Lady LUX

Perfectly dreamy with just the right amount of sweetness, rose pink made a bold statement on the Spring runways. From dusty shades to blush tones, Givenchy, Lanvin, Alexander McQueen and Valentino found the popular color was a gorgeous choice for monochrome outfits or to provide a soft, accenting touch. Its neutral sensibility makes it easy to match with other pieces, as well as extremely flattering. Read on to see LadyLUX’s favorite rose picks!

To channel a bit of Givenchy, rose skinny pants are a must. A sleek silhouette can be achieved with No. 21 skinnies that feature welt hip pockets and hidden zips at the cuff – leave unzipped for a statement. Pair the pants with a matching color tank or blouse for a head-to-toe rose ensemble. For a colorful Spring feel, complement the softness with a vibrant, floral-print blouse.

Peplum silhouettes are as major this Spring as shades of rose. Parker’s strapless bustier silk top boasts a sweetheart neckline and ruched peplum. The flirty top can be seamlessly combined with cropped, fitted white pants for a breezy daytime look or with edgy snakeskin pants for a night out on the town. Toughen the look up with a solid platform to avoid an overly girly feel.

Ideal for warm, sunny days or as a layering piece, ACNE’s jersey tank is a simple basic that will become a staple in your wardrobe. Pump up the top’s effortless vibe with cut-off shorts or drawstring pants. On cooler days, add a lightweight striped scarf and a denim or draped blazer to stay chic.

In a blush-rose tone, Rory Beca’s tie-front blouse can freshen up any office outfit. Pair the neutral top with black, fitted trousers to balance the slouchy silhouette and maintain some edginess. For a brighter style, the shade can harmonize well with lively yellow or red pants. Complete the look with a unique gold necklace.

Light rose shades are the epitome of romance, and there is nothing more romantic than Tibi’s long, flowing skirt. The silk-chiffon pleated skirt would look breathtaking with an off-white sweater and oversized clutch. Style it with a pair of open-toe booties for a modern touch.

And quite possible the most effortlessly stylish option, Thayer’s woven dress can go from daytime strolls on the beach to a casual night out with the boyfriend. The woven dress features front patch pockets, perfect to stash lip gloss and your cell phone. Complete the slightly boxy silhouette with chunky platforms or wedges.
