Hot Pink: Colour trend of the moment

Eye popping bright colours are definitely one of the hottest trends of the moment and during Sydney’s Rosemount Fashion Week, everywhere you turned you would be blasted with bright yellows, greens and blues, the most prominent hue of all, HOT PINK.

Colour trends are fickle though, and there’s nothing worse than spending your hard earned dollars on something that you know you’ll end up hating by the time the season’s over. That’s why I thought I’d cover a few different ways you can enjoy playing with a touch of pink this season, without going tragically overboard or spending a fortune.

Clothing
If your happy head out and purchase an eye popping pink piece for your wardrobe then the most popular look of the season is the hot pink blazer or coat. I lost count of how many I saw during my week in Sydney for RAFW. There were also so many creative combination's in how it was worn, I couldn’t narrow it down to a ‘do’ or ‘don’t’ list. I think experimentation and taking the time to play dress ups are the key to making the look work.

Accessories
If you like to dabble in a current trend or two but like to tread on the more cautious side, adding a pink accessory to your outfit is the easiest way to have fun without risking a fashion disaster. Experiment with a hot pink clutch or perhaps a hot pink bra that might peek out from a knitted or sheer top.

Lips
Make sure the rest of your makeup look is natural and let your lips do the talking. The photo of Camilla Belle (above) is the perfect example of this, fresh faced and glowing, her lips are the main focal point. Use a lip brush to apply your pink lippy for a more natural look and I say skip the lip liner pencil altogether unless you have a perfect match for your lipstick, there’s nothing tackier that an obvious outline, especially when it comes to pink!
