Are you “in the pink?”

pink spring outfit To be “in the pink” is to be in top form, to glow with health and vigor. Wearing the right shade of pink can do that for you. But until very recently the color pink was reserved for suggestive undergarments and little girls in princess garb.

Today pink is everywhere, but in more subtle blush, peach, nude or ivory shades. That’s good news, because the right shade of pink is an extension of your natural skin tones, and as such is extremely kind, flattering, and flexible. Note: choose your “pink” garments in good daylight because if the color is off (too yellow, too blue or too bright) you will look florid, pasty or sallow.

If you’re ready to explore pink, you have lots of exciting options. Try it in a blouse or shirt, paired with a sweater or jacket in your eye color, for a look that is super approachable and credible. Accessories like belts, handbags and shoes pull a look together.

pink loafers I especially like using flesh tones in shoes because they visually extend the length of the leg when you’re bare-legged or wearing stockings.

If you’re a fair person with low contrast between your skin and hair color, an outfit of several shades of your “pink” can be stunning.
