Pink jackets are making a splash in the fashion world. Modern and youthful, they can add a touch of whimsy to any outfit you decide to wear them with. But with so many ways to style them, how can you choose just one? Don’t worry—we’ve got your back. We’ve put together plenty of ideas to help you nail your look for both casual and dressy occasions.

1

Pair pink with neutral colors.

This combo makes for an easy outfit option. Since your pink jacket is already a statement piece, you can easily make outfits by throwing it on with neutral colors. All black, all white, or all tan looks go great with pink jackets, and you can keep your jacket on or take it off throughout the day.^{[1]

2

Throw on a T-shirt and skinny jeans for a classic outfit.

It’s the outfit that never fails! Go with dark wash jeans, a plain T-shirt, and some ballet flats for a cute, simple look. Throw on your pink denim jacket or blazer to tie your look together and seem a little more polished.^{[2]

- Or, you could spice up your outfit with a graphic or band T-shirt.
- Try carrying your wallet and keys in a small handbag you can throw over your shoulder to complete this outfit.

Wear a pink denim jacket with a skirt.

This is a great way to keep things cool and casual. If you’re heading out to lunch with a friend and you don’t want to look too dressed up, wear a skirt, blouse, and a pink denim jacket on top. Pair it with minimal jewelry and a small backpack to keep your stuff in for the ultimate laid back outfit.^{[3]

Put on a pair of light wash denim shorts.

This is the perfect look for summer. If you’re going out in shorts, grab your pink denim jacket or motorcycle jacket and throw it on whenever you get cold. It will look great with a pair of distressed denim shorts and a loose T-shirt.^{[4]

Expert Answer

Neon pink in general looks good on darker skin tones. If you have lighter skin, light and medium pinks look nice, but avoid anything that's pastel, as it could make you look washed out.
