Pastels are back. But forget the sugary sweetness and the overly sensible silhouettes. This season, soft yellow is reinventing itself as an ally of the contemporary wardrobe: bright, structured, and far from being candid.
Pastel has long been confined to clichés of docile femininity, oscillating between the preppy girls of the 2010s and the powdery innocence of modernized fairy tales. But in 2025, fashion has other ambitions. Pastel is mutating , gaining texture, depth, and above all character. No more letting it play second fiddle: it is asserting itself, taking on structure, and getting involved with sharper codes.
At Momoni, it dialogues in fluid and vaporous cuts. Balmain twists it with unexpected knits, cultivating a contrast between raw and sophisticated. Bottega Veneta shakes up the clichés: here, pastel is not wise. It flirts with braided leather, is worn as a moon bag, and invites itself into our daily lives.
At the heart of this chromatic revolution? Pastel yellow. More incisive than a baby pink, more flattering than a sea green, it captures the light with an almost magnetic subtlety. It brightens the complexion without extinguishing it, glides over the silhouettes without freezing them. The perfect alternative to breathe spring freshness, without falling into the vitamin excess of a chick yellow or a garish neon.
In this reinvented pastel momentum, Balzac Paris offers a piece that is both cozy and sharp. Its Scott cardigan , all in soft knit, combines comfort and a masterstroke in terms of cut. With its clean line, discreet buttons and fitted round collar, it fits perfectly with the times: practical, flattering and above all, easy to integrate into any wardrobe.
How to wear pastel yellow without a false note?
The exercise is subtle: too shy, and the “model little girl” effect lurks. Too flashy, and you switch to “ Easter chick ” mode . Pair it with neutral hues for a clean and bright silhouette. Ivory pleated trousers, a pair of nude ankle boots and a crisp poplin shirt will give a minimalist and very fashionable twist. Pastel yellow finds a perfect counterpoint in deep shades like chocolate, navy or charcoal gray.
A brown leather skirt, raw denim or a charcoal blazer give it a more contemporary base. For a more casual effect, we bet on the combo of white t-shirt and slightly oversized washed jeans. A combination that instantly modernizes the softness of pastel and gives it this casual touch, between retro and modern.
