NEED TO KNOW
- Celebrity Stylist Kim Appelt shares the hottest colors for this spring: baby blue, light pink, and butter yellow.
- She explains how to style the shades using pieces from Quince’s new spring arrivals.
- Prices start at $30.
With a new season comes a fresh color palette. This spring’s vibe is “soft, fresh, and feminine,” with colors like light pink, baby blue, and butter yellow, says Kim Appelt, a celebrity stylist and author of Style for Everybody: A Guide to Curating Your Essential Wardrobe. “It’s a softer entry to spring. We’re moving away from heavy, saturated tones and into something lighter, calmer, and more uplifting.”
Appelt, who has worked with Ginny & Georgia star Sara Waisglass, among other high-profile clients, suggests incorporating these seasonal hues subtly rather than overhauling your wardrobe in favor of a single shade. Ahead, she shares how to introduce new colors into your outfits using pieces from Quince’s new spring arrivals.

100% European Linen Pants
Baby blue is the “standout color” of the season, according to Appelt. “It has a lightness to it that instantly lifts an outfit,” she says. For example, these breathable, easy-to-wear linen pants “look expensive without trying too hard.” They’re easy to wear like jeans, but more comfortable thanks to the elastic waistband. One fan said they own the pants in “just about every color” and “live in them all summer.”

Seasonal pink hues like this one look “refined,” per Appelt, who recommends pairing it with brown trousers and ballet flats for a “softer way” to incorporate the color that feels “grown-up and pulled together.” We love that these classic cotton Oxford shirts don’t wrinkle as much as linen versions, said one shopper who “wears them on repeat.”

Many people shy away from yellow, but it actually suits most complexions, says Appelt — as long as you find a shade that complements your undertones. A silk skirt like this one is an easy way to try the color. Pair it with a neutral top you already know works for you, and it adds a nice touch of texture. The stretchy waistband ensures you stay comfortable, and the fabric “feels dreamy,” per one reviewer.
