Occasionally my friends come to me for the odd styling tip, and while sometimes we talk seasonally specific trends, most often I end up focusing on elegant colour combinations, rather than off-the-moment silhouettes. As such, I’m always on the lookout for new duos to add to my own rotation, which is why I was particularly pleased when a fresh set of images of Catherine, Princess of Wales landed on my desk. In them, she showcased one of the chicest, most delicate colour pairings I’ve seen in a while.
Skirting past reliable black, white, and even overlooking the heavily trending chocolate brown trend, Middleton instead stepped out in a pale pink blouse styled with a soft grey suit. Both subtler shades with an understated energy, the light blush injects a sense of freshness and optimism, while the grey grounds it with calm sophistication that makes the pairing feel so wearable.
While Middleton demonstrated the look with a chic, tailored grey suit and pretty pink blouse, the colour combination easily translates into more casual wardrobes, too. Imagine a chunky pink knit layered beneath a woollen grey coat, or blush accessories set against a slate-grey base.
Inspired by this palette, I’ll be championing pink and grey across the rest of the season. Read on for my edit of pieces I've spotted so far.
