Style Notes

* Anchor pink with neutrals like white, camel or black for a low-fi approach to the trend.

* Accessories are an inexpensive low-commitment way to inject some hot hues into your wardrobe.

* Choose the right shade for your hair and skin tone. Pale? Opt for softer pastels. Dark? Brave it in bright neon.

* Vivid hues demand a clean silhouette. If opting for a statement dress, keep detail to a minimum and let the colour shine.
