Al fresco spritzes and the first taste of sunshine are usually enough to convince even the most loyal neutral dressers to give pastels a chance. And this summer, mini dresses, playful accessories and cute tops in sorbet shades are more wearable than you might think. Here's how to tackle pastels this summer.

Don’t just go to the ball. Be the (disco) ball. This mirrored dress is a certified Show. Stopper. The lilac and silver metallic discs and lilac feathered trim are worthy of a slot on Strictly, and paired with some platform sandals, this look proves pastels never need to be dull. Wear this anywhere with a dancefloor.
If head-to-toe pastels are too saccharine for you, keep it low key by pairing a pastel cami with white wide-leg trousers. Sophisticated, stylish and suitable for all those summer soirees. Just add square toe sandals – they’re the shoe shape of the season.
If Elle Woods was getting dressed in summer 2022, we’re pretty sure this is what she’d wear. A beaded mini dress in the sweetest shade of pink, and some fluffy mules which look like they’ve walked right out of her Harvard dorm. The issue here is picking what we’re more obsessed with: the shoes or the dress.
