Nevermind only wearing “pink on Wednesdays.” This month, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month we’re opting to wear pink all month long. Each October, multitudes of cancer survivors and awareness supporters paint their communities pink by not only wearing the hue but by sharing life-changing knowledge about the disease. While you’re partaking in this initiative, whether it is a fund-raising marathon to further scientific research and treatments or volunteering to assist breast cancer screening units, wear pink. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women and according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, one in eight women will be diagnosed with the disease. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, here are some pieces to shop to help add a touch of pink to your wardrobe.

Also, in celebration of #NationalLagomDay, Ellos has the perfect sweater that'll have you looking pretty in pink while you volunteer with organizations that host breast cancer screenings. That's a true practice of living a "lagom" lifestyle: stylish and philanthropic.

Westbrook Limited Edition is making sure you remain stylish as you learn more about the cause in their Pink Rose Leggings. Most importantly, 100% of the proceeds from Westbrook Limited Editions' Pink Rose Collection will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The perfect pair of shades take any ESSENCE Fest look to the next level.
