Did you watch the so-called $150,000,000 commercial? The Barbie boom is sweeping the planet, bringin the fashion for pink back. Pink is worn by girls of all ages. It is even worn by men and children. However, girls have always loved it... I, Anna Romanko, a Ukrainian fashion stylist and I will tell you how to wear marshmallow-rose in everyday life and look astonishing.

The Barbie phenomenon can be recognized as the impact and popularity of the Barbie doll on culture, fashion and society. Barbie is a style icon who first appeared in 1959 and became a true legend in the world of toys and fashion. Her fashionable outfits and accessories inspire people to this day.

One of the reflections of this phenomenon can be the use of pink in everyday life. Pink is a traditional Barbie color, which symbolizes tenderness, femininity and grace. It can add freshness and romance to your image, but everything depends on how you combine it with other colors and styles.

Why Barbie has become so popular.

Barbie is not just a garment, it is a way of life.

For example, you can find Barbie dishes in many restaurants, as retail centers are developing pink locations with the rise of popularity of the pink color. In my opinion, the fashion for pink will be popular for several months. Barbie has one the strongest feminine desires, which is to be graceful, to allow herself to be a child and to bring the beloved doll back.

How to make it all fit with pink color?

1. Take into account that the role is not only color, but also the style of clothes, color, combination and accessories. Pink does not have age restrictions, but if you do not combine it properly, you can look infantile.

What is better to ignore for middle-aged and older women?

Cheap plastic jewelry, open clothes and neon.

2. Do you know that the so-called marshmallow colors include other colors? It includes Tiffany, and a subtle tint of blue, purple and even yellow. This is our chance to create a cool, non-trivial look.

3. The combination of colors can do a lot.

Your image will be appropriate and suitable for everyday life if you combine pink with some pastel colors.

Going to work in all pink is obviously ridiculous. You can use accent pink accesories instead.

4. Don't forget about doll style!

Barbie cloths are feminine. You can wear mini lush skirts with ruffles or other decor. If you think that this is a "childish" variant, then I will remind you that Jacqueline Kennedy wore pink on the official events quite often. And they were wonderful!

By the way, the Queen of Great Britain Elizabeth 2 wore this color as well...

Movie stars wore it extremelly often.

If you want to wear pink without Barbie references, I recommend you to use a simple cut and more expensive materials. Something classic. A silk dress will do.

Carefully choose the length and fit according to your body shape. If you need to adjust something, accessories will help. Remember that the Barbie-trend allows for extravagant makeup for those who don't want to wear pink, but want to be in Barbieland as well.

I will add that fashion is an individual right, so choose the looks that suit your style and mood. Wear the color that completes your personality and expresses your prefences!
