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

I spent most of my 20s ( now decades ago) wearing black and pink and I now wonder WHY !

Anything "goes" with black as it is a non colour but does black bring out the best in the other colour? No.

I bet you looked brilliant in your 20s.

I have studied colour theory, and have concluded that it is mostly bollocks.

Black and pale pink goes.

I love brown and pale pink. My sister hates brown clothes however, and always tells me 'nobody ever pulled in brown'....

well we shall have to agree to disagree.
when I think of all the black skirts and trousers I wore with pale pink blouses or jumpers, I just think "HOW unimaginative!"

Would you put a black carpet in a room with lovely pale pink silky curtains? Or a black sofa with pale pink cushions?

Or would you put a carpet with in a soft mushroom, silver grey or cream?
No brainer to me

Chocolate brown would be my first choice. Followed by grey then black then navy.

Yes, I like browns and black with pale pink too. lovely contrast.

But not navy

I would say brown cord! I don't think it's a black and pink kind of pink, it looks (on my computer) a slightly peachy pink which would look awful with black.

Or grey wool

Black and pale pink as in the AP packaging is tres chic.

Plonks herself down with Tethers

Denim

I think black would go with that colour. I have seen a lot of dresses recently that are black lace with a pale pink slip underneath.

Tracy B I am shocked at you I always thought you were very stylish and had impeccable taste. What's happened today?

I would say most greys would go.

Black would be ok. I'm not a big fan of brown and pink though I know it's a "recognised" combination.

Darkish denim would look good I think.

look pale pink with black trim - lovely

I also think pale pink and black is very coco chanel but thats possibly just my imagination

But you know black polyester slacks and a pale pink nylon blouse - not such a good look

I think this looks nice.

Oh and khaki looks nice with pale pink. I've got a shirt in that peachy/pink colour and wore it a lot last summer with khaki coloured trousers.

And despite my blathering about black - I actually only ever wear black with black [edges closer to cabbages]

Brown, black, mint or cream will all look good - also silvery grey

Cabbage, my living room is painted black & I have a burnt orange leather sofa. I am 1970s obsessed though, so my house is like a timewarp.

I may make some pale pink cushions just to prove a point

I wouldn't allow soft mushroom through my front door unless it was clothing. It's very bleh in the house IMO.

Anyway, agree to disagree, yes.

I think it would look divine with black.

Chanel agrees with me

x post with about a thousand people- including tracey who is a GENIUS.

Loving 'chanel agrees with me' And I knew it had chanel-connotations. [slides back towards tethers]

And Dexter. And Fatty.

dark grey
brown

well, that says it all Tether.

I now see why you think that black would look okay.

And the AP look cheap. Tarty. Not nice.

Oh dear cabbage- don't be upset. It's not easy being right all the time, you know.

You can come round for a spot of fondue if you like to make it up? Bit of Arctic roll?
