And who is buying it?

I just bought a bright pink coat, so me!

Skinnermarink · 08/12/2022 13:24

I was ahead of the curve and bought a hot pink beret last year, rocking it.

Amazongirl9 · 08/12/2022 13:25

I noticed that. Masses of it in Selfridges, and then saw several
people on the tube in bright pink.

Dittosaw · 08/12/2022 13:26

I guess it’s easy to wear with black

Got a beautiful bright pink coat from Primark earlier in the year. I love it! Looks great with a tangerine crossbody

Bright pink always looks a happy colour in winter. I'm sporting bright pink scarf and bag, way more cheerful than just my plain black or navy coat.

Happy to see this - I love bright pink. It suits my colouring perfectly.

MintChocCornetto · 08/12/2022 13:50

I think it's great. Bought a dress I have no occasion to wear in a bright pink 😎

TheYearOfSmallThings · 08/12/2022 13:50

I quite like it - it's a cheerful colour.

GreenwichVillage83 · 08/12/2022 13:51

I'm a bright winter so it suits me

StreamingCervix · 08/12/2022 13:55

Valentino had a whole collection of hot pink last year I think it was, so it’s very much the on trend colour.

reminds me of that scene in the devil wears Prada when Meryl Streep totally deconstructs the blue jumper Anne Hathaway is wearing.

Barbie Core

I have a Barbour jacket and cord skirt, both bought in the charity shops that are the right pink for the aesthetic.

HelloBunny · 08/12/2022 13:57

Saw a pink suit in a shop window.
I’m tempted...

Ladyofthelake53 · 08/12/2022 13:59

Ive never worn pink ever, i do like it though. Im auburn with ambery brown eyes and neutral cool skin. Have no idea,what pink would suit me. Years ago i used to wear hot pink lipstick and that looked ok.

I think its nice to see a bright colour in this grey miserable weather

Ohmygoshposh · 08/12/2022 14:00

Love hot pink.

Shouldn’t be worn with black though - black “cheapens” bright colours. Try it with grey, navy or burgundy, or it can look good with less obvious colours like red or orange. Trinny’s videos are good for explaining why we should resist the urge to team colours with black.

ShandaLear · 08/12/2022 14:03

Me! I bought an amazing pink wool winter coat last year and I feel a million dollars in it. Life is short and shit and this wonderful colour is the epitome of exuberance, confidence and joy.

FB546 · 08/12/2022 14:06

I think after the last couple of years we need a bit of bright fashion (and sparkly sequins!).

Someone once said it looks like a liquorice allsort teamed with black. That puts me off.

I didn't know it was fashionable, but I occasionally wear (haven't yet this year) a three quarter length sleeve bright pink fitted jumper with a burgundy skirt and they go very well together, in my opinion.

Pp's post reminded me. It was an accidental discovery for me, though.

LoobyDop · 08/12/2022 14:29

I love most shades of pink, very pleased there’s so much of it around at the moment. As someone else said, bright pink looks amazing with burgundy.

LadyEloise1 · 08/12/2022 15:12

I love pink.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 08/12/2022 17:22

I bought a bright pink jacket this year (spring or summer). I like it but I don’t think I’d buy anything else in the same colour.

NeedWineNow · 08/12/2022 17:23

I was Xmas shopping yesterday and there was loads of pink in the shops. Personally I love it. I bought a bright pink jumper a few weeks ago and it really cheers me when I wear it. Similarly DH bought me a bright pink bag for my birthday which lifts my winter coat which is a greeny -teal colour.

I'm coveting the pink boots that are in Primark at the moment but I've been in two stores and they only have small sizes sadly (sob). Was sorely tempted by the completely frivolous and unnecessary glittery pink bag that they had though......

TwoBlondes · 08/12/2022 17:28

Did someone say pink? Saw this coat in the flesh and the quality was beautiful. Not sure I'd go the whole raspberry ripple though.

What is with the bright pink anywhere?
LoobyDop · 08/12/2022 20:03

That’s a gorgeous outfit! I know some people aren’t keen on the paint chart effect, but I really like it.
