Trending red: Five ways to subtly bring the colour of the season into your wardrobe

Sophie Collins

Bright red seems to be dominating as the colour of the autumn/winter season.

We’re seeing it everywhere, from shoes, to trousers, tops and jackets being donned by our favourite models and fashion influencers.

For many people, this bold colour is hard to transition into your wardrobe – and not many people feel it suits their personal style.

There are so many subtle ways to introduce it into your existing wardrobe without having to fork out on a bold statement piece that won’t be worn post-trend.

Opting for highlighted accents is an easy way to pick out new pieces that will last.

So if you’re not the type of person – like myself – who wants to don an electric red statement piece, here’s how you can filter it in effortlessly.

Accents

You don’t have to splurge out on something you’re only going to wear until the next trend lands. 

So picking something with minor details of red is the perfect way to add this hue into your everyday outfits.

Here are some lovely examples:

Vera Moda, short sleeve top with contrast tipping in white and red. Now €13.50. Was €21.99. (-38%)

Red

Boden Holly Cropped Knitted Jacket, €154

New Look, Red Abstract Print Frill Neck Blouse, €15

Caps

We love a good cap – it goes with any daytime outfit, and takes it down a notch if you’re looking for a more causal feel.

Keeping with the red trend, there are so many options and they won’t cost you a fortune.

Here are some of our favourites:

GANNI, Logo-embroidered organic-cotton baseball cap, €85

New York Yankees Raised Basic Mvp Red/White Adjustable, €21

Scarves

It’s the time of year for wrapping up and there is nothing better than having a cosy scarf to throw around you on those dark morning commutes.

Whether you want to go all out with this trend or opt for something more subtle, here are some options.

Anna Field, Red Scarf, €15

Accessorize Red Oversized Crown Print Scarf, €31

Sambas

Adidas Sambas are quite literally everywhere. Every second image on social media is someone raving about getting their hands on a pair.

While the brand do have a bright red style, they also have some more subtle options that will last far beyond this current fashion moment.

There is an all-white pair, with just the famous three stripes showcasing a bold red:

adidas Originals, Samba OG, €120

Nails

And finally… this is an easy one – classic red nails will always be in style.

Opt for an electric red, and you’ll have the colour of the season with every outfit for at least two weeks.
