When you think of the colour pink, you might imagine Barbie dolls or the 2001 chick flick Legally Blonde, in which Elle Woods lives and breathes pink, carries around a small chihuahua and writes on pink stationery with fuzzy pens. In spite of all that, pink isn’t just for girly girls anymore. This year, designers including Gucci and Jil Sanders have launched a pink revival, with fresh and defiant designs that almost make you forget the stereotypes associated with this colour. Off the runways, actresses, influencers and even royals are embracing the trend, too. If you’re still in doubt, read on as we show you the best ways to work pink into your wardrobe.
1 /5
Add graphic elements
Choosing a design with eye-catching graphic details — as seen here on Brie Lawson — will divert some of the focus away from the pink and, at the same time, add individuality and uniqueness to the look.

Focus on accessories
Opt for a minimal black-and-white outfit with delicate details, and then pair that with accessories in a striking pink colour. Elle Fanning provides a perfect demonstration with this elegant look.
