Weekend Wear: How to Pull off the Colour Everyone’s Crazy About Right Now
Millennial pink. Chances are you’ve seen this phrase floating around the web, describing the of-the-moment colour that is removing the stigma around pink for both guys and girls. It’s a pastel, but it doesn’t have the preppy connotations that usually entails. If anything, it’s more of a rose-tinted beige that has become a streetwear favourite and is popping up on everything from coats to pants to shoes. The easiest way to rock it? Build an outfit you’d normally wear with a grey crewneck sweater, and then swap that out for one in a pink-y hue. Hey, if it’s good enough for Drake, it’s good enough for us.
