We conclude our week-long celebration of color with an ode to pink, featuring this season’s most covetable rosy pieces. Without a doubt, pink can be a polarizing hue—but thanks to some edgy, updated designs by the likes of nearly everyone from Altuzarra to Zuhair Murad, Elle Woods’s favorite color is well on its way to acquiring a brand new fan base of former naysayers. From furs to moto jackets, here are 15 must-have pink items to fill your wardrobe with this fall.
