If you ever find yourself stuck in a style rut, playing with fun new color combinations is a great way to liven up your wardrobe. Bright and bold shades are definitely in for spring and one of my favorite color combinations to wear at the moment is red and pink.

Red and pink are oftentimes considered “clashing colors,” but since they’re actually analogous colors (next to each other on the color wheel), these two shades can be paired together to create some surprisingly chic looks.

Need some outfit ideas before you try out this color combination? Scroll on down to check out three stylish red and pink outfits for inspiration:

Outfit #1: Ready for Class

If you’re a little color shy, this outfit is a great way to test the waters of wearing red and pink, as both shades are muted rather than in-your-face-bright. Start by pairing a light pink gingham shirt with some dark red high-waisted shorts. Add a pair of fun floral print oxfords and a structured cream-colored handbag. Accessorize with a geometric necklace and a few woven bracelets to create a cute and casual look that’s perfect for classes or just hanging on campus.

Outfit #2: Brunch with the Girls

For a more daring look, try pairing a punchy red scalloped blouse with a bright pink asymmetrical maxi skirt. Metallic flat sandals keep the outfit casual, while a printed tote bag adds interest. Light blue earrings pick up on the color of the tote, while several bold bangles add some glam. This dressy, yet low-key outfit is a great way to look stylish and on-trend when you’re spending time with your besties.
