When summer pastels and Autumn tones meet.

If you invested in summer pastels it would be a shame to pack them all away now. As the weather turns  chilly and the Autumn season has definitely arrived you can adapt your summer pastels and brights by teaming them with sumptuous full bodied hues or more wintery neutral shades. This enables you to get more mileage from your clothes.

How about sugary pink with aubergine or navy.

L.K.Bennett long sleeve cardigan / Reiss formal pants, £140

Eau de nil with forest green or black

Equipment silk blouse, £125 / Ted Baker pants / Zara black boots,
Soft baby blue with navy or claret

Oasis navy v neck sweater / Reiss coat / Navy skirt / Mulberry leather bag

Accessories are best kept understated.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

  • I really like the last grouping with the baby blue...but overall I really avoid pastels. Even during warmer weather I prefer more saturated colors! Have a great week!!

  • Because the fall in upstate NY is awash with reds, yellows and orange, I always think in terms of these when transitioning my wardrobe. But the softness of the pastels against the richer, darker hues is refreshing. I think these combinations would be a lovely way to lighten up the winter doldrums and bring a touch of summer to winter's icy, darker days. Thank you for the idea.

  • Really sophisticated stylings ... colors are perfect. I have an odd but pretty pair of silky pants that are either teal or green ... can't decide which. But I love the idea of the right mint to go with them!
    Thank you!
