping day or lunch date in the city.

Comfy chic
Think of a pastel yellow loungewear set ladies or one oversized sweater on a white skort. This combination is ideal for a relaxed day at home, a coffee to go or a quick trip into the city. Comfort meets style, as we like it.

Romantic summer vibes
A soft yellow summer dress with puff sleeves or open back? YES please! Combine it with sandals, a braided bag and some chunky gold jewelry – and you're ready for a picnic in the park or an Insta-worthy moment in the sun.

Style tip: Soft yellow is beautiful in combination with white, beige, light blue or even mint green. Gold jewelry completes your look with a warm glow.
