Something for the weekend: Pink

Tonight the clocks go forward. The green fingered might welcome British Summer Time by planting some shrubbery, while the sartorially minded should see this as the ideal moment to shift wardrobe gear. Pink – from raspberry sorbet to sugar candy to hot fuchsia – is brilliantly upbeat. As a shade it gets bad press for its perkiness, but since it also makes a great double act when paired with black or neutral, it's worth putting your prejudices aside.
