Sea Pink is millennial pink all grown up: sun-faded, slightly jaded, and all the cooler for it.
Pink is one of those colours that never quite sits still. Sometimes it’s playful, sometimes poetic — depending on the eye (and mood) of the beholder. It can feel delicate, bold, sweet, or a little bit stubborn. That’s part of the magic.
This week’s take on the hue drifts somewhere softer. It’s not the shiny, statement Barbie pink we’ve seen everywhere lately. It’s gentler — the colour of sun-faded buildings in Cairo, of blush that’s been in your makeup bag a little too long, of ballet shoes that have danced past their prime.
It’s the pink of fake gem earrings you once adored, of red leather worn down to something warmer, dreamier. A little nostalgic, a little grown-up, still holding onto its charm.
This Monochrome Monday, Sea Pink gets her moment.
Moroccan Touch︱Fadia Kaftan
Billowing in form but balanced by sharp vertical stripes, this kaftan pairs its sea pink hue with crisp white, layered in an intricate floral pattern for added depth.
Mallakä︱The Pink Panther Jacket
Crafted from 100% cowhide leather in a standout shade of pink, this jacket elevates the boldness of its colour with an oversized, boxy silhouette that delivers edge with comfort.
Maison Yeya | Act 13
A plunging V-neckline gives way to ripples of layered pink satin; frothy, fluid, and tidal. Gathering at the chest, the fabric then cascades down the skirt in soft, undulating folds. This is the dress for your Cinderella moment: think castle cloisters and dramatic exits.
Kayali︱Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar
With notes of glazed candied pear and bubble gum, this fragrance enhances the playfulness of the classic vanilla scent. An added accord of tonka bean, sandalwood, and patchouli round out this fruity fragrance, giving it a maturity akin to sea pink.
Rebel Cairo︱Tawila Kaftan Dress
Vertical stripes of sea pink and brown endow an earthiness to this kaftan from Rebel Cairo with patterned bell sleeves completing the flowing silhouette. This is the ultimate compliment to any outdoor event in the spring sun.
Joanna Dahdah︱Lila Ring Pink Enamel
Add a playful pop of pink to your jewellery collection with this enamel ring from Joanna Dahdah.
Lurline︱Checkboard Chainmail Cami Top
Channel your inner medieval chess master with this checkerboard chainmail cami from Lurline. This is a piece that can hold its own, or be layered with other folds of pink for a statement monochrome look.
Naked Wolfe︱Bluebell Rafia Flowers
Embellished with the Naked Wolfe logo in pearl and a weaved platform heel, these shoes are a colourful exploration of material, and a true embodiment of pink. Playful, cutesy perhaps, and unabashedly statement, it’s mandatory to pair these with a similarly bold pink outfit.
Maison Pacinthe Badran︱La Meduse SS24
A chiffon bodice acts like a corset dissected in this gown from Maison Pacinthe Badran. Exposed stays move into a fitted skirt which splits at the thigh for an added drama.
