Why pink’s not just for Wednesdays

It’s not just for Wednesdays ... the style team show you how

-

There’s no better time thanautumn to brighten up your wardobe. And while wearing pink topto-toe may seem daunting, this trend is extremely wearable. From fuchsia to blush tones, there’s something to suit everyone this season. Think about what you want to emphasise – whether that’s your waist, long legs, a petite frame or a curvy figure. Also, be aware of what works with your skin tone and hair colour. Some shades will look better than others – it’s a case of trial and error to see what works best for you. So, whether you want to go all-out or mix the trend in with classic denim pieces or crisp white, the heat style team are here to show you how to wear the look. You’re welcome.

MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU

● To emphasise or create an hourglass figure, define the waist by making this the focal point of your look – tuck in your top or belt your dress, for example. ● If you’re conscious of your bottom half, darker shades are more forgiving – keep lighter tones up top. ● Draw the eye away from the area you’d rather not focus on – try streamline­d shapes, longer lines and layers or fluted styles that will skim your figure.

“Whereas I’m usually the one who likes a more classic style, I’ve gone OTT and clashed my textures with faux fur and velvet. The bias cut of this dress means it skims over the areas I’m more conscious of, while teaming with DMS helps me channel my inner Villanelle.”

“I decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and go ladylike. As my pieces were quite simple, I really wanted to go all-out with the colour, and so opted to clash different shades of pink. The addition of a longline coat is great for elongating my petite frame.”

“I love pink, but I’ve mixed in blue denim to make my look more wearable for day-to-day. I’ve gone for an oversized coat and jumper, but streamline­d the look with skinny jeans to avoid swamping my shape. And heels are always my go-to for lengthenin­g legs.”
