A Barbie Style Guide – Styling with Pink Bags
Summer 2023 has been called the ‘hot Barbie summer’ ! As Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie comes to theatres, the Everything-Pink fashion trend is coming back strong. Instead of buying pink clothes and accessories to catch up with the trend, you might only need one classic item to bring your Barbie fantasy to live -- a pink bag! Because pink bags are a great way to add a pop of colour to any outfit. Whether you’re going for a bold, statement look or want to add a touch of femininity to your style, there are a variety of ways to incorporate pink bags into your wardrobe.
The Retro Bag Canada offers various styles of pink bags including our Fanny Packs, Scarlett Shoulder Bags, Donna Beaded Bag and Backpack (in-store only), they are all cruelty-free and stylish and will suit your needs and styles. While shopping for a pink bag from The Retro Bag, here are some tips to help you style them.
- Pair with Neutral Colors
Pink bags look great with neutral colours such as black, white, gray, and beige. This allows the bag to stand out and become the focal point of your outfit. For example, a pink crossbody bag with a black dress would make for a chic and effortless look.
- Go Monochromatic
For a bold and daring look, try going monochromatic with your pink bag. Pair it with a pink top, skirt, or dress for a head-to-toe pink look. Make sure to mix and match different shades of pink to add depth and dimension to your outfit.
- Add to Print
Another way to style pink bags is to pair them with printed clothing. This can include floral, animal, or abstract prints. The key is to choose a print with a hint of pink so that the bag doesn't clash with the outfit. For example, a pink shoulder bag with a floral dress that has pink accents would make for a playful and feminine look.

- Contrast with Bright Colors
For those who love bright colours, try pairing your pink bag with other bold and bright hues. This can include yellow, orange, green, and blue. The key is to make sure that the colours complement each other rather than clash. For example, a pink clutch with a bright green blazer would make for a fun and playful look.
- Keep it Simple
Lastly, you can never go wrong with keeping it simple. Pair your pink bag with a classic white tee and denim jeans for a casual, effortless look. This is a great option for those who want to incorporate a pop of colour without going over the top.
Overall, these are some tips on styling pink bags, they are versatile accessories that add a fun and playful touch to any outfit. Whether you pair it with neutral colours, go monochromatic, pair it with print, contrast with bright colours, or keep it simple, the key is to have fun and experiment with different styles and combinations. Happy styling, Barbies!
