Pastels are practically synonymous with spring, so incorporating pretty pastel pieces into our wardrobe is an easy way to welcome the new season.
Not only do pastels add a gentle touch of color to our closets, but they can work for practically any occasion. Think Mother's Day celebrations, in-office attire, outdoor parties, and beyond.
Plus, there are plenty of pastel options to try across multiple retailers, so leaning into this springtime trend doesn't have to break the bank.
Style expert Kathy Buccio is helping "GMA" readers put together three pastel looks for men and women: wedding guest outfits, work looks and weekend looks.

"It's wedding season and that means what are we wearing that fits the season and the weather and I love a pastel gown," Buccio said. "It feels romantic and whimsical."
Buccio adds that lavender, one of the season's biggest trends, works well on all skin types. She styles the look with pearl accessories, like Dolce Vita's platform heels. "They're a heel and a style that can be worn with any pastel look!"
Editor's Note: The Faux Pearl & Rhinestone Crossbody Bag is currently sold out at Forever 21. Try this beaded pearl option from Lulus for a similar look.
"Yes gentlemen! You should be rocking the pastel this season!" Buccio said. Buccio picked this yellow pastel suit from Banana Republic with a white button down for a "more clean and streamlined look."
Buccio also chose a pair of light loafers to complete the outfit. "When we talk footwear for a pastel look, the key is to keep it light -- in color and style.
"Who says you can’t do pastels at the office?" Buccio said. "A pop of pastel in your suiting is the perfect way to add a little personality and fun."
Buccio notes that this spring is all about blue hues, like this Ann Taylor suit.
"It feels timeless and classic without being stuffy," she said, adding that it can also be worn with various shoe options, like the on-trend Mary Jane flat.
Lately "it has been all about Balletcore, and a return to lady like and feminine silhouettes... this is exactly that. They're so versatile and coquettish!"
"I love a weekend look that is cute, comfy and chic," Buccio said, like this SKIMS hoodie in a pretty spring cherry blossom color.
"You can style it in different ways!" Buccio added, try layering it with a tank or tee underneath or wear it on its own. Then, pair it with different bottoms: the SKIMS matching joggers, for example, or a pair of denim jeans.
"In terms of denim, go for a lighter wash this spring," Buccio says. "And it's all about the barrel jean this season. We like it to be baggy without looking unflattering and I love thes from Free People."
Complete the look with sneakers and a crossbody bag and you're ready to go!
