I'm a Born-Again Pink Fan, and These Are My Favourite Pieces

While colour trends come and go, there’s one hue that’s proven itself to have a longer life span than the rest: pink. Having dominated the rails of the shops and our wardrobes alike last year, it seems our love affair with pink has progressed from a casual fashion fling to a full-blown relationship that stands the test of time.

With the designers at Valentino, Prada and Versace sending magenta-clad models down the runways, and a brand-new Barbie film on the horizon—Barbiecore is a thing now, by the way—it feels like pink is having yet another moment. And this time around, it's hotter and more vibrant than ever.

Choose a coat in a vibrant pink hue, and you're guaranteed to turn heads. We think you'll agree the pink pieces really pop here—this group snap gives us some fresh colour-clashing inspiration, too.

2. PINK DRESSES

Pink can be tricky to wear, especially if you're new to the colour, so a rosy frock is a strong starting point. Just team it with black accessories, and let the dress do the talking.

3. PINK KNITWEAR

Sling a pink knit over your shoulder to throw on when you're feeling the chill. This is such an easy way to add the shade into your wardrobe and perfectly timed for the incoming cold months.

4. PINK TAILORING

Top-to-toe pink? I'm on board. Magenta suiting feels like a modern take on Barbie's style—plus it's a unique option for winter weddings.

5. PINK TOPS

You can create an interesting tonal look with a stunning blouse as a base. Designers and high-street brands alike have been dropping plenty of rich iterations.

6. PINK SKIRTS

For evenings out and elevated everyday looks, opt for a silky slip skirt or knitted style in a bright-pink hue. You can keep the rest of the outfit simple, or team it with a tangerine orange like Jeanette Madsen did.

7. PINK BAGS

Feeling a little nervous to go full-on pink? Tap into the trend in a small way, and add a fuchsia handbag to your otherwise neutral look. Pink and black is a truly timeless combination.

8. PINK SHOES
