If you get me started on colour combinations, I’ll almost always come back to pink and red. It’s one of those pairings that shouldn’t work on paper, but somehow always does. Whenever I’m stuck in a styling rut, it’s the energising yet romantic combination I almost always reach for.
Stepping out this week, Victoria Beckham made my case, styling a body-skimming dress in a delicate shade of pale pink and finishing the look with simple red strappy sandals. The red sharpens the sweetness of the pink, while the pink softens the boldness of the red, striking that perfect in-between.

There’s a lightness to the combination that feels especially right for summer, too. Bright, but not overwhelming, and interesting without feeling over-styled. Compared to classic black and white, it has a warmth and ease that feels much more in tune with the season.
If your wardrobe is starting to feel a little repetitive, this is a simple way to shake things up without stepping too far outside your comfort zone. Even just a hint, a red sandal with a blush dress, or a pink top with a cherry-toned bag, can completely shift the feel of an outfit.
