We’ve been keeping an eye out, and we can confidently tell you that red is the most important colour for fashion this fall. The runway was brushed in shades of red and we are all for it! Bold and dangerous, it’s historically linked to caution and sin, thus, not a frequent presence on the fashion scene. But with designer collections like Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli backing it up, the colour is being revived. In different shades of red, the range was demure and an honest rendition of the colour.
In all honesty, we wish more women would dare to wear red on a day-to-day basis. Fortunately, there are many ways to incorporate red into your look and we have curated a list to get you started!
1. Subtle Prints
Wish to go sombre with your red escapades? Opt for delicate red prints on a bold base – they can be paired with basics if you want to avoid looking OTT. Invest in pencil skirts and printed shifts to add the elusive red in your wardrobe!
