What’s your favourite colour? If it’s pink, then you’re one of many who are big fans of this colour. However, wearing pink may not always translate well when it comes to clothing and dressing up. Of course, we’re not saying that if you want to wear pink, you shouldn’t go ahead and do so because you should. What we’re saying is there are certain ways to wear a pink ensemble without overwhelming the senses.

Here are five fashion-forward tips on how to wear pink:

Wear pink with neutral colors
Pink is a difficult colour to match with other items in your closet. One sure way to dress up in pink is to pair it with other clothing items in basic neutral colours such as black, grey, navy, brown, khaki, and white. You can also accessorize with metal colours that are considered fashion neutrals, including gold, silver, copper, gunmetal, bronze, and pewter. These create a refined and chic overall look.

Let’s look at pink and black pairs, for example. Pink is said to soften black, while black also gives pink an edgy quality. So pairing these two colours for prom should make an interesting ensemble. For example, Peaches Boutique showcases pink prom dresses 2019 and if you choose a hot pink dress from the collection, you can pair this with a black leather jacket or you can accessorize with black, white gold, or silver jewelleries and you’ll definitely be a stunner.

Wear a shade of pink that complements your skin

A great way to wear your favourite colour is by wearing a pink dress or coat. Simply choose a shade that does not clash with your skin tone and a dress style that flatters your shape and body type. Light and paler shades of pink and pastel variants have an elegant and feminine charm. Bright and bold shades of pink create a more edgy appeal.

Vibrant pinks and fuchsia shades flatter olive skin tones while blush and pale pink shades do well for neutral and fair skin colours. If you have skin tones somewhere in the middle ranges, you can wear just about any shade of pink, just not one that is too light or too bold.

Go for texture and structure
One way to make clothes more visually interesting is to go for texture and structure. The same goes for pink items like cardigans and jackets. For example, wearing a romantic pink cardigan with whites and neutrals for events held during summer look dainty and elegant. A pale pink biker jacket or a faux suede jacket can also make an outfit extra interesting to the eyes.

Choose the right dress cut and fit
Any piece of clothing can look chic and fashion forward if it’s cut perfectly and well-tailored. So if you want to wear a pink ensemble, make sure that it fits you well and has a flattering cut. Stay away from shapeless, voluminous, or fluffy clothing pieces unless you want to look like a little girl in a tutu. Opt for a sleek shift dress or a well-fitting mini dress that looks both stylish and professional.

Accentuate with pink instead

Use pink as an accent instead of wearing one big pink affair. Adding a touch of pink is the perfect way to give a feminine emphasis to your look. Pink accessories can used as a great accent for a neutral outfit, like a pink belt for a white dress or hot pink pumps for a denim ensemble. Fuchsia, bubblegum pink, and blush tones especially look great as accents for any shade of denim.

With the tips above, you should be able to rock this pretty colour.
