How to wear
Total red, one accent piece or a catchy accessory that will instantly change the look? Any of the voiced options has the right to exist this season. Designers — from Maximilian Davis of Ferragamo to Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski of Hermès — vote for red (and the brighter the shade, the better) from head to toe. And we strongly encourage this initiative, as well as the idea that red looks good not only with snow-white and black, but also, for example, with another must-color of the season. We are talking, of course, about gray (and its 50 shades too), which will make a worthy pair with cranberry and/or scarlet. Here we also have deep blue, bottle green, camel and even dusty pink. The correct dosage of the latter was spied in the second ready-to-wear collection of Louise Trotter for Carven.
Where to look
Red as the main thing
Start adding red to your wardrobe gradually (just in case you haven’t already), moving from one item (like a cashmere cardigan, a knitted vest, or a wool-blend midi skirt) to total red. Don’t be afraid to mix several shades in one look, as the Givenchy team did in the fall-winter 2024 collection (by the way, while this article was being written, the brand announced the name of its new creative director, Sarah Burton, who worked at McQueen for 23 years).
Red as that very detail that decides everything
For those who are not yet ready for a loud (and bright) statement (although it's time), we made a selection of shoes, bags and accessories – big and not so big. Current patent leather ballet flats, ubiquitous oxfords, scarves, kerchiefs and even glasses.
