Hot pink was all over the red carpet this awards season. It’s very much a hot shade for Spring 2019. Hot pink can be a little tricky to style and look chic, but I’ll help you find and style this shade so you can wear it with confidence.
While I’m very much a girly girl who loves a pretty pink dress, the specific shade of hot pink isn’t in my closet a ton. Today I’m sharing 6 hot pink pieces I’m loving for spring and how I would style them.
SELF PORTRAIT HOT PINK RUFFLE DRESS (wearing a size 2)
LIPS: MAC “BOLDLY BARE” LINER & BARE MINERALS LIPSTICK IN “CRUSH” (one of my go to combos)
1. A HOT PINK STATEMENT DRESS
If you are going to go all out with a hot pink dress, I would suggest pairing it with nude pumps, a gold statement earring, a neutral bag (think white, nude, or gold), and a nude or soft pink lip. I fell head over heels for this breathtaking Self Portrait hot pink ruffled dress. The light weight chiffon keep the dress classy and whimsical. This dress is enough of a statement, so I wouldn’t recommend overdoing it with a hot pink lip or other matching accessories. That’s where the look would go from chic to overdoing it.
2. A HOT PINK LIP
I usually only wear a hot pink lip in the spring and summer. When I do I usually pair it with a simple white blouse or white dress. I don’t like mixing in too many color with a bold pink lip. I also tend to shy away from wearing statement earrings. Just a simple earrings, minimal eyeshadow, and a simple winged eyeliner to balance it out should do the trick! I wrote about more of my favorite pink lip shades in this post. I also love the bright fuchsia color I wore in The May Dress Shoot!
3. A HOT PINK BATHING SUIT
Hot pink is so perfect for the pool or beach! It’s a flattering shade on all skin tones. I have a hot pink suit I wore in this post and I feel so much more tan when I wear it. With summer around the corner I have my eye on a few of these great hot pink suits.
4. A HOT PINK BLAZER
I own this hot pink blazer and I really love it. I haven’t worn it for a while, so I’m excited to start rotating it into my wardrobe again for spring. Again – let the blazer speak for itself, and pair with neutrals. I think a white crew neck tee and white pants with casual slides would be really cute with a hot pink blazer.
5. A HOT PINK BLOUSE
I found a few really cute hot pink blouses. I’m usually turned off by the idea of a hot pink blouse, but if there are ruffles or lace involved I can get onboard. I think a hot pink blouse needs to be fairly frilly, all out girl. I don’t think I would get a classic button-up blouse or a tee in a hot pink. I think of hot pink as a statement color, so the cut of the top needs to be a statement as well. I think a hot pink blouse is the only time I think a hot pink lip or statement earrings would be appropriate (not both though!). If it’s balanced with jeans and a nude pump and loose waves or a simply pony it can look really chic with that same color pop on the lip or ear!
SHOP ALL MY FAVORITE HOT PINK PICKS FOR SPRING…
I’m definitely excited to get some hot pink pieces for this spring. I’m kind of unsure how they’ll look with ginger hair but I’m gonna try a few and see how I like them. The blazer is a piece I really want to get this year, the ones you listed are super cute, they put two trends I want to try together so I feel like that’s definitely the main piece to go for.
My girlfriend has gorgeous red hair and has a hot pink blouse and I love when she wears it! I think a blazer would be great for you because you could break up the pink with a simple white top!
