How to Wear Pink Pants
From dusty rose to hot pink pants, there are so many different options to choose from colorwise. In general, a black and white short-sleeve striped t-shirt is a casual yet chic and stylish option that goes with just about any pink on the color scale.
Additionally, a beige or any neutral color, sweater, or cardigan is great for cooler weather.
If you’re feeling bold, matching your top to the color of your pink pants is a stylish way to attract attention. In the form of a pants suit paired with a blazer, you can also feel powerful at the office. Hot pink pants with a neon-colored top are also a head-turner.
If you’re somewhere between feminine and grunge, pairing a black or gray graphic tee with pink pants is a perfect balance.
Which Styles Are Most Popular Right Now?
First things first, I love skinny jeans and pants. However, if you’ve been following the action on the runways these days, you may have noticed that long-loved skinny pant styles are nowhere to be seen. These days, it seems like the roomier bootcut pants are, the better.
Luckily, that still gives us a lot of creativity when choosing the fabric and overall shape. Pink cargo pants, anyone? Pink flare pants? Pink joggers, capri, jeggings, sweatpants, lounge pants, wide leg pants? Count me in. If you’re feeling really loud, pink leather pants will definitely get you noticed.
Much like the slim fit fit is gone, so is ultra-high rise and high waist pants. We are seeing more pants that come right up below the belly button, mid-rise, and even a few low-rise options. Looks like our mothers were right when they said that fashion always repeats itself.
How Should They Fit?
The simplest answer to this question is: comfortably. You should be able to easily fit one finger between the waist of the pants and your body.
It’s always a good idea to walk around a bit and to sit down in the pants before purchasing. Make sure they don’t pinch or rub you in a specific area that causes you pain.
Ideally, they should not pucker out in any places, including the upper-middle back.

Even though Rihanna hasn’t publicly announced the sex of her baby, she sure has been wearing a lot of pink lately. Is it a clue? I’m not sure, but I’m loving the style either way. She recently stepped out in loose, distressed, low-rise light pink jeans. She paired them with a bubble-gum pink bralette and a brown jacket.
One style I can not recommend was worn by Angelique Morgan, AKA Frenchy, from VH1’s Rock of Love series. She was recently spotted in buttless pink pants. Yes, that’s right… there was a circle cut out of each buttcheek of the pants.
Even some men have been jumping on the trend of wearing pink pants. Take it from Nick Jonas, Ranveer Singh, and Neo, who make the style look effortless and masculine.
