What to wear with a pink dress?

Are you planning to wear a pink dress for an event or just in your everyday life, and wondering how to make it stand out? What shoes, bag, and jewellery should you pair with it?

You're in the right place.

Whether it's long or short, dressed up or more casual, a pink dress is a wardrobe staple in your closet.

To help you easily coordinate and create stunning outfits for every occasion, I’m pleased to present this comprehensive guide dedicated to this topic.

A soft pink dress can be paired with white for a romantic look, or with gold or silver for a chic bohemian vibe. If your dress is a fuchsia shade, feel free to contrast it with dark grey or black, or go for a high-fashion style with a complete fuchsia ensemble. Wear your dress with elegant, feminine heels (such as stilettos, wedge sandals, or ankle boots). Don’t hesitate to match it with a simple leather clutch in the same colour as your shoes, along with gold or silver jewellery, depending on what suits your complexion best.

What Colours to Wear with a Pink Dress?

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

White for a Romantic and Bright Look

Perfect for brightening up your summer outfits, this colour combination works wonders, 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 showcase 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 an ombré effect by combining two to three different shades of pink, or two shades of pink with white. Mixing colours can help you balance your outfit and give it a stylish flair!

Golden Touch for a Boho Chic Style

For an elegant result, you can easily combine pastel pink with golden accessories or metallic clothing. This look will particularly suit those with a warm skin undertone: this means your skin tends to tan rather than burn! To check this, look at the veins on your wrist: if your skin undertone is warm, they usually appear rather green beneath your skin.

Silver for an Elegant and Dressed Look

Like light grey, metallic silver shades pair beautifully with pink, even darker variations. They are particularly flattering for those with a cool skin undertone. To determine if this applies to you, as mentioned earlier, you can look at your veins. They will likely appear blue or purple. Additionally, traditionally, your skin is sensitive to sunlight and tends to redden. Therefore, silver, being a cool colour, will be perfect to enhance your beauty!

Wearing a Fuchsia Dress: Black as a Contrast or a Total Look

Is your dress fuchsia pink? If so, you have several options to choose from:

• Pairing it with black for a striking contrast, creating a perfect outfit for everyday wear or a night out,
• Softening the intensity of fuchsia pink by wearing it with blush pink, which is ideal for a dressed-up occasion (wedding, christening, family gathering...),
• Embracing originality by wearing your fuchsia dress with colourful metallic shades, such as teal, metallic pink, etc... You can also incorporate them into your makeup for a truly 90s vibe!

What shoes to wear with a pink dress? 👠

No matter the occasion, wearing a lovely dress is incredibly convenient, as it’s an all-in-one outfit. However, once you’ve picked out your dress, it’s still important to pay special attention to your choice of shoes.

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

🔸 If you’re on the petite side and want to enhance your silhouette, don’t hesitate to wear high-heeled shoes with your pink dress. This could be simple heeled sandals at the back, wedges, or even stilettos.

🔸 Are you wearing your dress for a wedding, a christening, or a cocktail party? I recommend a pair of high heels, which you can choose in white or in a matching tone that complements your dress. Black is more suitable for a formal work setting.

🔸 Is your pink dress quite bohemian? Choose sandals in the same style, featuring wedge soles made of straw and thin straps, to create a chic and comfortable summer look.

🔸 Would you like to wear your pink dress in winter? If it falls above the knee, you can pair it with a light grey thigh-high boots. If your dress is longer, choose ankle boots in suede or leather. Pale pink pairs well with white or light grey tones, whereas a more vibrant pink will be complemented by brown or black.

What jacket to wear with your pink dress? 🧥

No matter its colour or style, finding a jacket that pairs well with a dress can be quite a challenge. Most of the time, models are seen wearing dresses without any jackets or coats, and it’s rare to come across inspiring photographs of complete outfits!

However, it's definitely possible to wear a pink dress with a jacket. Depending on your style and taste, you could go for:

• a denim jacket, perfect for a bohemian-chic and casual look, ideal for adding a laid-back vibe to a dressed-up outfit or for everyday wear,
• a short white or pink jacket, for a smart style, which will work wonderfully for a chic outfit,
• a black leather biker jacket, for a bold rock vibe, very modern and trendy, especially when paired with a fuchsia dress!

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

What clutch goes with a pink dress? 👝

Having a small bag to keep your things organised is always handy: you can put your smartphone, your bank card, and a few other essential items in it! However, when wearing a dress for a classy occasion, whether it's for work or a celebration, choosing the right bag requires special attention.

In fact, a bag that’s too large can ruin your outfit and make it look too casual. I recommend going for a clutch or a much smaller bag from the following options:

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

What jewellery to wear with a dusty pink dress? 💍

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

• Depending on your personality and your preferences, you might choose between handmade designer costume jewellery or elegant, understated pieces made from precious metals (gold, silver, etc.),
• In relation to the details of your outfit, particularly by coordinating with the metallic elements on your shoes, bag, and belt…
• Based on the tone of your skin, in line with the types of undertones discussed in the first part of this guide…

When selecting jewellery to wear with your pink dress, it's best to consider these three factors. Also, think about coordinating them with each other to create a harmonious set, which will provide visual links between:

• your face, adorned with earrings,
• your décolletage and shoulders, embellished with a necklace,
• your wrist, decorated with a bracelet,
• and even your ankles, adorned with a delicate ankle bracelet.

I hope this guide has helped you to create the perfect outfit to enhance your pink dress, no matter the occasion! You now have all the tools you need. 😉
