The summer prior saw a collection of candied brights, then winter became more subdued but still intense. This upcoming season will\u00a0bring a\u00a0break from those vivid colours, with pastels\u00a0and\u00a0subtle\u00a0shades setting a gentler and more elegant\u00a0mood. Greys will continue to be a staple, lightening from winter but keeping the clean, unbiased and timeless\u00a0base. The more striking colours will remain abundant, however they will be controlled, and\u00a0broken up with pastels and\u00a0softer textures.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, I have selected a few umbrellas which I think will make a perfect fashion statement next Spring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/umbrellaheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/lisbeth_dahl_pink_glitter_dots.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-158 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/umbrellaheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/lisbeth_dahl_pink_glitter_dots-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umbrellaheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/lisbeth_dahl_pink_glitter_dots-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/umbrellaheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/lisbeth_dahl_pink_glitter_dots-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/umbrellaheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/lisbeth_dahl_pink_glitter_dots.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/umbrellaheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/lisbeth_dahl_mint_glitter_dots.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-157 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/umbrellaheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/lisbeth_dahl_mint_glitter_dots-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umbrellaheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/lisbeth_dahl_mint_glitter_dots-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/umbrellaheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/lisbeth_dahl_mint_glitter_dots-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/umbrellaheaven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/lisbeth_dahl_mint_glitter_dots.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This gorgeous pair from\u00a0Danish designer, Lisbeth Dahl, capture the lovely pastel hues at their finest.
