Is there such a thing as a fashion rule? Some would say yes, some would say no, some would say it depends. Well, as far as styling pink and red together, there for sure seems to be a rule. It’s a no go, a fashion don’t. Or so I thought. Because those days are behind us. As a matter of fact, pink and red are now an insanely fashionable pairing. Hurray!
Yet, it remains a tricky exercise. How do you style pink and red together without looking like a Valentine’s Day chocolate box?
First, you pick what occasion you’ll be combining those two colors for. A day at university, a stroll in the park, a date night, a day in the office. As far as I am concerned, it wore the outfit in the office. Second is choosing what combination you actually want? Do you want to start small? What about a pink dress and a red necklace? Accessories are not overpowering so the color combination will remain subtle.
Or could it be that you pick a pastel pink dress and style it with a red cross-body back or red ballet pumps? Easy peasy, right?! If you want to go all out, I’d say, red blazer and pink shirt. As far as I am concern, I took a step down: a pink dress and a red denim jacket. They had been send by NA-KD Fashion (get 20% off with CORINNE20) and just proved to be the perfect opportunity to try this new combo.
I choose this frilled dotted wrap dress with a V-neck and styled it with that red denim jacket. The good thing with both is that they go together very well but they would also be super easy to style with other pieces. Because they are so colorful, they are also perfect pieces for summer and spring. The denim jacket has a subtle grungy style that deconstructs the “good girl” style of that dress. LO-VING IT.
So I far as I am concerned, I’d say that styling pink and red went down quite well! And you can get 20% off on that NA-KD Fashion red denim jacket with CORINNE20.

What do you think about styling pink and red together? Is it a colour combination you like? Do you often wear them together? What do you think of how I styled them together? And isn’t this red denim jacket amazing?!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you liked this post.

*Two items listed in this post have been gifted to me but my opinion remains my own.
I was unsure about this combination but ever since Valentine’s Day, when it was a big thing, I fell head over heels in love. I haven’t yet had the chance to pair the two together but I love how you’ve coordinated it! I just love the frills of that dress!
I’d never think to pull this off but it looks stunning x
The valentines chocolate box comment made me giggle. You look beautiful though I always think fashion has no rules.

I love the pink dress! I don’t actually own any red clothing items but if I did, I wouldn’t mind pairing it with my pink clothes. I think this a great outfit! And as always, I love the photos!
I Definietly wouldn’t think to style pink and red together! I’ve always just though they clash too much but seeing you in that dress and jacket it looks amazing! The red pops so much and the link isn’t too much, it’s just nice. Really like how you’ve styled this and I must have that red denim jacket…. I need it in my life.
Love that pink dress – it’s so pretty! This outfit looks great on you! I think the only red piece of clothing I have it a red jumper haha. I have plenty of pink clothing though. Definitely a favourite colour of mine 😀

I’m not going to lie, I have a bit of a weird thing with red and pink as my mum used to wear a red and pink top when I was younger that kind of gave me nightmares, haha! HOWEVER you have styled these pieces absolutely gorgeously and I especially adore the jacket, I’ve been wanting one like that for ages! The dress is soo pretty and girly too, what a perfect summer piece!

I love this outfit! Before seeing this I would have never paired the two together but I love it!
I actually quite like the red/pink combo, it looks great together! I really like how you’ve styled this.

I totally dig this and I love the jacket. Idk if you will get the reference but you look very modern day aeris! (she wears a pink dress with a red jacket)
This dress looks amazing on you! I very rarely wear bright colours so definitely haven’t attempted the pink and red combination but you styled this look brilliantly. Also, great photos next to the car x

Oh gorgeous! These are not two colours I would ever have put together before but they do look great and make a real statement!
Pink and red go together really well! You rocked your outfit flawlessly and the red jacket goes really nicely with the pink dress. I totally agree with starting out small! May seem weird at first but it actually works out. I love gray/black or gray/navy!

Love the look! I don’t really care what fashion says, if I like something then I wear it. Also, some combinations/colors look better on some people than others.
Not many people would style pink and red together so I do applaud you for bravery! ahha
It’s a bold move. My clothes are mostly dark colors. I love the red color and some shades of pink as well, but I don’t know if I would be so brave to combine the two of them. You look great. The jacket is awesome.
Red is my color, I love wearing it! I honestly don’t own anything pink!! I’ll consider this if I do buy pink: you are rocking this combo!
So I’ve pretty much avoided these colours together but you look great! I’m going to look like a walking advert for Valentine’s Day from now on thanks to you ???❤️
I’ve always liked these colors together. I’m a huge fan of your red jacket–I just love how the color pops.
That look is so cute! I love the polka dots.

Interesting combination. I don’t really pay that much attention to colour comninations but I don’t think I could do a pink and red combination. But if it works for you then go for it.
You are most definitely rocking the pink and red together, I have to admit I don’t think they are colours I would have thought about wearing together at all before.
I don’t think I have anything pink in my wardrobe. I do however have a beautiful red jacket, similar with yours, that I don’t wear that often. Maybe I should start wearing it this season.
I just laughed aloud at you comparing the colours to a Valentine’s chocolate box haha!!
You’ve styled this in such a gorgeous way! I genuinely never would’ve thought about these two colours together, they are so close so the ‘clash’ is from the same family and looks ace when styled right!

Red is my favorite color, and I don’t think I’ve ever styled it with pink. I don’t really wear much pink to begin with but I love how you styled this dress, plus I love the accessories and the shoes!! Such a pretty outfit Corinne x
I love that dress so much!!! You look amazing in it! I think these work really well together, they’re both quite bold and that really makes the whole outfit look brilliant!

I think this post was made for me. Pink and red are my absolute FAVORITE colors and everything I buy is either pink or red. To me, they’ve always matched well and I’ve never considered those colors not going well together. If they don’t match, then my bedroom is a mismatched disaster then, I suppose!

I don’t really have anything pink or red, but you’ve done a great job putting the two together. I love all of your looks! The pink dress with the ruffle is my favorite.
You look stunning, I was just eating a croissant and I just second guessed my nest bite. You look really good. Plus your dress is gorgeous, love how bright it is.
As you know I am somewhat of an old hand when it comes to styling pink and red together and I might have squealed a little bit when I saw you wearing that red jacket because I knew that I immediately needed it in my life ASAP haha! And that pink dress from NAKD Fashion is super cute as well xx
I’ve always kinda liked pink and red together, myself. Your combination is SUPER cute!!!
I really like this colour combo! ?❤️ That red jacket is awesome and the pink dress is so pretty. You pulled off this look so well and look gorgeous! Great post Corinne ? xx

I think pink and red go quite nicely together! I loved your outfit and the backdrop of the car added just the right “something” to the photos. Love it all!
I was always so unsure of wearing this color combination together. I never knew how good they both could look together until I saw your post! That dress and jacket looked fabulous together.
I love the frill dress. It is super stylish and cute. Great for the season. You stayed this look for sure.
Pink and red are difficult to pull off together, but this looks great! The combination is just the right shades of each and perefct for Spring or Summer.
I have often considered it a taboo combination, but this is a real mind changer, woow, you styled it perfectly. Really great, showing this to my girlfriend. I bet she would fall head of hills in love with this.

I love your choice! Styling outfits with colors near each other on the rainbow might be hard sometimes, unless the colors are neutral. This was an amazing outfit, thanks for sharing! 🙂
I have never thought of that! I will refer this to my mum as soon as possible. Thanks!
