Millennial pink is hot right now and we don't just want to wear it because Cady Heron wore it — although that's as good a reason as any IMO! If you're tickled pink by this delightful hue, check out these adorable millennial pink clothes and accessories, because it's the perfect way to give your wardrobe a little lift.
Although it appears people can't agree on the actual color of millennial pink and there seem to be a few shades that fit under the umbrella of millennial pink, one thing's for certain: It's gorgeous. It may look like a faded Barbie pink, but there's also a hint of Hole era Courtney Love in there too.
There's something nostalgic about it that brings to mind My Little Pony, strawberry milkshakes, and pink marshmallows of a sweet-toothed, '90s childhood. But, millennial pink has a contemporary vibe and a realness about it too. It's a hue that has a "look but don't touch" aura about it; it's so deliciously inviting yet you know this shade ain't playing and it means business underneath its familiar, candy colored exterior. Millennial pink is the embodiment of the bright future we were promised as children, that didn't quite turn out how we hoped — but it's real, it's unashamedly imperfect, and it's ours.
So here are some adorable millennial pink items to make your closet cuter and inject equal amounts of nostalgia and straight up coolness to your aesthetic.
