This is for Team Soft Pink as we head into Autumn in the northern hemisphere. Think pink pastels, mid-tones, and antique pinks with a greyed or murky integrity. There are solids and patterns, and an emphasis on neutrals when retailers style these soft pinks in outfits.
Onto some outfit ideas. If the items don’t tickle your fancy, find inspiration in the colour palettes.
1. Antique Pink, Grey, and Chocolate Brown
A pastel antique pink polo sweater is combined with a pair of dark grey wide cropped jeans. A dark chocolate brown complement of tall boots, crossbody bag and belt add a polished touch to the outfit. A mid-tone antique pink jacket that is tonal to the sweater, tops the lot. Delicious colours with the model’s ginger hair.
2. Blush, Tan and Plaid
Blush is a light pink with a tan integrity. Like a pink tan. Here a blush sweater and puffer jacket in almost the same colour create a matched set effect. They top a pair of relaxed straight cropped earthy plaid pants with a blush stripe running through them. Creamy taupe dressy bag and casual lace-up boots complete the look.
3. Rose, Black and Grey
A rose sweater is paired with black slouchy trousers. Black boots match the bottoms and bookend the model’s hair. A charcoal sweater is draped around the model’s shoulders like a scarf. Grey is great with soft pink!
4. Lemonade and Lime
This iteration is my favourite. I love the addition of the lime. With a shorter blazer, you can send the outfit to me. A strawberry lemonade pants suit is combined with a soft pink and lime ‘70s silk blouse. It’s tucked the way most blouses and shirts were in the ‘70s. Cream boots work beautifully with the soft palette, keeping things light and pretty. Add a cream or tan bag to match. Add jewellery, eyewear and watch as desired.
I bat for Team Pink. I enjoy wearing shocking pink and bubblegum pink with a side of neon the most. That said, I enjoy wearing pastel pinks and bat for Team Soft Pink too. Currently, I have these soft pink items in my wardrobe. I wear them with shades of white, blue denim, orange, red, lime and citron. My iPhone case is a soft pastel pink, and I particularly love my pastel pink specs.
How about you?
