While pastel colors worn head to toe look very cute on babies and other children, older adults end up looking like cream puffs most of the time. For some reason, when it comes to light colors, it makes older women look rather washed out rather than looking elegant and stylish. While more mature adults don’t need to stay away from all pastels, they should however, keep it to a minimum. Unless you don’t mind looking like an overly embellished cupcake, then pair your pastels with something darker and more polished so you don’t look like a little kid.
