They Balance Each Other Out
Worried you'll look like a walking Valentine's Day card? Fear not! Bold red actually helps to tone down any unwanted Barbie vibes, while sweet pink balances red's inherent sexy factor.
Get the look: Proenza Schouler jacket ($250); Free People top and skirt ($148 for set)

Mix And Match Pieces You Already Own
Layer a red blouse under a pink dress or a pink sweater over a pair of red pants to create your own version of the trend. The bolder the pattern (like wide stripes or an oversize floral print) the better.

A Small Pop Will Do
Even if you just add a small hint of one hue and let the other steal the spotlight, this pairing looks über chic and endearingly happy. Now if only the weather would get on board and bring us some sun to compliment these fabulous outfits.
Get the look: Kohl's jacket ($250); P.E. Nation top ($179); Juicy Couture skirt ($148); Furla bag ($328)
