In praise of pink

Pink for SS17.

If you had told my former tomboy self that I might have a bit of a thing for pink in my old age, my tomboy self would have fallen off her bar stool laughing (possibly spilling her pint of cider over her artfully home bleached skinny jeans along the way). Fast forward to my more grown up self, and it’s fair to say I am quite partial to this girly hue, and it’s not just because of the feminine ramifications. I actually think there’s a pink shade out there for everyone, and this season is the time to find the perfect one for you.

This season there’s lots of talk about pairing your pink with your red… which is all very well if you’re a fan of bold colour blocking. But for the slightly more timid fashionistas amongst us, perking up your outfit with a little pink is a very good place to start.

This J.Crew cable knit is on sale right now here. I paired it with these gorgeous Maddie pants (also J.Crew) which come in a pile of different colours which not only have a nice wool blend luxe feel but also have an extra bit of stretch in them too – which makes them uber comfy BTW. My favourite Aquazzura nude heels and Chloe Drew bag complete the look.

Pink pieces to love for SS17

When adding a new colour to your closet, it’s a good idea to start out small (unless you already know you love it obvs!) Road test your new shade through the medium of a tee-shirt or an accessory or two until you achieve your comfort zone.
