If you've been a fan of R29's for years, you'll know we have a soft spot in our hearts for J.Crew. Its new arrivals always seem to address exactly what our wardrobes are missing; its accessories aren't just cool, they're practical, too; its fearless leader, Jenna Lyons, is our style guru; and its styling, in its campaigns, on-site, and at New York Fashion Week, is always on point.
The one thing we weren't so sure J.Crew could convince us of, however, was to wear pink — 226 different specially developed shades of pink, to be exact. Pink is one of those fashion things that people just can't make their minds up about: Some love it, some hate it, some refuse to wear it, while others embrace it fully. But when we saw the wide spectrum of pinks, from flamingo to rose to fuchsia, J.Crew has created, paired with pieces we always wear (button-ups, leopard accessories), it all kind of made sense — nay, it had us fully convinced. Click through to see why.

Forget what you heard: Cropped trousers pair well with ankle-strap shoes, especially when they're in the same color family.

If you're not into super-loud patterns, try subtly integrating them into your wardrobe through accessories, like this leopard belt.

Statement earrings may be small, but they have some major power (just look how these hoops change the entire feel of this button-up-pencil-skirt pairing).

Bright pink may not be the first hue you'd consider when buying a two-piece suit, but with the right under-layer and accessories, this outfit feels way more cool than corporate.
