Pastels

Pastels are basically a good mood in colour form. Soft lilac, minty green, peachy nudes, baby blue and blush, the shades that make you look like you got a full night’s sleep even when you very much didn’t. Plus size pastel outfits at Showpo bring all that soft-serve energy in your size, dreamy pastel dresses, flowy curve styles and easy separates in every sweet shade going. Sizes 4 to 20. Consider this your permission to dress like a very chic scoop of gelato.

Pretty, with an edge

Pastels get a rep for being a bit sweet, but they’re easy to make cool. Keep it soft and romantic with nude or white, or toughen it up with black, denim or a leather jacket so it doesn’t tip into fairy-floss territory. Two pastels together is the fun move, lilac and mint, blush and baby blue, like a colour palette from a dream. For occasions, a pastel midi is baby-shower and garden-party gold, and a soft floral works for a spring wedding as a guest. Add gold or silver jewellery and a nude heel, and let the colour be the whole vibe.

Stay soft

Hooked on the soft stuff? There’s more across curve dresses, and a butter-yellow moment counts as a pastel too. A matching set in a soft shade is the easy one-and-done. Pair it all back with cream, nude and gold, and you’ve got the softest wardrobe going.
