From minimal patterns…
Starting slow, you can opt for splatter prints with irregular, scattered, and seemingly random colour play. If you're artsy, it can be a form of abstract expressionism that often gives a sense of energy, dynamism, and spontaneity. Popularized by streetwear designers, the minimalistic style will satisfy your need for adding an urban and contemporary aesthetic to your wardrobe.
…To maximalist tone on tone
A whole pink pantsuit is not for the faint-hearted. But, if you focus on clean tailoring and a bit of structural elements, like a flappy collar here or a boxy hem on the pants, who's to say that you cannot tone on tone then. Go bare-chested or pair with a white ganjee to stay in trend. For the shoes, it's sneakers (maybe a pair of white and blue Converse) of nothing.
The correct hints
Is it a cop out that we have Ken on this list? Just Ken or not, Ryan Gosling's promotion ensembles sure left us wanting to see all the men in the world sport a stained pink undone bow tie. It's about adding the right hint of colour; this also applies to pocket squares or socks in neutral tones so that they're not too overpowering.
With other babygirl colours…
For starters, other babygirl colours are deep reds, midnight blacks and a few pastel tones on the opposite spectrum. This kind of tonal pairing creates a visually appealing combination without ever being overwhelming. They can also make for a striking colour block effect. Remember to keep the accessories neutral in whenever you're indulging in this level of colour play.
…Or daddy colours
Babygirls are incomplete without the daddies! Because for every Timothee Chalamet in soft pink, there's a Henry Cavill in emerald blue. You can also source clothing with an ombre style, smoothly transitioning from pink to emerald blue. Make it understated by pairing with neutrals like white, beige, or grey. Metallic accessories in gold or silver add a touch of sophistication to the whole look.
Salmon pink can be a good cop out
Let salmon pink be your style saviour this year! Opt for salmon pink T-shirts or trousers for a relaxed look. Button-down shirts in this soft hue are perfect for smart-casual occasions. Summer is around the corner so stock up on salmon pink shorts and pair with your comfiest fitted cotton tees.
So can baby pink outerwear
Outwear is an excellent way to add some pinks in your wardrobe. This way you won't have to keep it on you all the time. Statement jackets like bomber, leather, or denim can be paired with neutral tones. Pink hoodies or sweatshirts with graphic prints are super in and trench coats are timeless pieces that can be paired with navy, black, or white.
