If you thought you couldn’t wear pink this season, it’s time to think again

For decades, colour lovers have been conditioned into believing that specific shades can only be worn during certain seasons. For instance, pink is usually associated with spring and summer because it goes hand in hand with the season’s vibrant days. Thankfully though, those old colour rules are fading fast and now you can wear pink anytime you like, including autumn – here’s how.

Pay attention to the cut
Simple tailored pieces are the easiest way to incorporate tonal shades of pink into your wardrobe. Anything overly voluminous or fluffy should be avoided at all costs.

Choose you shade carefully
From blush to fuchsia, there’s a whole array of pinks out there to choose from, but it’s important to remember that pale shades work best on darker complexions while brighter shades are best on paler skins to avoid a washed-out effect.

Invest in a pink coat or jacket
The best thing about pink is it looks great with pastels, jewel tones, primary colours, and neutrals, so you’ll never have to worry about a pink coat or jacket clashing with the rest of your outfit.

Try wearing pink and red together
We know wearing pink and red together was once considered a fashion faux pas, but now it’s one of the season’s coolest colour pairings.

Pick one pop of pink
To avoid the Barbie look, keep the focus on one item of pink such as a pair of trousers or a pink shirt. You can then complete your outfit with neutral shades for a sophisticated take on the trend.
