Pastels Are Back, and They Mean Business
Pastel power dressing is no longer a “bold choice”—it’s the choice.
A man in a blush-pink suit with a sunshine-yellow shirt, sitting on a mustard retro armchair, is rewriting the rules of style.
Pastels symbolize confidence, freshness, and individuality in a world that often leans toward monotone.
The Retro Studio Look
The photo setup says it all—vintage TVs stacked in a corner, mid-century mustard furniture, and classic studio lights shining bright.
It’s nostalgia meets modern minimalism, making the look timeless yet trendy.
