The hue on everyone’s lips this fashion season: Vibrant pink. In terms of symbolism, pink stands for playfulness, youth and femininity, which explains the continuous use of this colour throughout fashion history.
In a bid to maximise and push the limits of how far one colour could be used for various cuts, shapes and fabrics, Valentino’s creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli worked with the Pantone Color Institution to mix a new shade of pink – Pink PP – for Valentino’s fall/winter 2022 collection.
The entire show — and the shades of pink — became an overnight sensation overnight with the genius of Piccioli’s bold choice. Although the gowns, pantsuits and accessories were magnificent, it will be a while before we can get our hands on anything Pink PP.
In the meantime, here are some wildly different but wearable style ideas you can try.

Oversized clothing is back in trend but styling it isn’t easy — the wrong proportions could make you look shorter than you really are. The right footwear, however, can rectify the situation in a snap, like this pair of thigh-high boots. Pair it with an oversized pink cardigan for that extra oomph!

Make It Metallic

Textures are important when it comes to standing out in a crowd – it adds dimensions and life to any ensemble. Metallic finishes can be gaudy but all of that goes out the window when layered with a simple button-down white shirt. It’s all about thinking out of the box.

Proportions Matter

A casual look can be elevated by keeping the proportions right. Crop tops elongate your torso while wide-leg cargo pants create an inverted V-shape that adds structure to the overall look.
