Who says older women can’t wear pink? Styling tips to consider

The first rule of women’s fashion is you can be chic at any age. The color pink, while usually associated with 16-year-old girls and or their much younger counterparts who want the color in their ice cream and dresses, can still work its charm on women age 50 and above. Here are simple ways to make pink your color no matter how old (or young at heart) you are.


Use it as a milder version of red

If you feel red is too strong or overpowering on you, you can choose pink for the same symbol of romance, love, and being in touch with your feminine side. In this case, soft, muted pinks are preferable to electric hot pink hues that are more in sync with younger crowds.


Pair it with dainty white

Show off a cool-lady sensibility with a pink and white combination. Imagine a gossamer fine cashmere sweater in light pink paired with white cropped trousers. Throw in a scarf in a deeper pink shade for a fabulous additional touch.

Pick the right pink for your complexion

As a general rule, those with extremely fair complexions usually take kindly to dusty and mid-range family tones. Light skin tones typically work well with pale shades, along with carnation and watermelon hues. Those with gorgeous olive undertones to their skin can radiate in salmon, coral, and sometimes even bright pink. Darker skin tones are amazing with very pale, very bright, or very dark pinks.


Remember: Fit first, color second

Keep color in perspective. What this means is compared to fit, it’s not that important, because what you technically want to really achieve is a good fit for your body. Color can be added later on.
