Cherry red has been named the colour of this year’s Autumn/Winter season. Perhaps an emboldened transition from the usual, seasonal marron, this bright and rich colour is as eye catching as it is chic. Not to mention, easier to style than it first appears. We’ve put together a guide to show you just how simple styling cherry red can be with the existing pieces in your wardrobe. Read our top tips from the team below:

1. Break it up with neutrals

Whilst minimalists and the introverts might feel sceptical about this statement colour, there are ways to make this a wearable and versatile addition to your wardrobe. Breaking up the bright red with neutrals is a great way to tone down an outfit but keep some personality and keep things a little more visually palatable.

2. Style it casually

Pairing a bright red sweatshirt with your favourite denim jeans and white trainers can be a perfect way to incorporate the colour into your collection. Styling casually gives an effortless, model-off-duty feel with a quiet confidence. Pair with cargo denim for the ultimate cool-girl look. See our Anine Bing Jaci Sweatshirt for a laid-back, collegiate inspired piece.

3. Reinventing classic styles

A subtle way to incorporate a new trend seamlessly into your wardrobe is to blend it with timeless pieces. The tweed jacket has been a staple since Chanel’s first designs throughout the 1920’s. Reimagining the infamous tweed jacket in a very current cherry red is a genius way of dipping your toe into the trend without leaving your comfort zone. See our Anine Bing Lydia Jacket for a stylish jacket option.

4. Add red-hot accessories

If you don’t feel completely comfortable throwing a bright red into your clothing, add splashes of the colour through your accessories. Pops of red in beanies or other hair accessories when paired with a neutral outfit keep things playful, without the somewhat daunting feeling of a full red commitment. Take a look at our red accessories from Ganni and put them straight on your wish-list!
