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 make it stand out? What shoes, bag, and jewellery should you pair it with?

You’re in the right place.

Whether it's long or short, formal or more casual, a pink dress is a wardrobe staple that you can always rely on.

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

A powder 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 very couture style with a complete fuchsia outfit. Wear your dress with elegant and feminine heels (such as stilettos, wedge sandals, or ankle boots). Consider matching 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 world of fashion, pink is a delicate and feminine colour that is quite easy to match. In the following lines, I will help you explore the shades that pair best with the different hues of pink.

White for a Romantic and Radiant Look

Perfect for brightening up your summer outfits, this colour combination always works, 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 make yourself stand out.

👉 It is also possible to 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 colours can help you balance your outfit and add some style!

Gold for a Chic Bohemian Style

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

Silvery Touch for an Elegant and Dressy Look

Like light grey, metallic silver shades also pair beautifully with pink, even darker shades. They will particularly suit those who have a cool skin undertone. To determine if this applies to you, you can, as mentioned before, observe your veins. They are more likely to appear blue or purple. Additionally, traditionally, your skin tends to be sensitive to the sun and may redden. Silver, being a cool colour, will be perfect to enhance your look!

With a fuchsia dress: contrasting black or a total look

Your dress is fuchsia pink? In that case, 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 dressed-up event (wedding, christening, family celebration, etc.),
• embrace originality by styling your fuchsia dress with colourful metallic shades, like teal or metallic pink, etc. You can even incorporate them 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 very convenient as it’s an all-in-one outfit. However, once you've selected your dress, it's still important to pay close attention to the choice of your 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 rock some high-heeled shoes with your pink dress. This could be a pair of sandals with a simple heel at the back, wedges, or even stilettos.

🔸 Are you wearing your dress for a wedding, a baptism, or a cocktail party? I recommend a pair of high heels, which you can choose in white or matched to your dress, in a tone-on-tone style. Black would be more suited for a formal professional setting.

🔸 Is your pink dress quite bohemian? Go for sandals in the same style, featuring 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 knees, you can pair it with a light grey over-the-knee boots. If your dress is longer, opt for suede or leather ankle boots. Powder pink goes well with white or light grey tones, while a bolder pink will be highlighted by brown or black.

What jacket should you wear with your pink dress? 🧥

No matter the colour or style, finding a jacket that goes well with a dress is not always an easy task. In fact, most of the time, models wear dresses without jackets or coats, and it's rare to see inspiring photos of complete outfits!

However, 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 bohemian-chic and relaxed look, perfect for adding a casual touch to a dressy outfit or for daily wear,
• a short white or pink jacket for an elegant style, that will be just right for a chic ensemble,
• 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 softness to your outfit while keeping you warm!

Which clutch goes with a pink dress? 👝

Having a small bag to keep your belongings is always handy: you can fit your smartphone, bank card, and a few other essentials in there! However, when wearing a dress in a classy setting, whether for work or a celebration, choosing the right bag requires special consideration.

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

• A tonal rectangular clutch, for a dressed-up and elegant look,
• A white leather clutch, which can be embellished with pearls or metallic hardware (match it with your jewellery!),
• A simple camel-coloured bag, with a thin shoulder strap,
• A boho-style bag made from wicker or straw, perfect to pair with a dress in the same style!

What jewellery to wear with a powder pink dress? 💍

Wearing jewellery is an excellent way to complete your outfit and feel feminine. It also allows you to express your personality and taste, showcasing who you really are. You can choose them:

• Based on your personality and preferences, you can choose between artisanal costume jewellery or elegant, understated pieces made from precious metals (gold, silver, etc.).
• Consider the details of your outfit by coordinating your jewellery with the metal accents on your shoes, bag, and belt.
• Think about your skin tone and how it aligns with the undertones discussed 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 coordinating them together to create a harmonious set, which will establish visual connections between:

• your face, with earrings,
• your décolletage and shoulders, with a necklace,
• your wrist, with a bracelet,
• and even your ankles, 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 at your disposal. 😉
