Hot Pink Is Summer’s Hottest Hue

Remember that scene in The Devil Wears Prada where Miranda Priestly explains why Andy Sachs’ sweater is a particular shade of blue? It all came down to the fact that Oscar de la Renta presented a collection of cerulean blue gowns in 2002. Followed by Yves Saint Laurent introducing cerulean military jackets into its lineup. Cut to 2022 and we’re experiencing a similar situation with Valentino. The fashion house recently unveiled a mainly hot pink Fall 2022 offering. Whether you’re a fan of the brand’s retina-burning creations or not, the color has already trickled down to the masses.

Hot pink is literally everywhere. The striking shade has already found its way to fast-fashion labels. Maybe because people are looking to stand out right now after years of staying at home.

Hot pink doesn’t come in strictly one shade. Frequently labeled as fuchsia, neon or bright pink, there are several variations. Some could almost pass for purple. Which means your wardrobe won’t feel too one-note, even if you buy everything on our must-buy list.

Speaking of that list, we’ve filled it with dresses, jumpsuits, tops, pants and skirts. Not to mention a pair of shoes and a cool bag. Feel free to rock more than one bright pink piece at once. Making tonal dressing the way to go.
