The Weekend Edit: Pink & Red Outfits To Wear For Valentine’s & Beyond
From oversized suits to slinky slip dresses, here’s how to do pink and red outfits this Valentine’s Day and beyond…
Whether it’s ‘pink and green should never be seen’ or ‘black and blue just won’t do,’ there are some fashion rules that are meant to be broken. Pink and red are another and it’s a look that leans into the romanticism of Valentine’s Day dressing perfectly. It also plays well to a whole matter of looks, whether your style errs on the side of feminine – slinky silk slip dresses paired with cosy fuzzy knits – or nods to a more tomboy aesthetic – think oversized blazers with weekend-worthy trainers.
Scroll for some inspo on our favourite colour combo du jour. And the one rule we stand by? This dopamine dressing-inspired look needn’t be one just reserved for February 14th, but any time you want to inject some colouring-popping fun into your wardrobe.
Instagram-inspired pink and red outfit ideas we’re loving…
Instagram star Hannah Stafford-Taylor tones donne her bubblegum pink co-ord with polished merlot-hued accessories perfectly.
Look 1 – Bouclé Jacket & Jeans
Cut through the girly shades of pink and red, and the polished look of this season’s celebrated bouclé jacket with some light-wash denim. Emilia Wickstead’s jewel-encrusted Margarita pumps add a real life Dorothy finish to the look, whilst ARKET’s sleek scarlet cross-body bag keeps things modern.
Look 2 – Slip Skirt & Fuzzy Knit
When you’re pairing shades of the same tone – such as pink and red – break the look up by mixing layers and texture. We love a slinky slip skirt in blush paired with the moodiness of a merlot fuzzy knit. This season’s knee-high boot of the moment will add a cooler, more grown-up edge to the look.
Look 3 – The Oversized Suit
Just because you’re embracing a heady dose of pink, doesn’t mean you have to go super feminine. Tone the trend down with an oversized suit – The Frankie Shop’s iteration is top of our wish list, but there are plenty on the high street too – and finish off with lowkey accessories like like a cross-body banana bag and the return of the Adidas Gazelle sneaker.
