Soft pastel hues have always been a wearable trend, and colour authority PANTONE has reaffirmed this by anointing two pastel colours of the year. But if we had to pick a favourite, blush pink unanimously takes the crown. Feminine with a hint of sophistication, this understated shade of pink exudes a certain glow that all other pastels can’t match up to.
We have narrowed down 8 blush pink staples every girl needs in her wardrobe this season – these must-haves are not only versatile and effortlessly chic, but also equally flattering on all skin tones.
1. Playsuit
Simple, fuss-free and versatile, throw on a pair of sneakers or lace up sandals and this blush pink playsuit will make the perfect weekend staple. Alternatively, you can always dress it up with heels and a blazer. We are obsessed with the overlay front and cross back detail too – it’s business at the front, party at the back.
2. Bomber Jacket
Bomber jackets are the reigning champs when it comes outerwear, and this pink number from MISSGUIDED is what you need to nail the athleisure look without trying too hard. The ingenious texture blocking of faux suede and satin screams sports luxe.
3. Adidas NMD
Adidas isn’t quite done with their ultra hot NMD. This ruling silhouette returns with a colourway of our summer dreams, featuring a mesh upper of tonal pink that will earn you some serious street cred. The muted pink hues can complement an array of neutral colours, giving you a lot of wear outta these kicks.
4. Peg Trousers
Another wardrobe staple that is endlessly versatile – the number of looks you can create with a pair of peg trousers makes us want to own one in every colour. Regardless of whether you style these for a night out in town or a business meeting, this relaxed fit silhouette in a playful blush pink hue will have you slaying every look.
5. Choker
The hallmark accessory of the ‘90s has resurged once again, and this revival is currently in full swing. Rock the choker trend right with these pink pieces – make a bold statement with furry pom poms (that are super hot this season by the way), or keep it classy with a minimal velvet piece.
6. Bardot Dress
Off-shoulders are everything right now. Loose fitting, breathable and effortlessly chic, these statement suckers are made for our 30-degree weather. Play up your girly side with this frilly off-shoulder swing dress in a flirty shade of pink. Now all you need is a is a cute pair of sandals.
7. Pointed Midi Heels
Maybe sneakers are not your thing, but perhaps these mid-high block heels might be. From jeans to tailored trousers to dresses and skirts of any length, this is a pair of heels that can complement almost any outfit. The big buckles and thick ankle straps lend it a retro vibe, and the low heel is extra forgiving on your feet.
8. Backpack
This minimal backpack is your go-to bag for any casual get-up. Apart from its sleek silhouette, this faux leather beauty is also functional at best. If you’re searching for a heavier duty, school-appropriate bag, the classic Kanken now comes in the most stunning shade of pink.
