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 accessories should you pair it with?

You're in the right place.

Whether it's long or short, formal or casual, a pink dress is a reliable staple in your wardrobe.

To help you match it easily and create stunning outfits for any occasion, I’m excited to share this comprehensive guide dedicated to it.

A dusty pink dress can be paired with white for a romantic look, or with gold or silver for a bohemian chic vibe. If your dress is fuchsia, feel free to contrast it with dark grey or black, or create a high-fashion style with an all-fuchsia look. Wear your dress with elegant and feminine high-heeled shoes (like pumps, 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 complements your skin tone best.

What Colours to Wear with a Pink Dress?

In the fashion world, pink is a delicate and feminine colour, and quite easy to match. In the following sections, I’ll 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 always works well, as long as the pink isn't too dark. If you're wearing an outfit that exposes 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 by pairing two different pinks with white. Mixing the colors can help you balance your outfit and give it some flair!

Gold for a Bohemian Chic Style

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

Silver for a Stylish and Elegant Look

Just like light grey, metallic silver shades go really well with pink, even darker ones. They are especially flattering for those with a cool skin tone. To check if this applies to you, you can observe your veins as mentioned earlier. They are likely to 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 look!

With a fuchsia dress: contrasting with black or a total look

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

• Pair it with black for a striking contrast, creating a perfect outfit for everyday wear or a night out,
• Soften the intensity of fuchsia pink by wearing it with powder pink, which is ideal for a formal event (wedding, baptism, family gathering…),
• Be original and wear your fuchsia dress with colourful metallic shades, such as teal, metallic pink, etc. You can even incorporate these shades into your makeup for a fabulous 90s vibe!

What shoes to wear with a pink dress? 👠

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

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 some heels with your pink dress. You can go for sandals with a simple heel at the back, wedges, or even stilettos.

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

🔸 Is your pink dress quite bohemian? Go for sandals in the same style, featuring wedge straw soles and delicate straps, to put together 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 over-the-knee boots. For longer dresses, go for suede or leather ankle boots. A soft pink will match well with white or light grey tones, while a bolder pink will pop with brown or black.

What jacket should you wear with your pink dress? 🧥

No matter the colour or style, finding a jacket that pairs well with a dress isn’t always easy. Most of the time, models wear dresses without a jacket or coat, and it’s rare to come across inspiring photos of complete outfits!

But 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 boho-chic and relaxed look, perfect for adding a casual vibe to a smart outfit or great for everyday wear,
• a short white or pink jacket, for a stylish appearance, which will be perfect for a chic outfit,
• a black leather biker jacket, for a bold rock aesthetic, 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 warmth to your outfit, while keeping you cosy!

What clutch goes well with a pink dress? 👝

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

In fact, a bag that's too big can spoil your outfit and make it look too casual. I recommend that you go for a clutch or a small bag instead. Here are some options to consider:

• A ton-sur-ton rectangular clutch for a dressy and elegant look,
• A white leather clutch that can be adorned with beads or metal embellishments (match it with your jewellery!),
• A simple camel-coloured bag with a slim 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 dusty pink dress? 💍

Wearing jewellery is a fantastic way to complete your outfit and feel feminine. It also showcases your personality and tastes, revealing who you truly are. Here are some choices you can make:

• Depending on your personality and preferences, you might lean towards quirky accessories from local artisans or opt for chic and subtle pieces made of precious metals (like gold or silver)...
• Based on the details of your outfit, try coordinating them with the metallic elements on your shoes, bag, and belt...
• Considering your skin tone, in line with the undertones discussed in the first part of this guide...

To choose jewellery to wear with your pink dress, it's best to consider these three factors. Also, think about matching them together to create a harmonious set that will provide visual links between:

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

Hope this guide has helped you to create the perfect outfit to complement your pink dress, no matter the occasion! You now have all the tips you need. 😉
