To add some brightness to your outfit, just choose a non-trivial color combination. What color goes with pink? Complete the soft pink outfit with blue details. This combination will look very gentle and feminine. Often designers complement a blue outfit with pink mesh or embroidery. Such clothes can be worn not only on holidays, but also on an everyday basis if you do not have a dress code at work. A girl who chooses non-trivial combinations will always attract attention. But keep in mind, if you want to add another shade to the pink and blue set, it should be neutral, for example, white, black or beige.
Dark blue
What could be easier than wearing jeans and a pink sweater? Nothing. And such a set is in fashion today. Choose wide-leg pants, such as boyfriend pants, and a printed, oversized T-shirt. There is no need to buy tight clothes, they have not been in trend for a long time. If you don't want to look like everyone else, you can take a closer look at pink pants with blue stripes. Such fashionable semi-sportswear will look good in both a business and relaxed casual look. Do you want to impress everyone with your good taste? Then think about how to combine a dark blue denim jacket, a light pink dress and white sneakers.
Khaki
It's hard to imagine when the military style will go out of fashion. Now he continues to be at the very peak of popularity. Strict jackets, similar to military tunics, look good on fragile women's shoulders. Such clothes often complement pink dresses or trousers. But designers don't stop at the standard combination of dress and jacket. They invite girls to wear military-cut pants and complement them with flowy pink chiffon blouses. This combination of different textures looks fresh and original.
You don’t want to try on the latest fashions, but you still want to stay on trend? Then complement your khaki dress with pink accessories. It would be appropriate to take a small clutch and wear shoes with heels.
Gold
When talking about combinations with a pink tint, one cannot fail to mention gold. It was this combination that won the hearts of many fashionistas. Gold inserts on pink dresses look magical. Gold skirts complemented with pink blouses create a mesmerizing effect. A magical combination worth wearing for a night out. Girls who are going to prom or to a friend's wedding can take this fashionable color combination into their arsenal. You can combine gold not only in clothes, but also in jewelry. For example, dilute the total look, collected in pink, with fashionable gold pendants, earrings, rings and a clutch.
I recently resumed my drawing and painting lessons, and I want to tell you about color combinations. In any situation when it comes to color, there are good and bad combinations of shades. Whether it's a manicure or clothes, a drawn card or even a home renovation, it's always important to choose a beautiful and interesting color combination.
With regard to clothing, this is even more important, if you can paint your house and your favorite bedroom in any shades you like, and invite only loved ones there, then clothing is the most important social tool that allows us to form the first opinion about each other, and therefore we cannot allow your clothes said the wrong thing about you. How to choose good shades and choose interesting pairs? What are the rules about this? How to choose any tones with shine?
A little theory
The easiest way to choose the right shade is to use a color wheel. It is divided into 12 sectors and represents the primary colors. Also, each sector is graduated from light (in the center) to dark (along the edge). What can we deduce from this circle?- White harmonizes with absolutely any tone and makes it brighter.
- Black will help dilute any ensemble and at the same time give it depth.
- Complementary and similar color neighborhoods are visible.
- You can derive triads, tetrads and squares.
This is a good combination, and most often many clothing lines use it - they produce the same models in complementary shades, and then if you buy a purple blouse, you can always choose a pistachio skirt to go with it (and vice versa).
Similar pairs- those that stand next to each other on the color wheel. Such pairs are often found in architectural compositions. Surely you have seen when a house is painted light lemon, and the architectural elements - slopes and cornices, balustrades and architraves - are green. This solution is also found very often in accessories - for example, it is much easier to find yellow shoes with orange trim than yellow ones with blue or purple.
Triads, tetrads and squares are patterns that are drawn according to a special shape on the color wheel. For a triad it is a triangle, for a tetrad it is a rectangle, and a square speaks for itself.
Look at different color wheels to understand the principle, and you will never go wrong in choosing the right shade.
Neutral
Neutral colors are called black, white and gray - they go with almost everything and look good together. However, it should also be taken into account that a person dressed in black or gray from head to toe is bad manners; monochrome outfits have long become a sign of bad taste. In the summer, it is appropriate to be dressed in white from head to toe, but here accessories - a bag, shoes, bright jewelry and details - can help maintain the brightness.Any combination of gray should be well balanced. As a rule, fabrics or accessories of a pure gray shade are rarely found on sale; most often the color has a cold or warm undertone. Accordingly, when choosing color combinations with gray, you need to look at:
- to the warmth of gray;
- on the warmth of the selected color;
- on the lightness of two shades and their compatibility.
Warmth of Gray
Gray can be warm or cold.
Warm shades are best combined with warm tones - yellow, orange, red, pink, crimson.
Cool gray looks perfect if you add blue, lilac, green or blue to it.
The warmth of the chosen color
Even yellow can be cold. It is best to choose those paints whose temperature corresponds to the main temperature of the color. Warm yellow and cool blue look good with cool gray.Lightness
This is the position that the chosen color would occupy on a stretch from darkest to lightest. It is best if the gray does not compete with his partner. Can't choose? Choose the brightest shades or pastel colors, and it is better to refrain from dark ones.
Warm
Warm colors on the color wheel range from yellow to violet. This is a pleasant range that lifts the mood and gives a feeling of warmth and light. However, choosing color pairs here is not so easy. Naturally, when I talk about the proximity of red or yellow, these are those combinations where the color I indicated is the main one (that is, it predominates visually).
The best combination of red is with white, blue and black. These are pure shades that were worn by kings and queens; this range (without black) is represented on the Russian tricolor and the flags of other states. Use pure shades, and then you can definitely be confident in your choice.
The combination of burgundy color with shades of blue and gray turns out to be interesting. In general, any berry tones will suit burgundy. But it is better to choose green tones with a cool undertone.
A wonderful combination of brown and beige - you get a pleasant chocolate combination. Shades of cocoa and coffee, tea and milk, pastries and ivory - many color combinations with brown evoke thoughts of desserts.
Naturally, warm tones go well together - brown and light orange look great together, and the combination of red, orange and yellow was once ultra-fashionable.
Want to add some flair to the combination? Try complex tones. Combine brown with plum, beige and blackberry, warm inky and cool turquoise. Yes, don't forget about the brown and mint color combination. The combination of mint and chocolate evokes thoughts of entertainment, pleasure and relaxation.
Do you like extravagance? Add some accessories in a deep shade - for example, cobalt blue will set off orange or pink well, and turquoise looks good against shades of yellow and green.
Cold
Cool colors are those from green to purple. These are shades of grass and water, cool and refreshing, they bring peace and tranquility. If you want to use cool shades in the interior, then it is best to give preference to bright, clean colors, the compatibility of which is very high with other colors.
The best combination for the home is dark blue with white and red. Moreover, red should be a highlight, there should not be a lot of it, but it’s better not to skimp on blue.
My favorite shade is turquoise, also called turquoise and Tiffany's favorite shade. Turquoise color goes well with a variety of shades. You can choose warm pink and rich orange, which can beautifully set off the turquoise color. An interesting combination of turquoise shade is obtained with coral - the reddish-red palette emphasizes the turquoise color well.
It is also worth trying a combination of blue with cold yellow and light green tones, and blue will help to set off green tones. In general, the combination of green with yellow and blue is classic for spring and spring holidays, so try to find your own solutions in this color scheme (and don’t forget to look at the color wheel).
Try to pay more attention to the combination of green with other colors - this year the Panton company announced Greenery as the shade of 2017, so it would be a sin not to acquire a couple of green wardrobe items and buy some emerald jewelry for home. By the way, you can choose beautiful color combinations with green online - the color palette will be created automatically.
Do you want to create interesting purple color combinations? Try light cool colors - lilac, pink, green. Don't like deep purple? Try lilac and lavender, and don't forget lilac.

One of the gendered clothing shades is definitely pink. This color is firmly tied to the female gender in the minds of most inhabitants of the globe. The separation begins literally from the threshold of the maternity hospital - with a ribbon on the blanket, everyone they meet is informed about what gender the child has been given to the parents. The girls are dressed up in pink dresses, ribbons of the same color are woven into their hair, and even the doll cars they play with are painted, as expected, pink.
Interesting fact: until the 40s of the twentieth century, blue was considered a “girlish” color, and boys were supposed to wear pink - as a softer version of the aggressively masculine red color. Pay attention to Cinderella's dress in the Disney cartoon - it is no coincidence that it is blue.
However, in the modern fashion world, pink has virtually no place in a man's wardrobe. Therefore, all the colors in this palette belong entirely to women, and especially to young girls. Pink has been associated with youth since the times of the ancient Roman Empire - this is exactly what young people are depicted wearing in ancient frescoes. But women of an elegant age also willingly use shades of pink in their wardrobe - with the right choice of tone, it is refreshing and youthful. You can't miss the opportunity to look younger just by wearing the right set of clothes.
Pink is also considered a very tasty, “edible” color - it is no coincidence that confectioners strive to add this color to their desserts: to enhance the attractiveness of the product and increase its sales.
Basic shades of pink
The variety of halftones of this color allows absolutely everyone to wear it. Do not assume that it is obtained from a mixture of red and white. In fact, it may include yellow, purple, and orange tones. Depending on their saturation, pink is divided into 7 main tones, which designers use when developing new clothing models and ranking the most fashionable colors of the season:
- pale pink;
- lilac-pink;
- salmon;
- crimson;
- fuchsia;
- coral;
- magenta.
Cool shades of pink In cold versions, blue, lilac, and violet colors are visible. Pink becomes warm due to the presence of yellow, peach, and orange notes in it. 
Pale pink, or pearl, tea rose, camellia - all these names refer to that pastel, highly bleached shade in which a minimal amount of red color is seen. Such a soft, delicate color will be a good frame for a woman of any age. In its light powdery incarnation, it is especially recommended for ladies over 40 - both for business, office wear, and for festive occasions. Also, soft pink remains the favorite choice of brides (after white) for a wedding dress. 
Mauve-pink is sometimes figuratively called the shade of “dusty rose” or “withered rose”. Due to the barely audible purple pianissimo, there is more coldness in this color. It is no longer as refreshing for older women as the previous color, but is still full of elegance and style.
Salmon is illuminated with an orange flare, and is therefore recommended for women of a warm color type. Its variety is shrimp and that fantastic natural color called “pink flamingo”. 
Raspberry pink, sometimes called berry pink, is unusually harmonious, slightly cool and very appetizing, with rare exceptions, it suits almost everyone. A special coziness is felt in knitwear of this dark pink shade: a raspberry jumper or sweater dress will be the ideal canvas for playing with accessories and bright details of the image. 
In contrast to raspberry, rarely does anyone go for bright and explosive fuchsia - the most complex of pink tones. It needs to be muffled, dissolved and diluted so that the set does not look provocative and, frankly, arrogant. However, despite the audacity of this color, absolutely all women can wear it, with the exception of ladies who have crossed the 70-year mark, if you wear it at the bottom of the outfit - in the form of trousers or shoes.
Coral color is sometimes lumped into the same group as salmon, however, this is not the case. They have a common orange base, but the coral has more pink, so to speak, and the salmon has a slight hint of brown. 
Magenta is a neon shade of pink that contains purple and blue notes. It’s cold and hurts the eye just by looking at it, so it’s only shown to equally bright and contrasting female representatives. It is this color, in its various variations, that is popularly called the “Barbie color.” Due to its richness, it is difficult to combine and is limited in use for women over 20 years of age.
What shades suit each color type?
It’s not for nothing that stylists have lost their tongues, tired of answering the question: who will wear pink? Any color type has room to develop, and the most important thing in the color scheme of your personal set is that the pink color takes up as much space in it and exists in exactly the shade that corresponds to your age group.
Winter color type
Contrasting girls of this color type will suit bright, even flashy tones of pink. You should avoid calm, soothing shades that do not correspond to the “winter” expressiveness in terms of their impact on others. Cold and intense pink colors, even dazzling neon, will fit perfectly into the wardrobe of this color type. The only warm shade that they are allowed among the entire pink palette is intense coral. 
Spring color type
Salmon, pale pink in various variations, coral, flamingo - all this is very suitable for a warm, golden spring. You should focus on the color of your natural blush - the skin itself will tell you what kind of pink color it needs. Cold magenta, dusty rose, clover variations with a lilac flavor extinguish the natural beauty of “spring” women. Perhaps they are the only ones who are contraindicated in fuchsia, except in very small “therapeutic” doses and at a great distance from the face. 
Summer color type
Summer is always friendly with those shades of pink in which the influence of gray and blue is felt: “faded rose”, crimson, pearl, pink-lilac, dirty pink must be present in the arsenal of a “summer” beauty of any age. “Dusty rose” and dirty pink must be handled carefully - with a high degree of whiteness or, conversely, the presence of obvious gray in pink tones, skin prone to blueness or grayishness can take on an unhealthy, faded appearance. Therefore, it is better not to wear sets in which these colors predominate and, moreover, are concentrated in the upper part of the outfit.
Autumn color type
For some reason, in the fashion space, on the pages of blogs and websites about style, among readers and participants in discussions, there is a widespread opinion that red hair color, often inherent in this color type, and the pink color in clothes are written antagonists.
In fact, this is not true. Copper-red, brown, golden hair harmonizes perfectly with the right pink: lilac-pink, crimson, cyclamen. The subtlety is that the color has a clear structure - without halftones and without faded, indistinct shades. Autumn is contrasting and active - give it a worthy frame in the form of bright colors. 
The combination of pink color in clothing sets
The most difficult thing about wearing pink is to be able to limit yourself in the amount of it. This sweet, seductive, feminine color often becomes hostage to the owner of the outfit in the desire to show the whole world how sweet, weak, defenseless she is in this world of men. 
How to properly combine pink with other colors so as not to become a caricature of Barbie is easy to understand if you follow simple rules.
Pink and white
A combination that has long become a universal classic. White color smoothes and evens out the radiance of any shade of pink: fuchsia will add nobility, reducing its explosive power, and pearl will add internal energy. Of course, this is not a winter combination, and it is of little use for the off-season, however, paradoxically, acting as outerwear or accessories - a scarf, hat, boots - it is quite acceptable.
Pink and brown or beige
Pink and brown must match in tone temperature. This is the only combination that has easily migrated into the men's wardrobe: a pink tie perfectly sets off a strict brown suit. The same combination is suitable for a female office look.
To wear pink with beige, make one of the colors more distinct and noticeable so that the set does not become a shapeless blur. Both colors are close to the skin color of Caucasian women, and if she is also a natural cool blonde, a poorly thought out outfit without bright color accents will turn its owner into a vague shadow.
Pink and blue
The two colors will make friends and spend a wonderful day in your set - creating a great mood for you too - if they do not argue with each other about who is the brightest. Only one of them has to be intense. Two saturated tones together, especially those close to neon flashes, will sound like a discordant cacophony in the outfit and hurt the eyes of those around you. The combination of pastel pink and pale blue looks great. This choice will highlight both lips and eyes at the same time - even if they have a different iris color than blue or blue.
Adding brown in the form of accessories or shoes will add rigor and elegance to your outfit.
Pink and green
This combination, so often found in garden beds, is difficult to translate into clothing. It is not easy for an ordinary woman to choose shades that are suitable in color and intensity, which will merge in harmony, and will not look like two separate centers of attention in one outfit.
A combination of soft pink and mint colors is considered a win-win. It rejuvenates, refreshes and invigorates. Blends well with many calm tones of pink and grassy green, deep color. But light green, due to its high content of yellow undertones, is combined with pink only in details. It is better to avoid combining large scales of these shades in an image.
Pink and yellow
To complete the set, the duet of these two colors lacks a third, which is not at all superfluous. Yellow, pink and brown - the image is discreet and stylish. The mint color will make a yellow-pink outfit incredibly “edible” and memorable. Burgundy will add a touch of chic to the combination of these shades.
If you replace the yellow color with gold, you will get a completely casual outfit, but an “occasional” look. The brighter the shine of gold, the more the pink piece of clothing should match it - satin, silk, metallic thread should be in it.
Pink and red (orange)
Without being a stylist, it's so easy to miss when putting together an outfit with these colors! It seems – what’s special, because pink is almost red, only slightly diluted with white. And orange is the brother of red, and therefore pink.
However, logic and features of color perception are incompatible things. If you really want to try and you are determined, go for it.
There are probably only three rules:
- do not include other colors in the set in proportions greater than one-fourth of the outfit as a whole;
- do not use accessories and shoes that match the shade of pink, red or orange from the set;
- makeup must be neutral, and hairstyle must not be shocking.
Pink and purple
The more blue or lilac undertones are visible in pink, the easier it is to combine with purple clothing items. The shade of the second color, called “grape,” will be universal in all cases. Black color will add solemnity to this combination, and white will add lightness and mischief.
Pink and gray
What pink goes with is gray! By playing with the temperatures and shades of these colors, you can create both magnificent, memorable outfits, and slide into the corner of oblivion as an uninteresting gray mouse.
Gray color has the extraordinary ability to tame even the difficult fuchsia, calm the impulsive magenta, highlight the timid camellia and perform well in pairs with raspberry.
In combination with gray, not a single shade of pink will look comical or cloying. Just avoid combinations of dusty and too whitened tones of both paints - it looks dull and outdated.
Pink and black
One of the most powerful combinations in terms of its impact on others. Keep in mind that while gray calms shades of pink, acting as a moderating factor, black acts as a catalyst on the same colors: it enhances everything. Bright fuchsia will make it simply unbearable to look at, soft pink will turn it into a dirty white, unappetizing shade. Raspberry will become cloudy and thick, and coral will lose its cheerful yellow note in the presence of strict black.
To smooth out this blemish developer effect, add white to the set. In the presence of positive white, black stops sulking and happily becomes part of a bright and stylish outfit.
Pink accessories
You need to carefully combine a pink accessory with other elements of women's clothing. Here, color decides everything - the brighter the shade, the less space it should take up in the outfit. A bright coral summer hat can match the color of the bracelet, but adding coral sandals here will be unnecessary. The cyclamen-colored belt is completely self-sufficient and does not need additional amplifiers of this color. Pink shoes are unique shoes, it is better not to distract the attention of the audience from her solo performance in the set.
If you want to keep a pink accessory in your wardrobe for a long time, choose time-tested colors: powdery, raspberry, light pink. These shades will never go beyond the focus of fashion designers.
Regular readers of the site have long known that the Pantone Institute named the main color of 2016 as shade 13-1520 or, if you’re not being clever, rose quartz.
However, pink is a controversial color, especially when it comes to the wardrobe of an adult woman. For example, Alexander Vasiliev in one of the episodes of the program “Fashionable Sentence” stated that only little girls can afford a pink total look; young ladies who have reached the age of 12 must forget about pink once and for all. Is it so? Let's find out!
With all due respect to maestro Vasiliev, the question “why can’t you wear a pink total look after 12 years?”, in most cases, remains unanswered, but any color in a huge palette of colors is just a color! It cannot be good, bad, successful or unsuccessful. Color manifests itself when surrounded by other participants in the outfit: accessories, shoes, makeup, hairstyle, composition of things and many other nuances. Why did pink deserve such categorical judgments?
However, an impartial review of most folk outfits in pink tones leads to disappointing conclusions: adult women in Peppa Pig outfits really look ambiguous, and you can’t always immediately answer the question: what’s wrong with these images?
The mind immediately gives out the most understandable cliché - you can’t wear pink after 12, (otherwise you’ll turn into a pumpkin!), it’s ridiculous, vulgar and completely inappropriate for your age!
However, if fashion designers create entire collections in pink tones for adult women, and a world-famous color expert calls pink the shade of the year, then perhaps it’s worth giving pink a chance and at least trying to look at it from a different angle?
The mystery of pink
The main difficulty of pink is that, like red, it has the properties of an amplifier. But if red emphasizes and multiplies the characteristic features: dark hair color will look even darker and more dramatic in a duet with a red scarf, an attractive girl in a red dress may seem too sexy, and a “gray mouse” in bright red clothes will be completely “lost”, then pink enhances flaws. Everything, and even those you didn’t know about!
Ungroomed hair and skin, cheap fabric, poor fit of the item, poor posture, bad shoes, excessive thinness or weight, inappropriate accessories, poorly cut clothes - the list can be endless, any flaw will be greatly enhanced by the color pink!
But not everything is as bad as it might seem: the good news is that modern fashion favors pink. The words of Alexander Vasiliev mentioned at the beginning of the article were spoken by him in December 2014, when pink was not yet so popular. Nowadays, Vasiliev, criticizing domestic pop stars, is very loyal to pink total looks, occasionally adding that dark/rich shades of pink are more suitable for brunettes, light ones for blondes, and so on in the same spirit.
And fashionistas today perceive pink less categorically: the abundance of pink in the collections of famous fashion designers and brands, the popularity of pink among fashion bloggers has increased observation and neutral perception, which, however, does not negate the insidious properties of this color.
Who should wear pink?
Christian Dior, nicknamed by his contemporaries “the dictator with suede gloves” for his uncompromisingly strict attitude towards women, was very fond of using pink in his collections. Every woman who decides to try on an outfit in pink tones should evaluate herself with such a “dictatorial” look and, believe me, in this case it is not a question of complexes or self-doubt, but a moment of adequate assessment of her initial data.
The figure, the condition of the hair and skin, the desire to do makeup and hairstyle or, conversely, the lack thereof - everything can affect the final result. This does not mean at all that all slender women have been given the green light to use pink in their wardrobes, but the strictest ban has been imposed on all women, far from it! Girls with curvy figures can also wear pink, but on condition that the style of the dress or suit matches the characteristics of the figure, and the figure itself maintains harmonious proportions.
Examples of looks in pink tones for a full figure
All girls have neat hairstyles, makeup and carefully selected accessories
And here is an example of an unsuccessful pink on a full figure: too dark a shade for a brunette + pink enhances the fullness/lack of waist
There is an opinion that dark pink shades are suitable for brunettes and brown-haired women, but in reality the combination of dark pink with black (in this case hair) creates an overloaded and even vulgar image. The degree of vulgarity will be higher, the darker and more saturated the pink color used in the outfit.
To avoid too strong color contrast, it is better not to combine pink and black in one look at all and choose pink colors of medium lightness and brightness for dark hair.
Which pink to wear?
The shade of pink is as important as the overall appearance of the clothing, its style and workmanship. So dark tones of pink - fuchsia and the like, are more suitable for slender women with light brown/caramel hair, medium-light pink is more universal and acceptable for both light-skinned blondes and brunettes with a dark skin tone, and you can try light pink, bleached colors to be worn by everyone without exception.
Medium light pink suits both brunettes and blondes
What to combine pink with in your look?
The companion colors of pink should ideally match the selected shade in lightness and brightness, or be lighter than other members of the outfit. It is advisable to avoid combinations of any shades of pink with black and select tones of gray, blue, green, red or brown that are equal in lightness.
If you can’t live without black, then it’s better to choose light, pastel shades of pink for an ensemble with it.
Popular this season, shoes and accessories in mirrored silver, gold and other metallic colors are a perfect match for clothes in pink tones.
An ideal fit and quality of tailoring are the alpha and omega of any successful outfit, but, as has been said more than once, if clothes of other colors can smooth out a low-grade fit, then pink will mercilessly trumpet this mistake to everyone! This also includes: the quality of stitching and finishing of pink items, the cost of fabric and accessories and the general condition of the clothes. If the stitches are crooked, the fabric is cheap, the model is overly decorated with frills, rhinestones, and even wrinkles at the slightest touch - then even a thousand times you will be young and slender, the image will turn out to be vulgar and cheap.
The things are expensive, but the image... is very much for everyone
Pink requires a laconic design, a clear cut, neat hair and makeup, modern shoes and discreet accessories. Only in this design the image in pink tones will turn out stylish, and not vulgar or vulgar.
On the left, a hairstyle that is too careless for a pink coat, on the right, babylons filled with varnish and outdated makeup - both are equally bad
So:
- try to avoid dark and rich shades of pink (fuchsia and the like) if you are a brunette or are far from a model figure. Dark shades of pink strongly emphasize fullness, and also look too contrasting in a duet with black, making the image vulgar. Exception: sporty style, but pink should be very dosed: stripes, blotches, etc.
- pink is very picky about appearance. Neat (but not fancy) hair and makeup are a must for a pink look.
- In order not to make a mistake with shades, try to pair colors with pink that are close in lightness and saturation
- it is better to combine black with light shades of pink, this way you will avoid strong contrast, which can be very insidious
- for a full figure, light and medium shades of pink are suitable
- the quality of things in pink tones is one of the main conditions for a successful image
- avoid active decor on pink things
However, modern fashion has become less demanding and conservative, so experiment and be trendy!
