Are you planning to wear a pink dress for an event or in your daily life and wondering how to style it? What shoes, bag, and jewelry should you pair it with?
You’ve come to the right place.
Whether it's long or short, dressy or more casual, a pink dress is a wardrobe staple in your closet.
To help you easily match it and create stunning outfits for any occasion, I’m presenting you with this comprehensive guide dedicated to it.
A soft pink dress can be paired with white for a romantic look, or golden or silver accents for a chic bohemian style. If your dress is fuchsia, don’t hesitate to contrast it with dark grey or black, or go for a high-fashion total fuchsia look. Wear your dress with elegant high-heeled shoes (pumps, 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 to Wear with a Pink Dress?
In the world of fashion, pink has the advantage of being a delicate and feminine colour, and it's fairly easy to match. In the following lines, I will introduce you to the shades that pair best with the various tones of pink.
White for a Romantic and Bright Look
Perfect for brightening up your summer outfits, this colour combination works every time, 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 highlight your features.
👉 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 combining two to three different shades of pink, or two shades of pink and white. Mixing colors can help you balance your outfit and give it some style!
Golden Touch for a Boho Chic Style
For an elegant look, you can definitely pair soft pink with gold accessories or metallic clothing. This style will particularly suit those with a warm undertone: this means that your skin is more likely to tan than to burn! To check this, take a look at the veins on your wrist: if you have a warm undertone, they generally appear somewhat greenish under your skin.
Silver for a Sophisticated and Elegant Look
Like light grey, silver metallic shades also blend 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 observe your veins as mentioned earlier. They will likely appear more blue or purple. Additionally, typically, your skin is sensitive to the sun and tends to redden. Therefore, silver, which is a cool colour, will be perfect to enhance your beauty!
With a Fuchsia Dress: Contrasting with Black or a Full Look
Is your dress fuchsia pink? If so, you have several options available to you:
- Pair it with black for a striking contrast, creating the perfect outfit for everyday wear or a night out,
- Soften the intensity of fuchsia pink by wearing it with blush pink, which is ideal for a formal event (wedding, baptism, family gathering...),
- Make a bold statement by wearing your fuchsia dress with vibrant metallic shades, such as teal, metallic pink, etc. Don’t forget to add these shades to your makeup for a truly 90s-inspired look!
What Shoes to Wear with a Pink Dress? 👠
No matter the occasion, wearing a beautiful dress is very convenient since it's a complete outfit in itself. However, once you've selected your dress, it's still 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 are more on the petite side and want to enhance your silhouette, don’t hesitate to wear high-heeled shoes with your pink dress. This could include sandals with a simple heel at the back, platform shoes, or even stilettos.
🔸 Are you wearing your dress for a wedding, a baptism, or a cocktail party? I recommend a pair of pumps, which you can choose in white or matched to your dress in a tone-on-tone style. Black would be more suitable in a strict professional context.
🔸 Is your pink dress more of a bohemian style? Choose sandals that match, featuring wedge soles made of straw and delicate 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 over-the-knee boots. If your dress is longer, go for suede or leather ankle boots. Powder pink goes well with white or light grey tones, while brighter shades of pink are complemented by brown or black.
What jacket to wear with your pink dress? 🧥
No matter the colour or style, finding a jacket that pairs well with a dress isn't always easy. In fact, most of the time, models wear dresses without jackets or coats, and it's rare to see inspiring photographs of complete outfits!
However, wearing a pink dress with a jacket is absolutely doable. Depending on your style and preferences, you can choose to wear:
- a denim jacket, for a boho-chic and relaxed look, perfect for adding a casual touch to a dressed-up outfit or for everyday wear,
- a short white or pink jacket, for an elegant style, that will be just right for a chic outfit,
- a black leather biker jacket, for a bold rock vibe, very modern and trendy, especially paired with a fuchsia dress!
👉 Don't hesitate to wear a beautiful light-coloured shawl with your dress: it will add sophistication and softness to your outfit while keeping you warm!
What clutch goes well with a pink dress? 👝
Having a small bag to store your belongings is always handy: you can put your smartphone, your credit card, and a few other essential items in it! However, if you're wearing a dress for a classy occasion, whether it's for work or a celebration, choosing the right bag requires special attention.
Indeed, a bag that's too large can overshadow your outfit and give it a too-casual vibe: I recommend choosing a clutch or a very small bag instead, from the following options:
- A monochrome rectangular clutch for a polished and elegant look,
- A white leather clutch that can be embellished with pearls or metal hardware (coordinate it with your jewellery!),
- A simple camel bag with a thin strap,
- A bohemian bag made of wicker or straw, perfect for pairing with a dress in the same style!

What Jewellery to Wear with a Blush Pink Dress? 💍
Wearing jewelry is a great way to complete your outfit and feel feminine. It also allows you to showcase your personality and tastes, revealing who you truly are. You can choose from a variety of options:
- Depending on your personality and preferences, you might choose handmade designer costume jewellery or opt for chic, understated pieces in precious metals (like gold or silver...),
- Based on the details of your outfit, coordinating your jewellery with the metallic accents on your shoes, bag, and belt...
- Considering your skin tone, in line with the different undertones discussed in the first part of this guide…
When selecting jewelry to wear with your pink dress, it's best to consider these three factors. Also, think about matching them with each other to create a coordinated set that provides visual connections between:
- your face, adorned with earrings,
- your neckline and shoulders, complemented by a necklace,
- your wrist, adorned with a bracelet,
- and even your ankles, embellished with a delicate ankle bracelet.
I hope this guide has helped you to put together the perfect outfit to enhance your pink dress, no matter the occasion! You now have all the tools you need. 😉
