Sugar rush: ten sweet ways to wear summery pastels

Blake Lively attends the Michael Kors Collection Fall/Winter 2022 Runway Show at Terminal 5 on February 15, 2022 in New York City.

This season, don’t let ice-cream shades give you a headache. 

Instead, avoid being vanilla by embracing the romantic side of candy-infused hues. 

Look to Michael Kors and Prada, where sugar-coated pastels created a sartorial high. 

These summery shades of rose pink to a mellow yellow will bring the fun back into your wardrobe – it really is the sweetest thing.
