Pink takes Winter Neutrals into Spring

Your winter neutrals have worked hard — the greys, navys, browns, blacks and fabulous burgundy that has formed the backbone of your cold weather wardrobe. But as the first hints of Spring appear, they can start to feel a little heavy and tired. The answer? Pink.

Adding pink to your favourite winter neutrals instantly lifts and freshens your look. It's the easiest way to transition your wardrobe from Winter into Spring without spending a fortune. And the beauty of pink is that it works with EVERY neutral you own.

Let me show you how pink takes your strong winter neutrals into fresh Spring outfits. Simple color combinations that look elegant, modern and effortlessly stylish. 

PINK into Spring whatever your style!

Pink comes in a huge range of shades from barely-there blush to vibrant fuchsia. Even if fuchsia isn't top of the pops this Spring, if it's your color go for it!

Discover the pink shades that flatter your complexion and make you feel confident. Unsure? start with softer shades and work your way up to brighter hues.

Not ready to commit then start small! A pink scarf over a jacket for a pop of color; a bag or even a pair of earrings to add a touch of Spring to your existing outfits.

A versatile and flattering color, allow pink to wake up Winter with style - whatever the neutrals in your wardrobe!

PINK + Brown

Remember when brown felt a bit dated? Well, it's back and more chic than ever! Deep, rich browns are a wonderful alternative to black and gray, and they pair so well with pastel pinks. Imagine a soft pink cashmere sweater with your favorite chocolate brown trousers.

The pink adds a touch of femininity and lightens the look, while the brown provides a grounding, sophisticated base. Add a touch of sparkle whether you choose gold or silver. 

Don't be afraid to experiment with different shades of brown – from warm caramel to deep espresso – to find the perfect complement to your pink.

PINK + Burgundy

Burgundy has been a star player this Winter, and its reign continues into Spring. The combination of pink and burgundy is unexpectedly harmonious and visually appealing. 

A lighter pink creates a cool, modern contrast against the richness of burgundy. Try a dusty rose blouse with a burgundy blazer and dark denim jeans. Or perhaps a burgundy skirt with a soft pink cardigan. The possibilities are endless as pink wakes up Winter!

PINK + Gray

Gray is a wardrobe workhorse, effortlessly chic and endlessly versatile. It's the perfect backdrop for a pop of pastel pink.

Swap out your usual white blouse for a soft pink and pair it with your favorite gray trousers or a sleek pencil skirt. Pink adds a touch of warmth and personality to the coolness of gray, creating a sophisticated and modern look without being too girly! For a more casual look, try a light pink sweater with gray joggers and white sneakers.

PINK + Black

Black and pink? Absolutely! Instead of adding pink to black, consider it the other way round, you're using black to anchor your pink pieces!

The crispness of black adds a professional edge to pastel pink making it just as appropriate for the office as an evening out. A black blazer over a blush pink dress is effortlessly chic or even a black top with pink trousers for a modern twist. 

PINK + Navy

Navy is a classic neutral that works year-round and denim is it's softer counterpart. Indigo jeans have become a classic and are accepted almost everywhere. Paired with a pink sweater they're timeless and fresh. 

In it's dressier form, navy is a softer alternative to black and is a stunning partner to pink. Think of a navy blazer with a pink shell or a navy and white striped top with pink pants.

This week and next week...

You don't need to overhaul your wardrobe to feel the difference that pink makes. This week, try just one thing.

Pull out a pink scarf, a pink top or even a pink lipstick and wear it with your favourite winter neutral. Notice how it lifts your outfit, brightens your face and gives you that little spark of confidence that says Spring is on its way.

Then come back and tell me how it felt — I'd love to hear from you!
