Pink Aesthetic: Everything You Need to Know

 

Pink color has experienced a rollercoaster journey in popularity over the years. Originally considered a ‘boy’ color, it has most commonly been associated with hyper-feminine and girly aesthetics. It has also undergone major criticism, often tied to a ‘mean girl’ or ‘dumb blonde’ trope. However, it has since undergone a radical transformation, reclaimed by people who wish to celebrate its beauty. Today, pink holds no gender and doesn’t stick to the status quo, so why should you? Whether you enjoy monochrome ensembles, you love the ’80s, or you want to unleash your inner Regina George, there is something here sure to inspire.

 

What is Lovecore?

Lovecore is the celebration of nostalgia and feelings associated with love. With its highly visual nature, it primarily features pink and red, hearts, and Cupid. This trend began with the romanticization of Valentine’s Day in the ’40s and ’50s when the teenage generation emerged and started to rebel. Sub-cultures surround the relationships and themes of Shakespeare’s works, the courting of Byronic heroes in Victorian times. You can also find overlaps with Anime and Angelcore. Some of the staple pieces in this aesthetic include heart prints and shaped accessories, puff-sleeved dresses, crop tops, and plenty of pink, red and purple.

Soft Pastel Pink Aesthetic

Nothing says ‘delicate’ quite like pastels. The soft and buttery undertones of this pink make for the perfect spring or summer outfit, and there are many different ways that you can style it. Cardigans, polo necks, and button-down shirts all look incredible in this light shade, and you can interchange them with different silhouettes on the bottom for a versatile look.

Pink and Blue Aesthetic

As opposite shades on the color wheel, it is no surprise why this mix is so cute. Blue and pink match each other perfectly, which means you can find a great mixture of shades to work into your outfit. Give a Y2K spin with the go-to outfit, ‘jeans and a cute top,’ with wide-leg denim, a cardigan, and a cropped cami. Bonus points if you find one with a strawberry, heart, or cloud print. If you’re feeling a bit more boho chic, you can fuse the hues in a pastel palette and add a third tone, too. Pick something between the two, such as lemon yellow, which evokes feelings of warmth and sunshine. To channel a street style aesthetic, combine a hot pink blazer with royal blue bicycle shorts – break it up with a white T-shirt and chunky sneakers for balance and unity.

Pink Vintage Aesthetic

Take yourself back to another decade by channeling a vintage aesthetic with a pink palette. Whether your inspiration is Edie Sedgwick, Rita Hayworth, or Marilyn Monroe, every decade has its own interpretation of this shade.

The ’50s had so many different silhouettes that you can choose from, so seek inspiration from some of the biggest film stars of the time. Many wore designs by Oleg Cassini, Edith Head, or William Travilla, often adorned by Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Elizabeth Taylor.
