On Spring days, we wear pink

Pink outfit ideas to try today

If there is a colour that celebrities and designers alike have tipped as the colour to wear this Spring, that is pink in all its shades. Don’t stop at millennial pink: from blush to orchid, honeysuckle to fuchsia, this is one trend we are betting on this season. Even the Duchess of Cambridge was recently spotted wearing a matching bubblegum pink coat and jumper outfit during an official engagement.

Many designers such as Valentino, Chanel, Versace or Moshino chose a myriad of pink shades during their shows for Spring-Summer 2021 and it was ever-present on clothing, accessories and even make-up.

We are tickled pink this season

It’s unsurprising that, on such an uncertain year, catwalks and wardrobes are full of all shades of pink. We are collectively looking to lift our mood and have chosen a colour to bring happiness and vibrancy to our day-to-day lives, just as a careful optimism is landing on our everyday lives. Feminin, romantic, calm, but also strong, cheerful and confident…what’s not to love?

What shade of pink will look best on you

At Lookiero, we use colourimetry as a tool to determine what colour will suit each woman better. If you haven’t already found out what season best depicts you, click here to read more.

Pink is a versatile colour and its many shades make it easy to find a hue to suit your skin tone and natural colouring. We have made it even simpler by helping you choose based on what season best represents your colouring.

If you are winter, we recommend choosing bold shades and wearing fuchsia or cyclamen.

If you are summer, we advise that you opt for cooler shades, closer to mauve, as well as pastel or nude options.

If you are autumn, a pink that leans towards orange, peach or salmon shades will lighten up your complexion.

If you are spring, coral was made for you! It will make you shine.

What colours go with pink?

We receive many messages asking our Personal Shoppers for help finding colours that match with pink. Let us guide you through some options that will bring a renewed freshness and optimism to your Spring looks!

1. Wear pink with blue

An intense shade of blue, such as azure, cobalt or Klein, works well as a contrast to lighter, pastel pinks, and brings energy to those more relaxed shades. We love looks with pink trousers, and have paired a high-waisted pair in a pastel shade with a sky blue cami. A suede biker in a similar shade of blue brings the sweetness of the look down and gives it an edgy finish.

2. Mix pink with red

What better way to mix pink and red than with one item that marries three different trends for Spring! Pink is the colour, flowers are the print, and a dress is the item that you just need! Just think of wearing this floral maxi dress in pink and red shades this summer; a red leather clutch and a nude pink biker would round up the outfit and ensure all eyes are on you!


3. Sweeten pink with white

One of the rules any fashionista lives by is that white goes with everything, and this is indeed true for pink. If you like outfits that ooze sweetness and femininity, choose a blouse in light pink or nude (extra points for ruffles!). Keep the rest of the look white, for example with some well-fitting white jeans and a light knit. If you prefer stronger looks or nude shades don’t work well with your complexion, you can follow the same guidelines to create an outfit that matches white with brighter shades of pink, and it will look amazing every time.

4. Match pink with green

You may have never thought of trying this combination, but as pink and green are complimentary on the colour wheel, together they look fantastic. According to colour theory, pink and green bring the maximum contrast, meaning that whether you prefer khaki or mint, there is a shade of pink that goes with it.
How do you wear pink with green? We love a blush cardigan with a mint culotte. Mixing pastels is another trend that will be popular this season. Throw over a flower scarf for a touch of colour and a fresh look that’s flattering and perfect for Spring.

5. A total look in pink

A monochromatic look is flattering in any shade, as the impression an only colour gives to the eye is of a slimmer and streamlined silhouette. This Spring, we encourage you to be bold and try a total look in pink. You can choose any shade and any items you love best, but today we bring you a shirt, a midi skirt and a clutch as a trendy suggestion that you can dress up or down. Finish off the look with some high heels if you are heading to a more formal setting, or choose some trainers to bring style and comfort to the outfit.
