It’s fair to say I’ve gone a bit pink coat crazy this season. There’s something quite pleasing about the pigment, which seems perfectly fresh for the winter.
As a kid, in my tomboy phase, you wouldn’t have caught me dead in anything so girly. But fast forward a few decades and I’ve softened towards the hue. These days I’m quite partial to anything from a touch of blush (the vino version included obvs!) to a pale pastel, right the way through the spectrum to a hot fucshia.
The winning factor about this colour is that there’s a pink out there for everyone. The darker your skin tone the more feisty the colour you can pull off. If you’re on the pale and interesting side, opt for a pastel or at most a candyfloss pink – anything brighter would wash you out.
To be bang on trend for the season, snag yourself an oversized number and you will have the look pegged.
