What to wear with a pink dress?

Are you planning to wear a pink dress for an event or on a daily basis 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, smart or more casual, a pink dress is a wardrobe staple in your closet.

To help you easily coordinate and create stunning outfits for any occasion, 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 bohemian chic style. If your dress is fuchsia, don't hesitate to contrast it with dark grey or black, or create a very couture style with a total fuchsia look. Wear your dress with elegant, feminine high heels (pumps, wedge sandals, ankle boots). Feel free to match it with a simple leather clutch in the same colour as your shoes, as well as with gold or silver jewellery, depending on what suits your complexion best.

What Colours to Wear with a Pink Dress?

In the realm of fashion, pink boasts the advantage of being a delicate and feminine colour, and is quite easy to pair. In the following sections, I will introduce you to the shades that complement various tones of pink the best.

White for a Romantic and Radiant Look

Perfect for Brightening up your summer outfits, this colour combination is always a winner, provided 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 complexion and highlight your features.

👉 It is also possible to substitute white with another shade of pink, especially if your dress is candy pink or dark pink. In this case, you can create a monochromatic scheme by combining two to three different shades of pink, or even two shades of pink with white. Varying the colours can help you balance your outfit and give it some style!

Gold for a Bohemian Chic Style

For an elegant result, you can certainly combine powder 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 redden! To check this, look at the veins on your wrist: if your undertone is warm, they generally appear rather greenish beneath your skin.

Silver for a Delicate and Elegant Look

Like light grey, metallic silver shades pair beautifully with pink, even slightly darker tones. They are particularly suited to those with a cool skin undertone. To determine if this applies to you, you can observe your veins as mentioned earlier. They will likely appear blue or purple. Furthermore, you may notice that your skin is sensitive to sunlight and tends to redden. Therefore, silver, being a cool colour, will be perfect to enhance your beauty!

With a fuchsia dress: contrasting black or a total look

Your dress is fuchsia? In that case, there are 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, christening, family celebration…),
• Embrace originality and wear your fuchsia dress with colourful metallic shades, such as teal, metallic pink, and so on. You can also incorporate these colours into your make-up for a very 90s vibe!

What shoes to wear with a pink dress? 👠

No matter the occasion, wearing a beautiful dress is incredibly convenient as it serves as a complete outfit on its own. However, once you’ve selected your dress, it’s equally important to pay special attention to your choice of footwear.

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 include sandals with a simple heel 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-heeled shoes, which you can choose in white or matching your dress in a tone-on-tone style. Black would be more suitable in a formal professional setting.

🔸 Is your pink dress rather bohemian? Choose sandals in the same style, with woven wedge soles 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 knee, you can pair it with a light grey over-the-knee boots. If your dress is longer, go for ankle boots made of suede or leather. Powder pink will work well with white or light grey tones, while a deeper pink will be complemented by brown or black.

What jacket should you wear with your pink dress? 🧥

Whatever its shade or style, finding a jacket that pairs well with a dress is not always an easy task. Indeed, most of the time, models wear dresses without jackets or coats, and it is rare to see inspiring photographs of complete outfits!

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

• a denim jacket, for a bohemian-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, which will suit a chic outfit perfectly,
• a black leather biker jacket, for a bold rock vibe, very modern and trendy, especially when paired with a fuchsia dress!

👉 Feel free 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 bag goes with a pink dress? 👝

Having a small bag to store your belongings is always handy: you can fit your smartphone, bank card, and a few other essential items in it! However, if you're wearing a dress in a stylish setting, whether professional or celebratory, choosing the right bag requires careful consideration.

Indeed, a bag that is too large can spoil your outfit and give it a rather too casual look. I would recommend opting for a clutch or a very small bag from the following models:

• A tonal rectangular clutch for a smart and elegant look,
• A white leather clutch, which can be adorned with beads or metal buckles (to match your jewellery!),
• A simple camel-coloured bag with a thin shoulder 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 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 truly are. You can choose them to reflect your style:

• Depending on your personality and preferences, you might choose either handmade designer costume jewellery or chic, understated pieces in noble metals (gold, silver, etc.),
• Considering the details of your outfit, particularly by matching them with the metallic accents on your shoes, bag, belt, etc.,
• Based on your skin tone, in line with the types of undertones mentioned 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 one another to create a harmonious set that will establish visual connections between:

• your face, adorned with earrings,
• your neckline and shoulders, embellished with a necklace,
• your wrist, complemented by 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. 😉
