Light Pink and Dull Grey Fashion Clothing Combination
I have written about the most popular pastel colors in previous posts, discussing which neutral colors pair best with them during the spring and summer seasons. I wrote about pastel pistachio green and rich chocolate brown being the color combo of 2025. I wrote about the new contrast colors, which are butter yellow and black, and provided examples of chic clothing options you can wear. The pastel colors and neutral colors I have failed to discuss, which many top fashion magazines often write about, include cotton candy pink and grey. The light and youthful cotton candy pink would brighten up the dull and wisdom grey color of the outfit.
Cotton Candy pink was shown on the runways of Brandon Maxwell, Miu Miu, and Jil Sander for their spring and summer fashion collections. A light pastel color, such as cotton candy pink, was expected to be showcased in fashion, as we associate light colors with spring and summer. Surprisingly, a color usually showcased during fall and winter fashion shows, grey, has been seen on multiple runways. Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, and Stella McCartney help give rise to grey, becoming the color of spring and summer.
