What to Wear with a Pink Dress?

Are you planning to wear a pink dress for an event or just for everyday wear and wondering how to style it? What shoes, bag, and jewellery should you pair it with?

You've come to the right place.

Whether it's long or short, dressed up or more casual, a pink dress is a wardrobe staple you can rely on.

To help you easily match it and create stunning outfits for any occasion, today I present to you this comprehensive guide dedicated to it.

A powder pink dress can be paired with white for a romantic look, or with gold or silver for a chic bohemian style. If your dress is fuchsia, don’t hesitate to contrast it with dark grey or black, or create a high-fashion look with an all-fuchsia ensemble. Team your dress with elegant and feminine heels (stilettos, wedge sandals, ankle boots). Feel free to match it with a simple leather clutch in the same colour as your shoes, along with gold or silver jewellery, depending on what complements your skin tone best.

What Colours Go Well with a Pink Dress?

In the world of fashion, pink is a delicate and feminine colour that pairs quite easily with other shades. In the following lines, I’ll introduce you to the hues that complement the various tones of pink the best.

White for a Romantic and Bright Look

Perfect for brightening up your summer outfits, this colour combination is always a winner, as long as the pink isn't too dark. If you’re wearing an outfit that shows off your shoulders or legs, it’s a great way to enhance your skin and flatter your figure.

👉 You can also replace white with another shade of pink, especially if your dress is candy pink or dark pink. In this case, you can create a monochromatic look by pairing two to three different shades of pink, or combining two shades of pink with white. Mixing colours can help balance your outfit and add some flair to your style!

Gold for a Bohemian Chic Style

For an elegant result, you can definitely pair soft pink with gold accessories or metallic clothing. This look will particularly suit those with a warm undertone: this means that your skin tends to tan rather than burn! To check this, look at the veins on your wrist: if your undertone is warm, they usually appear to be more green under your skin.

Silver for a Chic and Elegant Look

Like light grey, silver metallic shades also pair beautifully with pink, even darker shades. They are particularly suited for those with a cool skin tone. To determine if this applies to you, you can, as mentioned earlier, check the colour of your veins. They will likely appear more blue or purple. Additionally, typically, your skin is sensitive to sunlight and tends to redden. Therefore, silver, which is a cool colour, will be perfect to enhance your look!

With a fuchsia dress: black for contrast or a total look

Your dress is fuchsia? In that case, you have several options available to you:

  • Pair it with black for a contrasting look, perfect for everyday wear or a night out,
  • Soften the intensity of fuchsia pink by wearing it with soft pink, ideal for a dressy occasion (weddings, christenings, family gatherings...),
  • Be bold and style your fuchsia dress with colourful metallic shades, like duck blue, metallic pink, etc. You can also incorporate these colours into your makeup for a super trendy 90s vibe!

What Shoes to Wear with a Pink Dress? 👠

No matter the occasion, wearing a beautiful dress is incredibly handy, as it’s a complete outfit in itself. However, once you’ve selected your dress, it’s equally important to pay special attention to your choice of shoes.

Here are a few simple tips to help you choose the perfect pair:

🔸 If you're on the petite side and want to accentuate your figure, don’t hesitate to wear heels with your pink dress. You can choose from simple heeled sandals, wedges, or even stilettos.

🔸 Are you wearing your dress for a wedding, baptism, or a cocktail event? I recommend a pair of heels, which you can choose in white or matched to your dress in a similar shade. Black would be more suitable for a formal professional setting.

🔸 Is your pink dress quite bohemian? Go for sandals in the same style, featuring woven wedge soles and slim straps, to create a chic and comfortable summer look.

🔸 Would you like to wear your pink dress in winter? If it falls above the knees, you can pair it with a light grey thigh-high boots. If your dress is longer, choose suede or leather ankle boots. Powder pink goes well with white or light grey, while a deeper pink will be complemented by brown or black.

What jacket should you wear with your pink dress? 🧥

No matter the shade or style, finding a jacket that goes well with a dress can be quite a challenge. Often, models are seen wearing dresses without any jacket or coat, and it’s rare to come across inspiring photographs of complete outfits!

However, wearing a pink dress with a jacket is definitely possible. Depending on your style and preferences, you can pair it with:

  • a denim jacket, for a bohemian-chic and laid-back look, perfect for adding a casual touch to a dressed-up outfit or for everyday wear,
  • a short white or pink jacket, for a smart style, which is ideal for a chic outfit,
  • a black leather perfecto, for a bold rock vibe, very modern and on-trend, especially with a fuchsia dress!

👉 Don't hesitate to wear a lovely light-coloured shawl with your dress: it will add sophistication and softness to your outfit, while keeping you warm!

What clutch goes with a pink dress? 👝

Having a small bag to keep your belongings is always handy: you can throw in your smartphone, credit card, and a few other essential items! However, if you're wearing a dress in a smart setting, whether it's for work or a celebration, choosing the right bag requires special consideration.

In fact, a bag that’s too large can spoil your outfit and make it look too casual. I recommend opting for a clutch or a small bag instead, from the following styles:

  • A tonal rectangular clutch for a dressed-up and elegant look,
  • A white leather clutch that can be adorned with beads or metallic hardware (match it with your jewellery!),
  • A simple camel-coloured bag with a slim shoulder strap,
  • A bohemian bag made of wicker or straw, perfect with a dress in a similar style!

What jewellery to wear with a blush pink dress? 💍

Wearing jewellery is a brilliant way to complete your outfit and feel feminine. It also allows you to express your personality and tastes, showcasing who you truly are. You can choose them carefully:

  • Depending on your personality and personal preferences, you might choose to go for artisan designer costume jewellery or opt for chic and understated pieces made from precious metals (gold, silver…),
  • Based on the details of your outfit, especially matching them with the metallic accents on your shoes, bag, belt…
  • Considering your skin tone, in alignment with the types of undertones discussed in the first part of this guide…

When choosing jewellery to wear with your pink dress, it's best to consider these three key factors. Also, think about matching the pieces together to create a harmonious ensemble that will provide visual connections between them:

  • your face, adorned with some earrings,
  • your neckline and shoulders, highlighted by a necklace,
  • your wrist, styled with a bracelet,
  • and even your ankles, complemented by a delicate ankle bracelet.
