The fashion world went wild for hot pink last year, and with the release of the Barbie movie on Friday 21 July, it's back in a big way. If you love wearing hot pink as much as we do, you're in luck as it's all over the high street.
How to style hot pink dresses
The mood-boosting shade flatters every skin tone and is particularly suited to the summer months when we can wear it in the form of statement mini dresses, cut-out figure-hugging styles or floaty midi dresses in lightweight fabrics. A stand out piece on its own, a hot pink dress is surprisingly versatile and easy to accessorise. For parties and formal occasions they can look chic with minimal, barely-there pieces or go all out with bright colour-clashing bags and shoes. If you're going for off-duty dressing, a hot pink mini can be paired with chunky sandals or style a maxi with luxe leather slides.
