Wear Pink With These Surprising Colors for Instant Fashion Cred

Barbiecore is the biggest fashion trend to hit the scene since skinny jeans.

And while its prominence might be fading fast, I’m not going to let that stop me from broaden your love of all things pink by showing you how to pair it with other colors of the rainbow.

Because, let’s face it; pink will always be on trend.

Whether you prefer a little or a lot of this vibrant shade, here’s how to make it work with all the other colors in your closet.

Pink color combo #1 | Pink + Lilac

This ultra-girly color combo lets you combine two of the year’s hottest shades. Pink and purple.

But not just any purple; the soft and sweet tones of lavender.

Pink and lilac is a pairing for anyone who likes to fully embrace their feminine side.

But if you’re bored of quiet luxury’s neutral color palette, give this combination a go.

Pink color combo #7 | Pink + Navy blue

If you love the stark contrast between pink and black (don’t worry I’ve featured that pairing below), give pink and navy blue a try for a softer take.
