THE POWER OF PINK IN FASHION: PLEASING, PRETTY AND PASSIONATE!

In fashion, color can make or break a garment. The same dress can look sensual and elegant in black, yet youthful and cheery in yellow. One color that tends not to dominate the fashion world, yet stands out when you see it worn, is pink.
Whether you prefer to go daring and bold and dress head-to-toe pink, or you choose to offset your white outfit with pink pumps and a pink purse, the color pink in fashion is grand…don’t you think?

Pink Fun Fact: Pink is a pale red color, a combination of red and white. Pink was first used as a color name in the late 17th century. The color pink is named after the flowers, pinks.
Variations of the Color Pink:

1. Blush – Similar to skin color, a pale pink.
2. Fuschia – A blend of deep pink and blue.
3. Hot Pink – Neon pink, a striking pink.
4. Orchid – A lavender pink.
5. Pastel Pink – A soft, muted pink.
6. Rose Pink – A deep, rich pink.
7. Salmon Pink – A touch of orange to offset the pink.

No matter the shade of pink that you’re dressed in, when you strut down the street in striking pink you’ll bat a definite fashion win!

Pink Fun Fact: In color psychology, the color pink represents compassion, nurturing and love. Pink relates to unconditional love and understanding, and the giving and receiving of nurturing. The ‘red’ in pink contains the need for action, while the mix of ‘white’ helps pink achieve the potential for success.
Pink clothing exudes femininity and romance, affection and intimacy.

Pink Fun Fact: The color pink has been described in literature since ancient times. Pink wasn’t a common color in the fashion of Middle Ages; nobles preferred brighter reds, such as crimson. However, the color pink did appear in women’s fashion, and in religious art. In the high Renaissance painting the Madonna of the Pinks by Raphael, the Christ child is presenting a pink flower to the Virgin Mary. The pink was a symbol of marriage, showing a spiritual marriage between the mother and child.

As far as accessories (which always make or break an outfit), I tend to favor pink purses and pink high heels. These two pink accessories together say “I’m confident”, “I’m fashion fabulous”, “I’m fashion fun”!


Pink Fashion Fun Fact: The golden age of the color pink entering mainstream fashion was the Rococo Period (1720-1777) in the 18th century, when pastel colors became very fashionable in all the courts of Europe. Pink was particularly championed by Madame de Pompadour (1721-1764), the mistress of King Louis XV of France, who wore combinations of pale blue and pink, and had a particular tint of pink made for her by the Sevres porcelain factory, created by adding nuances of blue, pink and yellow.
The color pink can signify good health, being ‘in the pink’ and success, as in ‘everything’s rosy’.
Pink clothing, whether shocking or pastel, when wrapped in pink you’ll look youthful, sweet and well!

“Perhaps you’re right. There will probably be more black dresses than I can count.”
“I say wear any shade of pink…you’ll look unique and you’ll certainly stand out.”
“Maybe I’ll wear pink chiffon…or find a neon satin or silk pink dress.”
“Go full fashion pink…add pink earrings, a pink necklace, dress pink to impress!”
