Hot Pink + Red = Chic Perfection: Here’s How to Style It High & Low

I’ve always adored the color combination of hot pink and red. Yes, it’s a bit over-the-top and not for the timid. Each color on its own makes a statement, but together they mesmerize me. This AZ FACTORY + Lutz Huelle bright red satin set with a hot pink collar, cuffs and side stripes is the perfect example of how these two bold colors can work together. I’d love to wear this striking set for a Valentine’s Day dinner—and again for weddings or cocktail parties. The sporty-chic vibe and comfortable styling make it ideal for women over 50. I want it! So, I’ve put together a dream hot pink and red outfit with designer accessories. But since this look isn’t exactly budget-friendly, I also found a similar, more practical option at a fraction of the cost.

The high-end outfit is on the left, and the more affordable look-alike is on the right. Here’s how to style a pink and red outfit, whether you’re splurging or saving.

The Matching Set

Start with this incredible AZ FACTORY + Lutz Huelle appliquéd two-tone satin-jersey shirt, $417, paired with the wide-leg striped satin pajama pants, $369. The loose fit is chic, comfortable,and versatile enough for a variety of figure types.

However, you can achieve a similar look with this Mango set (minus the color blocking) in machine-washable polyester fabric. In fact, I’d probably wear this Mango version more, since it’s versatile and can transition across seasons. It works for an evening look, a casual day outfit, or even as a beach coverup. Mango’s textured flowy blouse is $39.99, and the flowy trousers are $49.99. (Note: These Mango pieces also come in black, in case hot pink isn’t your thing!) I might even go for both colors.

The Hot Pink Clutch

A shiny hot pink evening bag, like this L’alingi Malika Jewel Handle Clutch ($855), adds the perfect contrast to the red. This gorgeous satin handbag is like a work of art you’ll cherish forever. But if you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, this equally eye-popping Rebecca Minkoff Wallet Clutch in sparkly hot pink faux leather is a steal at $88.

The Hot Pink Shoes

For a special evening, I’d go all-out with these Stuart Weitzman Glam 3.9″ Crystal Embellished Satin Pumps ($279.99) in hot pink. But if you prefer something a little less blingy—and a lot more affordable—check out these suede Chinese Laundry Rya Pointed Toe Pumps for $69.95.

Diamond Hoop Earrings

When it comes to jewelry, I think it’s best to keep it simple with a pair of hoop earrings—but they need to have diamonds! You might love these Julianna B. 7ct. t.w. Lab-Grown Diamond Hoop Earrings (14k) for $7,065. (I mean, who wouldn’t?) But for most of us, that price is out of reach. A great alternative would be the Swarovski Matrix Tennis Hoop Earrings for $179. They have that Swarovsk sparkle and they’re slightly bigger too!
