Ditch the millennial pink.

Blush is cooler than you think

MAKE ’EM

BLUSH

Oh crikey, I hear you cry. Is that

an underboob I spy? I’m afraid,

dear gals, it’s time to ditch the

bra, snip the T-shirt and say

hello to the bust below.

Pink can be a discombobulating colour.

Each tone has myriad connotations. Is it

millennial? Princessy? Or just a bit fl eshy?

Yet while it’s a rosey-hued minefi eld, to pa

on pink entirely is to miss out on all sorts

of fashion fabulousness. Luckily for all yo

pink sceptics, salvation is here. And it’s al

sorts of blush. From the Victoriana sheer

dresses at Carolina Herrera, to the melang

of peachy ’70s styles in satin, suede and

leather at Nina Ricci, blush has grown up

and become cool. It was even given a stre

friendly makeover by New York label Sies

Marjan, who sent Bella Hadid shimmying

down the runway in rose-gold-leather

cropped fl ares. And there can’t be anything

much less princessy than leather trousers.
