Daft Pink: A Cool Girl’s Guide To Wearing The Pastel Hue

by Nicky Deam

Pink doesn’t have to be girly. In fact, it can look surprisingly cool when done properly. Take a cue from this street style muse and opt for tailored separates in mauve-tinted pinks. Finish with sharp accessories like a structured satchel and pointed pumps.

How To Pull Off Pink

Slouchy Blazer

DKNY Crepe Blazer, $445

Keep the fit slightly oversized for a relaxed vibe.

Tailored Shorts

DKNY Pleated Crepe Shorts, $235

Pleated shorts that hit at the knee are the perfect alternative to a midi-skirt or full-length pants for wamer weather. Plus, you can pair them with a printed tee on the weekends.

Nubby Tee

Iris and Ink Slub Jersey T-Shirt, $35

A t-shirt with some texture plays well with crepe separates.

Perforated Satchel

Emperior Kayli Perforated Satchel, $50

The pattern on this perforated bag adds a subtle dose of detail without being overpowering.

Power Pump

Sam Edelman Othello Croc Embossed Pump, $130

Replace your classic black pumps with a sleek, slingback version for spring.

Muted Pout

Nars Lipstick in Roman Holiday, $26

Keep your other makeup minimal, and add a swipe of matte, mauve lipstick.

Textured Hair

Bumble and Bumble Cityswept Finish Spray, $29

To keep the look from feeling too precious, stay away from high-maintenance styles and reach for a texturizing hair spray instead.
