After a dark and cold winter, longer and sunnier days are settling in, and we couldn't be more excited to insert more color into our outfits. One of our favorite parts about this time of year has always been all the pretty pastels that always seem to pop up, and we're determined to rock the spring fashion trend as often as we can.
Need some pastel inspiration for your own wardrobe? Here are the 14 items the Shop TODAY team is currently crushing on.
Pastel clothing for spring and summer
Lands' End Moisture Wicking Cardigan
The temperature can change drastically from one day to the next during springtime, so it's always a good idea to have a cardigan on hand for those times when a cold breeze passes by. This season, we'll be cozying up with this soft lavender number that offers UPF 50 sun protection, odor control and a moisture-wicking finish.
Maisonette Très Bien Adult Sweatshirt
Searching for that certain je ne sais quoi in your wardrobe? Show off your sassy side with this peachy sweatshirt that reads "Très bien." The lightweight, cozy material is perfect for those early days of spring when it's still a bit chilly out and also comes in a pretty pastel blue hue. Plus, it comes in adult and kids' sizes!
LC Lauren Conrad Puffed-Sleeve Moto Jacket
Sick of your same old black moto jacket? Try something with a lighter touch this spring, like this mint green option from Lauren Conrad's Kohl's collection. The soft color and puffed sleeves add a feminine touch to the otherwise edgy style and it also comes in a light green shade that's equally charming.
Cropped Pink Jean Jacket
Every wardrobe needs a classic blue denim jacket, but there's always room for pastel pinks, too, if you ask us. This flirty option from Old Navy is a steal at only $40 and will help dress up jeans and a blouse or tone down a dressier frock.
