Commonly thought of as a "girly" colour, pink can actually be worn anytime, anywhere, and by anyone who chooses to.

Shades of pink

The pink knitted sweater
Knitted sweaters can look chic in bright colours, and this superbly hot pink version makes us wish for cooler weather. Paired with a pleated mini skirt and thigh-high boots, German model and fashion blogger Alexandra Lapp knows just how to flaunt the unconventional colour.Photo: Getty Images

The bold combo
Spotted during Copenhagen Fashion Week Spring/ Summer 2017, this ensemble definitely catches the eye with its bold colour combination. The oversized trousers look is also one that makes a statement.Photo: Imaxtree

Silk florals
While a silk ensemble such as this can look more like a bedtime getup than an out-and-about outfit, we can't help but be totally enchanted by the floral prints and interesting hemlines that make this richly hued wardrobe choice a winner in our eyes.

Casual and loose-fitting
Any shade of pink goes well with neutral colours, including black. The dark and dusky pink of this loose-fitting pull-over is understated yet casually chic.Photo: Imaxtree

The shimmery accessory
Everyone loves a head-turning accessory - there is nothing better than a shiny bag that screams "look at me". We're loving the glorious pink hue and gold embellishments of this little number.

Odd yet charming
Bright pink may not always go with blue, but in this outfit, the subtle blue highlights in this ensemble don't overpower the statement pink t-shirt with its odd and charming little prints. Photo: Imaxtree

Curious outerwear
This unconventional double-layered dress combo may seem a little confusing, but it looks chic and undeniably comfortable too. We're loving the matching platform sneakers here. A fun and cheeky city outfit.

The pink leather jacket
If a black leather jacket is too severe, why not flaunt a pink version? Nothing beats a unique take on a much-loved fashion staple. The silver embellishments match up well with the bubblegum pink hue here - and we're loving the minimalist dress underneath.

Pastel pink perfection
This ensemble is impressive all on its own, and it isn't hard to see why. The pastel pinks of the oversized jacket and inner blouse look flawless together, and the pink bag blends well with the overall look. Photo: Imaxtree

Pink can be a hard colour to wear sometimes, especially the older you get. It is generally more of a "young" and "youthful" colour that can bring out a very innocent and feminine vibe. Pastel pinks and bright shades of bubblegum and candy pinks can prove to be a challenge to mix and match with other wardrobe items.

Fortunately, it isn't impossible to style an appropriate ensemble with a few pink pieces. Whatever the shade, pink looks fantastic with black - try a pink shirt with black trousers for a simple and easy look, or perhaps a pink sweater and black skirt combo.

If wearing pink feels a little too OTT for you, start small. You don't have to go all-out and don a pair of outrageous fuschia trousers or wrap yourself in a bright pink sweater. Pink shoes or a pink handbag can brighten up any outfit significantly without seeming too in-your-face. Once you are confident enough to flaunt the colour, the possibilities are endless!
