Red is one of those colours that you either love or hate. It is a bold colour, and it takes a bold person to wear it. A trend for red jeans has been running over the summer with Rachel Stevens, Miley Cyrus, Rachel Bilson, Katie Holmes and Rihanna all seen working the crimson leg look. White tees were the favourite pairing for daytime looks and glitzy tops and leather jackets for evenings out. Red jeans are a sure fire way to attract attention to your pins, so only jump on this trend if you love your legs.
Red doesn’t have to be just for jeans though, it is a great colour to take you through to autumn/winter. Red is a powerful colour, so you can wear it when you want to feel more confident or want a boost to your self esteem. Next season, fashion has prised itself away from the safety of black and red is a great pick-me-up colour to brighten up dull days.
Red found its way onto the catwalk for Alberta Ferretti, Gucci and Jil Sander. Colour blocking is all the rage for A/W ’11, so you might want to pick up this red wool duffle coat from Topshop. It has a very handy detachable hood for rainy days, and comes in at under £100. This silk blouse from Warehouse is a real eye catcher, but with its orangey red tone it is more subtle than bright red. It can be worn with jeans for day or smartened up for a modern work look and is priced at £50.
Red is of course a great Christmas colour, and this Aqua maxi dress with cut-out detail could be worn now and brought out again for Christmas parties. If however, you don’t fancy an all over red look, then accessories and shoes in red can glam up any outfit. These Beyond Skin satin red pumps are beautiful and will look amazing for nights out from now right through winter. They cost £72, and are vegan, as an added bonus!
