Fall’s here. Time to put away those pastels.

At Rupiani's, pastels are a no-no. Here are 10 reasons you might decide against them:

1. Staining Issues: Pastel colors can show dirt, sweat, and stains more easily, requiring more frequent washing and care.

2. Limited Versatility: While they can be versatile, pastels might clash with bolder or darker pieces, making it harder to create cohesive outfits.

3. Seasonal Use: They tend to feel more appropriate for spring and summer, potentially limiting their wear throughout the year.

4. Personal Style: If your aesthetic leans toward darker or bolder colors, pastels may not align with your overall wardrobe.

5. Formal Settings: They can come off as too casual for formal business environments or events, limiting their applicability.

6. Color Fading: Light colors can fade faster over time, making them look worn out sooner than darker hues.

7. Skin Tone Compatibility: Not all pastels complement every skin tone, which might make them less flattering for some individuals.

8. Fashion Trends: Trends shift, and pastels may fall out of favor, leading to items that feel outdated sooner.

9. Investment Concerns: If you're looking to build a timeless wardrobe, pastels might not provide the longevity you desire.

10. Care Requirements: Some pastel fabrics may require special washing instructions or gentle handling, adding to the maintenance effort.

So put those pastel shirts away (at least for the rest of the year, but preferably for good), and embrace the colder weather that's upon us!
