Hot Pink

Most closely associated with the 1980s neon obsession, hot pink is still a viable color option for those who love to think pink. While recent chatter focuses on the soft blush of millennial pink and the dusky deep-seated rose of pacific pink, we’re turning up the volume on everyone’s favorite color (hi Barbie!). And, while pink and red have long been a no-go, new fashion rules prove this combo is a hard yes. When it comes to adding a pop of hot pink to your wardrobe, anything goes. When paired with neutrals, hot pink looks youthful and on-trend but not over the top. Some fun options to match with bright pink include camel, black, white, denim, dove gray, and even animal prints. Adding just one fiery pink scarf, sweater, or accessory to your wardrobe can instantly update your style quotient. Want to go bold?
