What to Wear with a Pink Dress?

Are you planning to wear a pink dress for an event or just in your daily life 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, dressy or more casual, a pink dress is a reliable choice in your wardrobe.

To help you easily match it and create stunning outfits for every occasion, I'm sharing this comprehensive guide dedicated to it today.

A soft pink dress can be paired with white for a romantic style, or with gold or silver for a chic bohemian look. If your dress is fuchsia, don't hesitate to contrast it with dark grey or black, or create a high-fashion look with a complete fuchsia ensemble. Wear your dress with elegant and feminine heels (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 suits 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 quite easy to match. In the following sections, I’ll share which shades 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 never fails, 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 the white with another shade of pink, especially if your dress is candy pink or dark pink. In this case, you can create a tonal effect by pairing two to three different shades of pink, or two different pinks with white. Mixing the colours can help balance your outfit and give it some flair!

Gold for a Boho Chic Style

For an elegant look, you can definitely pair soft pink with gold accessories or metallic clothing. This style works particularly well for those with a warm skin undertone: this means your skin tends to tan rather than redden! To check this, take a look at the veins on your wrist: if your skin undertone is warm, they usually appear more greenish beneath your skin.

Silver for an Elegant and Chic Look

Like light grey, silver metallic shades pair beautifully with pink, even darker hues. They are particularly suited for those with a cool skin tone. To determine if this applies to you, as mentioned before, take a look at your veins. They are likely to appear blue or purple. Additionally, if your skin is typically sensitive to the sun and tends to redden, then silver, being a cool colour, will enhance your features perfectly!

With a fuchsia dress: contrasting black or a complete look

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

  • 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 teaming it with blush pink, which is ideal for a dressed-up event (wedding, christening, family gathering, etc.),
  • embrace originality by wearing your fuchsia dress with colourful metallic shades, like teal, metallic pink, and so on. You can even incorporate these tones into your makeup for a truly retro 90s vibe!

What Shoes to Wear with a Pink Dress? 👠

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

Here are a few 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 some heels with your pink dress. These could be simple back-heeled sandals, wedges, or even stilettos.

🔸 Are you wearing your dress for a wedding, a baptism, or a cocktail event? I recommend a pair of high heels, which you can choose in white or match with your dress, keeping it tonal. Black is more suitable for a formal work environment.

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

🔸 Want to wear your pink dress in winter? If it falls above the knees, you can pair it with a light grey pair of over-the-knee boots. If your dress is longer, go for suede or leather ankle boots. Powder pink works well with light white or grey tones, while a deeper pink will be accentuated by brown or black.

What jacket to wear with your pink dress? 🧥

No matter its colour or style, finding a jacket that matches a dress isn't always an easy task. In fact, most of the time, models wear dresses without a jacket or coat, and it’s rare to come across inspiring photos of complete outfits!

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

  • a denim jacket for a boho-chic and casual look, perfect for adding a laid-back vibe to a dressed-up outfit or for everyday wear,
  • a short white or pink jacket for an elegant style, which is ideal for a chic ensemble,
  • 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 lovely light-coloured shawl with your dress: it will add sophistication and a touch of warmth to your outfit while keeping you cosy!

What clutch goes with a pink dress? 👝

Having a small bag to keep your belongings is always handy: you can store your smartphone, credit card, and a few other essential items in it! However, when wearing a dress for a smart occasion, whether professional or festive, choosing the right bag requires special attention.

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

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

What Jewellery to Wear with a Soft Pink Dress? 💍

Wearing jewellery is a fantastic 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 them:

  • Depending on your personality and preferences, you might choose to go for unique designer pieces or opt for chic and understated jewellery made from precious metals (gold, silver, etc.),
  • Based on the details of your outfit, particularly coordinating with the metal accents on your shoes, handbag, belt, etc.,
  • Considering your skin tone, in line with the types of undertones mentioned in the first part of this guide...

When choosing jewellery to wear with your pink dress, it's best to consider these three factors. Also, think about matching them to each other, so that you can create a harmonious set that establishes visual connections between:

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