If girly pinks and basic neutrals are starting to feel a little outdated, it’s time to turn to a more sophisticated and mature alternative. Enter the colour of the day: red. From deep maroons to vibrant cherries, red is notoriously attention-grabbing – and it’s really having a moment right now. Not sure how to incorporate this brazen hue into your wardrobe? Dive into our curated selection of fashion must-haves that will elevate your look and have you painting the town red.
Nailed It
An easy, fuss-free way to enhance your style with the latest trend hue is right at your fingertips: let your nails steal the show with a pop of colour. Whether you’re feeling bold with an edgy maroon or craving a touch of fun with a shiny chianti, there’s a shade to suit every mood. But why stop there? Treat yourself to a little luxury with a chic lacquer bottle that will look fabulous on your nightstand, like this sleek SSONE in a classic red hue.
Lit Knits
A standout ensemble often hinges on the presence of one eye-catching yet versatile piece – and nothing fits the bill quite like a dependable sweater. Amidst the array of choices on the market, consider a well-fitting, scoop-neck design for flexible layering, or a ribbed Merino wool jumper to exude extra class. If you’re all about prioritising comfort, an oversized silhouette provides the perfect blend of style and warmth.
The Right Tights
In this transitional season, we’re not yet ready to relinquish our leg layers – but we are looking to put some pep in our step. Whether you prefer a minimalist approach to your accessories, prefer to embrace whimsical, romantic styles, or seek a touch of playfulness, there’s a pair of statement-making tights waiting to complement your unique style.
Fabulous Footwear
The ultimate game-changer for any outfit? The perfect shoe. Whether it’s trendy sneakers for versatile all-day wear, suave slingbacks (at just the right heel height) guaranteed to spark conversation at your next cocktail party, or velvet Mary Janes that will add oomph to casual jeans-and-tee combos, incorporating a vibrant pop of red into your footwear adds an unmistakable touch of glam.
That’s A Wrap
A versatile gift suitable for (nearly) anyone, and a timeless addition to any wardrobe, a well-made scarf is an essential yet often overlooked accessory. If you’re not savvy with knitting needles, consider getting a practical chequered design from Uniqlo for relaxed everyday style (and warmth!), a solid red wool-blend option from Diesel that exudes the brand’s urban-cool essence, or a luxurious printed silk scarf from Valentino ideal for those moments worth splurging on.
Head-Banging Hues
If you haven’t joined the headband bandwagon yet, now’s the time. A fun (and slightly unconventional) fashion statement, it’s a fantastic means to infuse your style with individuality. Opt for a luxurious red velvet number, explore textured variations, or dare to channel royalty with regal-inspired designs (for the truly trendsetting type) – there’s something for every taste.
Top It Off
Sometimes you just can’t have too many of one thing – of course, we’re talking about tops. Whether it’s cosy fluffy vests for layering, airy blouses ideal for spring, or sexy one-shoulder pieces perfect for a night out on the town, there’s a red garment eagerly awaiting its place among the other (mostly black, let’s be honest) tops in your collection.
Dresses To Impress
The allure of a red dress is undeniable, wouldn’t you agree? With countless options at your disposal, you can tailor your choice to perfectly reflect your personal style. For an air of sophistication with an effortless vibe, opt for a maxi knitted dress, perhaps paired with flat sandals. Need to command attention in the office? This padded sweater dress is your go-to for a cool yet professional look. And as for the ruffled mini? Well, only you know where it belongs.
Getting Lippy
When it comes to adding a pop of red to your look, nothing quite grabs attention like a scene-stealing lip. Whether you’re embracing full-on glam or favour a more understated look, a timeless red lipstick never fails to impress. Plus, it effortlessly embellishes your appearance with minimal fuss (not that anyone needs to know). Reach for a tried-and-true cult classic, an elegant creamy matt or an affordable liquid lipstick – either way, you’ll be sure to stand out.
Eyes On The Prize
For those unafraid to venture into the realm of makeup experimentation (as we all should be, really), a delightful way to embrace the red trend is with eyeliner. Regardless of your preference between in-your-face statements or subtle accents, tracing a crimson line along your lid can yield particularly striking results, especially for those with brown or green eyes, as warm red hues tend to accentuate their natural richness. If compliments are what you seek, this is a step not to overlook this season.
In The Bag
From Sabato de Sarno’s stunning Gucci debut to the bustling streets of NYC’s Soho, red bags have become the ultimate fashion accessory of the season. Surprisingly versatile, the right red handbag can inject sophistication into any ensemble, from smart workwear to glamorous cocktail dresses. For a playful night out with friends, we love this charming heart-shaped clutch. For tackling weekend errands, opt for this practical yet stylish quilted micro bag. And for high-brow events, nothing will beat the elegance of this satin bow crossbody.
Made In The Shades
If you happen to be a sunglasses collector (because there’s always one in every friend group), chances are you already own some red sunnies. However, if you haven’t added any to your collection yet, consider checking out this sleek incense-red pair, ideal for those with a penchant for fashion-forward accessories. Alternatively, elevate your look in a pinch with these round cat eyes, guaranteed to transform any outfit from yawn to chic in an instant.
Lend A Hand
If you find yourself in a chilly location (or simply don’t mind shopping out of season), consider embracing gloves and mittens as a charming and snug way to inject some colour into your outfits. Whether you’re drawn to one-of-a-kind pieces that set you apart from the crowd, prefer the timeless allure of a classic fit, or aim to make a bold statement with your fashion selections, rest assured, there’s a perfect pair out there waiting for you.
Bold Bottoms
The quintessential statement piece that every wardrobe deserves? A pair of red trousers that fit like a glove. Whether it’s the vibrant hue that effortlessly commands attention or the undeniable confidence they exude, red bottoms are a must-have for any fashion enthusiast. From comfortable flared trousers that take your office attire to the next level, to wide-leg linen pants that make an impression at the beach club, there’s a pair of red pants ready to add a pop of colour to your ensemble.
The Crowning Glory
Pendants, earrings, studs, chains, bracelets… jewellery is the foundation of accessorising. With an abundance of remarkable options available, your choice in jewellery is entirely dictated by your personal tastes. Here are a couple of options you might fancy: perhaps a trendy coil ring from a brand your little sister follows on Instagram, these striking carnelian earrings that even your mother will covet, or a charming flower tie necklace perfect for that social media post you’ve been dreaming of.
