Take pretty in pink to the next level! It just doesn't get any more feminine when it comes to color choice than pink. But, with such a traditional history, it can be difficult to do pink shirts in a new way. Not to worry! We've looked into some of the coolest new ways and directions designers are taking this girl-y girl's color. Just because you love this sweet color choice doesn't mean you have to do it in last season's styles! So, before you purchase your next pink shirt, check out these hot trends--talk about an old dog learning new tricks!
So, the first trick up one of our favorite designer's hottest sleeves takes this cute-sy color, and takes it to ultra feminine. Hey--if you're going to go girl-y, why not go all the way? Malene Birger's 'Mullens Pink Ruffle Top' is sassy, sexy, and oh-so-well-done. This sleeveless sheer top boasts a high neckline (complete with ruffles that match the lining of the sleeves), a vertical stripe pattern that lines the chest, ending an a ruffle just above the bust line, and delicate black buttons that add a bit of a Parisian flair. Couple this seriously cute top with black skinny pants and flats, and you'll be all set. Or, if you're on a date & feeling daring, sport it without a neutral tank top and you'll be ready to rock and roll. We love its 60% viscose, 40% cotton combination, as it keeps things soft and feminine, while also letting you move with some serious comfort. If you're looking for the prettiest pink shirt around, Malene Birger has definitely done it right with this lovely top.

Plus, by choosing this sweet silk top, you can easily transition from day tonight. So, whether you've got a first date after work, or you're just looking to spice up your workweek attire, Banana will definitely do you right in this bright and cheerful bubblegum pink top!
Now that we've covered the lightest and the brightest, cutest and daywear top, it's time to take our hats off to the sexiest pink top around. BCBGMAXAZRIA's 'Ruffle Cami Top' is seriously sassy without giving too much away, or trying too hard. This pink tank top definitely takes things to the next level. This beautiful top boasts a seriously soft, two-tiered ruffle look that wonderfully walks between simplicity and sweet accents. Its ultra thin spaghetti straps and low-cut square neckline make for a seriously pretty look that works wonders with bootcut jeans and black pointed heels. Take on the town in this subtle, yet sweet top. Landing roughly twenty-six-inches from the hem, this 100% rayon shirt falls a little long, and would also look lovely with black leggings, if you so dare. For the hottest pick in eveningwear, BCBG will not let you down.
