Black and Pink: Do They Go Together?

Best

Yes. Black is a neutral, so it lets pink be the accent without clashing. Most outfits put black as the jacket or coat and pink on top.

The two colours

What black and pink each bring

black

The deepest neutral: sharp, formal and slimming, with no temperature of its own. It makes any colour next to it look brighter, which is why it's the safest background for a bold piece.

Works best as: Trousers, shoes, outerwear and evening pieces. Near the face it can look severe on light, soft colouring.

pink

A soft, light pink. Gentle and warm, it's more versatile than people think, especially as a shirt or knit.

Works best as: Shirts, knits and dresses.
