Mother of all Colours? It's National Pink Day!

Observed annually on June 23^rd as a shrine to the hue that triumphs all, it’s the one day set aside for the colour pink and all it represents. As we all know, growing up this colour is favored by majority of the female population. So much so that this colour in itself symbolises femininity. According to surveys in the US and Europe alike pink combined with white or pale blue is most commonly related to femininity. The day can be celebrated by wearing the colour, eating pink coloured foods, donating to pink ribbon charities and of course using #NationalPinkDay.

Dating back to the 14th Century, 'pink' means to decorate with a perforated or punched fashion. In the Rocco period (1720-1777) the shade was enjoying its golden age and pastel colors became fashionable in courts. The mistress of King Louis XV of France, Madame de Pompadour, was celebrated for wearing pink, she even had a particular tint of the colour specifically designed for her.



Furthermore, pink ribbons or decorations were also worn by young boys in the 19^th century, overlooking gender bias.



The colour evolved through the 20^th century as a bolder and brighter color, in 1931 shocking pink was introduced. Throughout history this color has redefined fashion and certain perceptions as well; can we even imagine a world without pink?

There’s always a classy way to incorporate anything pink into your style , even if you’re not fond of pink if done right you can probably achieve a suitable OOTD.
