Pink to make the boys wink!

Pink clothes and accessories are often associated with little girls. Pink is flattering and it is a very feminine colour to wear. Pink clothes and accessories have a place in any women’s wardrobe regardless of their age; it can look very good in most women; you just need to find the right shade that suits your skin tone and the right accessories to dress up or down your pink outfit. Wear it with black, which is always chic and in, and it never looks outdated.
The pink and black combination is a dateless combination. It is not just a fashion trend but it is more of a solution to dress up or down and outfit. Just topping off an all black look with vibrant pink accessories, is definitely a fun way to stand out.
For older women or women who need to dress for office work adding a pink accessory to a black outfit –like a scarf, a jacket, a trench coat, a computer bag or shoes- is a way to keep up with fashion, looking modern without looking like a fashion victim.

What Pink shade suits me?

• For warm skin tones, that is golden or olive skin with green or dark eyes; warm pinks (with a touch of orange) and earthy pinks (with a touch of brown) look great.
• For cool skin tones a bold pink and pinks with a hint of blue in it are the best.
• Most skin tones look great in fuchsia.

Wearing a hot and bright pink dress with black accents will definitely turn heads!
Very young women can get away wearing most shades of pink, from a very pale, almost nude pink to bright bold fuchsia.
Older women will look better in soft shades of pink as the bright shades can accentuate wrinkles and expression lines on the face and neck.
If you want to wear pale and pastel pinks it is better if you match it with a neutral tone like black. Matching a pastel pink with another pastel colour will make you look “too cute”.
If you are determine to wear bright pinks and fuchsias regardless of your age, a touch of fuchsia on a black outfit will be better than a whole fuchsia dress.
