New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer of 2020’s color trends included pastels, a surprising inclusion that proves the trend to be making a comeback in today’s fashion trends. Reminiscent of a unicorn, pastels include colors like baby blue and mint green, as well as soft lavenders and rosy pinks, to name a few. For those who don’t know where to start when it comes to including pastels in your daily style, here are just three simple pastel DIYs to try.
Highlighted hair
For those who wish to commit to the pastel trend without going all-in at the same time, highlighted hair is the way to go to add a subtle pop of unicorn-like colors to your everyday style. While you can definitely achieve such a look at a salon, buying an at-home hair dye kit can allow you to do so at home. Whether you choose to use permanent dye, temporary dye, or even wash out hair chalk, the possibilities are truly endless with the number of looks that can be created. For instance, a streak or two of lavender can work to frame the face, while simply coloring the ends of your hair can make a uniquely bold color statement.
Personalized clothing
When it comes to adding unicorn pastel colors to your own fashion style, you can easily create a number of customized items. For example, you can make over a pair of shoes by drawing on a pattern that includes pastel colors, or patch up your worn out jeans with pastel patches of fabric. For the more ambitious, learning how to draw a unicorn can allow you to create more detailed works of fashion, and you don’t have to be a top-notch artist to do so. With the help of online resources such as step by step guides, you can easily draw a unicorn shape simply by following a few key instructions. For instance, try drawing a unicorn on the back of a denim jacket and using pastel colored gems to outline and jewel the image, which can bring the trend to a whole other level.
Tie dye pastels
Tie dyed clothing is yet another trend that has made a major re-appearance in 2020, making it the perfect, trendy way to bring some pastel into your wardrobe in a do-it-yourself manner. With tie dye kits often found readily available at your local craft store or supermarket, this can be the perfect at-home craft project that allows you to repurpose old clothes with your own personalized colors and patterns. From T-shirts to sweatpants and skirts, there are countless ways that you can bring this trend to your own daily style — even if it’s something as simple as a cloth headband.
For those looking to add a subtle pop of color into their wardrobe, pastels are certainly the way to go — and you don’t have to spend a lot of money to do so. With DIY projects like tie dye, highlighting your hair, or even creating something totally new on your own, there are a number of ways you can bring this trend into your own style.
