How to Wear a Pink Dress



A pink dress is a feminine look that can work on almost anyone. Let this classic item be a staple in your wardrobe and wear it whenever you want to show your softer side yet still be in style.







Things You'll Need:





Pink dress



Nude shoes



Red flats



Black cardigan



Black shoes



Navy wrap sweater



Brown blazer









Step
1



Find a pink dress that you can dress up or down to make it work in a variety of situations. Look for a matte jersey, lycra blend or cotton fabric that will be easy to wear and comfortable.




Step
2



Consider solid dresses, stripes and floral prints. These options can take pink in a variety of directions so you can find the look that best suits your taste and your lifestyle.




Step
3



Work pink to its best advantage. Look for a shade that makes your skin and hair color glow. Pinks with salmon undertones can be soft and flattering. Ballet pinks with a hint of gold work well for blonde and fair skinned women. Hot pinks and fuschias can pop against darker hair and skin tones.




Step
4



Pair pink with black, navy, brown or gray sweaters, shoes or other accessories for a sophisticated take on the color. Try a navy wrap sweater or brown blazer to change the look of a pink dress and give it a more edge for a corporate setting.




Step

Wear a pearl necklace and demure nude flats for a classic look for a
date
or special occassion. Give pink a European edge by adding a black cardigan and black shoes.




Step
6



Treat soft shades of pink as a neutral to make it work year-round. You can add a dark gray or brown sweater and gray boots to make it look appropriate even in the colder months.







Tips & Warnings









You can completely change the look of a pink dress by layering a darker, or lighter, blouse or sweater over it and making it look like a skirt.








Since pink is a classic color, you can look for trendier cuts and styles to make it look fashion forward.








Show your style by pairing red flats or a red bead necklace with a pink dress. This combination will turn heads.








Avoid looking too predictable. Dressing in all pink can look too sweet or young, so be sure to add some other colors in your shoes and accessories to make your outfit look age appropriate.
