Often times, especially as we get older, we tend to shy away from wearing pink. We either refuse to come across as if we’re playing princess or just feel that the look is too frilly. But, wearing pink can be a successfully chic route to take. The key is to treat it like a warmer neutral with endless color, texture, and print combinations. At the recent New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks, the streets were awash with all shades of pink. From dusky delicate, rose hues to show-stopping electric pinks, the fun and joyful shade is definitely one of the colours to be seen in this season.

If you’re wondering how to wear pink and make it easier, add a bit of texture. Texture always gives pink a little edge and adds visual interest that immediately makes a look more chic and multi-dimensional. Pink can be universally flattering. Especially a rose hue, which does not wash out lighter skin tones or contrast too harshly on darker skin tones. It actually warms, which is an exciting characteristic to play with. Embrace tonal dressing this season by pairing hot pink shades with soft blush hues to create a look that’s street style worthy.

While pink is undoubtedly a pretty colour, gone are the days where wearing pink had to equate to an ultra-feminine look. However, if you’re still wary of the colour’s former reputation as a girly shade there are easy ways to dress pink down and give it a modern edge. Try pairing bright pops of pink with a touch of denim or leather; team your all-pink ensemble with a pair of chunky combat boots or Dad sneakers; or try investing in menswear-inspired silhouettes in various shades of pink. Accessories are the finishing touch on any look and adding a statement handbag and jewellery is another way to give your head-to-toe pink ensemble a point of difference.
