I’ve always loved pink and have a huge soft spot for the super girly shade. The cutesy colour was redefined and ready for this autumn thanks to Preen, whose AW16 collection completely embraced the pretty pastel shade giving it a tougher, modern edge.

Soft shades of pink were also spotted on the autumn/winter catwalks at Holly Fulton and Alexander McQueen whilst richer, darker raspberry shades were seen at Roksanda. The shade has, of course, transferred onto the high street with our favourite shops releasing everything from coats to cardigans and tees to trainers in the colour of the season.

Even girls who were previously ‘allergic’ to the shade couldn’t possibly resist the candy coloured coat or bubblegum blouse? The rich ruffled velvet top I picked up from Asos has been my go-to all season!

It’s not just my wardrobe that’s been taken over by the colour of the moment, I’ve been majorly lusting after blush toned home wear too (I mean how dreamy is this throw!?) I’m so into dusky, pastel pink shades at the moment as the covetable chalky hues just really pop – whether that’s against a grey and white themed room or a simple Breton and jeans and I can’t get enough!

There’s a shade for everyone’s style and sensibility – shop a few of my favourite new-in styles from three of the best places below…
