Spring is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with new colours, but how do you incorporate seasonal trends that flatter your petite frame and work with your personal colour palette?
In this guide, I’ll explore the top spring colour trends and how to adapt them for a stylish, proportionate look.
Spring 2024 Colour Trends
Each season brings a fresh wave of colours, and this spring is no exception. Here are some key shades trending this year:
Soft Pastels – Think butter yellow, soft lilac, and powder blue.
Earthy Neutrals – Warm beiges, soft taupes, and creamy whites.
Vibrant Corals & Oranges – A bold yet wearable way to brighten up your wardrobe.
Cool Greens & Aqua Blues – Refreshing hues that evoke a calm, natural feel.
Classic Navy & Soft Denim – A great alternative to black for petites.
But not every trend will suit everyone. The key is knowing how to adapt these colours to work for your seasonal palette and petite proportions.
How to Choose the Right Spring Colours for Your Seasonal Palette
To make seasonal colours work for you, consider your personal colour analysis. Here’s how to align these trendy hues with your palette:
Spring & Warm-Toned Women: Opt for warm pastels, golden corals, and fresh greens.
Summer & Cool-Toned Women: Choose soft lilacs, powder blues, and gentle aquas.
Autumn & Rich-Toned Women: Lean into earthy neutrals, warm oranges, and muted corals.
Winter & High-Contrast Women: Pair classic navy with pops of vibrant aqua or icy pastels.

How to Wear Spring Colours as a Petite Woman
When incorporating trends, it’s important to balance proportion and scale to ensure your petite frame isn’t overwhelmed.
Here are some styling tips:
1. Use Trendy Colours as Accent Pieces
Rather than wearing an overpowering head-to-toe colour, introduce trendy hues through accessories, such as:
A coral handbag
A pastel scarf
Aqua-toned shoes
2. Keep It Monochrome or Tonal
Wearing one colour head to toe, or varying shades of the same hue, helps create an elongated silhouette. Try:
A soft lilac blouse with matching trousers
A beige jumpsuit with tonal nude shoes
3. Opt for Petite-Friendly Prints
If you love prints, choose ones incorporating spring colours but in smaller-scale patterns that won’t overwhelm your frame.
4. Use Colour to Highlight Your Best Features
Lighter colours draw attention, so wear them where you want focus (e.g., a powder blue top to highlight your face).
Darker hues recede, making them ideal for areas you want to minimise (e.g., navy trousers for a slimming effect).
