We all love a bit of pink in our wardrobes but often shy away from wearing it in the workplace; luckily you don’t have to give up your favourite colour since there are lots of grown-up shades of pink that are perfect for the office.
The Pantone colours for 2016 included the lovely, grown-up shade of rose, a soft ‘dirty’ pastel pink. This colour looks great on lots of different skin tones and goes well with black, white and nude neutral tones. You can even match it up with the other Pantone colour of the year Serenity, a dusty pastel blue.
