What colours go with pale pink?

[tryingtoleave]

I bought this fabric today www.tessuti-shop.com/products/queens-quartz, planning to make a summer dress but then started to think that I probably have enough dresses and that it would make a nice autumn blouse. Only problem is I can't work out what colour skirt it would go with. Any suggestions would be appreciated

pale grey?

[tryingtoleave]

I tried putting a grey skirt next to it but it didn't quite look right. But I'm just not very confident I think.

[whoneedssleepanyway]

some kind of neutral/ beige but a kind of warm pinky one if that makes sense....

[MilliONaire]

charcoal
chocolate brown
navy

[higgle]

fuschia

[onmyfeet]

The same colour, but solid, with no pattern.

[YunoYurbubson]

Chocolate brown.

I have a similar problem. I made a skirt and it hangs sadly in the wardrobe because nothing goes with it.

[PlentyOfParsnips]

sage green
slate blue
beige/brown
grey

I've matched a similar colour to fawn before.

I think pale pink requires confidence- think licorice allsorts

So black, orange, purple, green, blue, yellow- but all the same tone IYSWIM.

Depending on your colouring, I would go for a mint green or orange skirt with a black belt and lilac tights- but I go very full on with colour. Tone it down with a cream belt and black opaques and shoes if you don't want to do the coloured tights thing.

Well DD is wearing a dress in similar colour with chocolate brown tights and silver shoes and looks fab If a tad like a neopolitan ice-cream.

But yes, charcoa and navy also good.

Tethers much much braver than me.

brown

Oh dear - I was hoping there was just an easy answer that everyone knew except me. I'm thinking brown might be best now. Is black a no no ?

[cabbageroses]

camel
grey
taupe/mushroom shades

Brown, IMO, is too harsh a contrast and will kill it.

[cabbageroses]

Black is def a no-no. The only colour that goes with black is black or grey. anything else looks cheap.

[tethersend]

Brown works well, especially with cream accessories. Grey looks washed out, although could work if you have the right colouring.

Black works a treat, sorry cabbage- you are so, so wrong

[tiokiko]

Definitely grey - pale or charcoal depending on what you prefer.

[traceybath]

Oh yes black looks good too.

I know trinny and susannah had that thing about black but I just think its wrong. Navy and black looks good.

And brown and pale pink is lovely.

[tethersend]

This is going to kick off

[JakeBrake]

Yes. Where was krystal carringtom withoutblackandpink

[traceybath]

I adored Krystal's clothes and her hair - that fringe that had wings at the sides . . .

[loobylu3]

Agree with tracey- chocolate brown would look lovely with that pink.
I think grey looks great with a cooler, more bluey pink but that pink looks warmer and more orangey in tone.

[cabbageroses]

Black will just kill it. it's a lovely soft colour and if you use a dark non-colur( black is technically not a colour) it will wipe out the lovely warm hue of the pink.

[tethersend]

Rubbish. Black contrasts with and highlights the softness of the pink.

[ZZZenAgain]

I agree with you townsend, I think black is fine with other colours. Depends a bit on your own looks/personality whether you can carry off black or not IMO
