Pink, often regarded as the colour of femininity and the sure fire symbol of the ‘girly girl’ can be combined with various colours for a fresh, sophisticated and mature aesthetic. Here are 10 go to pretty pink outfit colour combos that will get you in the mood to wear pink your next OOTD.
Pink
If Barbeiecore didn’t make it obvious enough, pink monochrome outfits do work. Pay attention to texture, patterns, and contrast to create depth and a mature appeal. Shades will play a part in how girlish your outfit looks. Pastel pink looks will be feminine and soft, whereas bold shades like fuchsia will allow some sensuality in your look. Blush and dusty pinks are great for pairing bolder shades of pink and creating contrast. Old rose and baby pink are a great combination; blush pink can be added to this combo if you want another shade in the mix.
Green
Green and pink are complementary colours; they are opposite each other on the colour wheel. Therefore you are bound to get a great contrast when matching the two. Pay attention to proportions when pairing these colours together; they are pretty distinct. You need to balance the colours; you may have a bolder combination than you envisioned, or it may appear disproportionate. Sage green and pale pink is a soft combination that is very feminine. Pistachio or olive green will look lovely with a deeper pink.
Blue
Talk about opposites attract! Blue and pink are often viewed as opposites in a traditional scent – but they can be paired into stunning combinations. If you combine these two colours perfectly, you can create a uniform and balanced aesthetic.
Remember to play with shades: pastel blues with pastel pinks look soft and feminine. You can also combine light pink with navy for a contrasting look with a toned-down version of the ‘frilliness’ of pink if it is not your style. This combination will always be pretty, so don’t be scared to dip your toe into this combo. I can guarantee you have worn pink with blue denim in the past, so there is nothing to be scared of if you’ve already been doing it, right?
Grey
Pink and grey are classic pairings and work well together in different tones and shades. The warmth of pink helps to dilute some go grey’s coolness resulting in a balanced, neutral combo. You can have fun with shades of pink here, as they will all work well with grey, from pale pastel pinks to deeply saturated fuchsia.
White
White and pink create a soft look, and depending on the shade of pink you use can be versatile. Pairing white with a pastel pink will create a light, girly and feminine aesthetic. In contrast, white paired with deeper pinks will offer a maturer, romantic aesthetic. Pairing white with pink also works well if you add another colour to the look, such as a taupe or grey.
Brown
I love the aesthetic formed by pairing brown with pink. dusty pink looks especially great with brown and creates the cutest, most feminine and vintage look. Wear a light cool pink with a warm brown for a dynamic outfit combination and vice versa. Definitely have fun with this combination because the playfulness is the most inviting part of this combo and you can’t go wrong with this timeless combination.
Yellow
Yellow and pink are a show-stopping combo and pair well despite the two being bright shades, and the trick is shade matching for the correct aesthetic.
Buttery yellow goes excellent with vibrant pink, while pale yellows such as a light lemon or canary yellow offer a delicate aesthetic when paired with a pastel rose. Although the pair can sound very girl and ‘soft girl’, experimenting with shades can offer a bolder, eclectic aesthetic such as hot pink with a bright vintage yellow.
Black
Unsurprisingly, pink goes with black as a playful but chic duo. Black tones down the playful girliness of pink, making a feminine but elegant combination. As black is neutral, feel free to play around with shades of pink to get your perfect look. You can combine multiple shades of pink and balance out the proportions with accents of black.
Purple
Pink and purple is a universal dual for the stereotypical girly girl making it feel childlike. The combination can still work to create chic outfits if done right. Using various shades will ensure you lean towards a mature, feminine aesthetic as opposed to an unapologetically girly look. Contrast is essential to provide some depth and minimise the childlike quality of this combo; pastel pinks and purples will offer a soft feminine look, but hot pink and pale purple, such as lavender, will offer a bolder edge. I recommend bringing in a third neutral colour, such as black, white or denim blue.
Beige
Beige goes with pink to create a subtle, mellow but warm combination. Beige allows pink to stay in the spotlight while offering a supportive base colour. Pastel pink and beige provide a soft, delicate approach but a beige paired with a warm pink offers a fiery, vibrant aesthetic. You can play around with this pair, as beige is neutral and will go with all shades. Pay attention to undertones and pair cool tones with each other and, likewise, with warm tones.
Until next time,
Unique
