Styling a pop of red in a neutral outfit of blacks, whites and blue denim is hardly a new trick, but as it is with the delightfully cyclical nature of fashion, crimson details are having a major moment thanks to endorsement from fashionable celebs and the TikTok style sphere. In case you haven’t heard, red is hot—and the key to making it work, as the trend name suggests, is that you need only a dash of bright vermilion to achieve the look.
The allure of red is not only its sensual, sexy and vibrant suggestion, but its ability to make an everyday outfit immediately chic. A confident colour that never fails to look put together and intentional, red is one of those palettes that never goes out of style.
Of course, a top-to-toe crimson outfit is a look unto itself, but the pop of red trend makes incorporating this striking colour into all your seasonal wardrobes that much easier—all it takes is a pair of red shoes here, or a smear of red lipstick there, to add enough dimension and colour to create a visually arresting look. It’s simply about knowing when and where to add it in.
Ahead, Vogue shows you how to style the trend in six different ways. From an evening look to an everyday errands combo, a wintery off-duty ensemble and a summery day-time outfit, here’s every stylish way to style a well-placed splash of the season’s hottest colour.
