I’ve talked about the white shirt a couple of times, and I will continue to do so regularly, about the light blue shirt, and now it’s time to cover the soft pink shirt. THE classic colours when it comes to shirts. A simple photo can dream up an entire blog post. It’s often the case with me and this time it was this first photo of Shini. The pink shirt, but there are many details to think of. The palest shade of pink, that looks almost white in the sunlight. The sleeves: long, but worn rolled-up. The cut: classic, drawn from the men’s wardrobe, not too tight but not boyfriend-style either. The fabric: cotton.
I don’t own a plain pink shirt yet, but I have a pretty clear idea of how I would wear it.
• With jeans. Favourite option: blue jeans. I prefer to pair the look with heels, but it works with flats too, because the shirt is so classic and the outfit won’t appear too casual.
• With denim pencil skirt and probably flats, because I like the unexpected feel the matching of knee length and pencil shape with flats brings.
• With wide-legged trousers, but never with heels. Too office-like. I always stick to flats when it comes to tailored pants and shirts.
• With short pants and flats: because there is nothing that looks better for a summer weekend attire, especially our kind of summer.
How would you wear yours?

Love a good pink shirt! xoxo
Ada, I think you have given us ideas to style the pink shirt in the best ways! I’m a fan of the white and of the pale blue, but the pink version is missing in my wardrobe. Maybe next time I visit a Uniqlo store I’ll try the male fit model suggested by Shini. Thanks for the suggetions!
Honestly, I never thought of having a pink shirt.
I think my favourite are the white and pale blue ones because the colour looks better on me. Love your style ideas very much – just perfect!

I love the look of pink shirts but I don’t have one myself. I’m wearing a pair of fuschia pants today and I bet one would look great with them. Thanks for the idea!

I remember seeing one of the olsen twins with exactly this type of shirts, sleeves rolled, straight leg jean rolled and a black flat chelsea boot – it worked – i would like it with a boyfriend jean – chelsea boot – old inspector gadget mac – hat and my celine brown cross body bag – have a very fab easter Ada xx

It’s so funny that you write about the pink shirt today Ada, I just opened a box of summer things yesterday and peeked under the folded up sun dresses, kaftans, etc. and saw my favorite pale pink and white thin striped seersucker J Crew blouse…just waiting for warmer weather! It gave me a momentary thrill to remember my favorite blouse still exists! I am such a pink wearing girl at heart!
Hope you are having a wonderful day–and lovely post!

Love a pink shirt – so good for the complexion. Definitely flats for me for all your options – skinny jeans (black or grey or coloured) with ballet flats or sandals. Shirt out or tied loosely at the waist (front only). A great summer staple. Have a fabulous weekend! x
That is the perfect shade of pink!! I’ve got to find a shirt that shade now.
Happy almost weekend!
Lovely shirt! Have a fabulous weekend ahead, Kellie xx
I’d go for jeans and either heels or flats. I love that second photo of Shini.
I’d never thought too much about wearing a pink shirt, but you are right, it is definitely a classic item. I think it could work really nicely in a linen shirt too for a more casual look xx
I have more pink shirts than I can count. But this one is perfection! Happy weekend to you, Ada!

A lot of people think that only the white bottom down shirt is need it, but i also think pink is a must!
