According to Vogue, red is the color of the season, both on and off the runways. In contrast, red is one of the more controversial colors due to its bold nature. So, what’s the best way to style it?
Not every day is the Fourth of July so try to avoid pairing red and blue unless you want to come off as patriotic. And, it’s fall- not Christmas- so try to stay away from pairing red with green.
Personally, we believe that it’s best to wear red with neutral tones or go for a muted red if you’re looking more casual. The moral of the story, muted reds are much easier to style than bold reds. If you don’t think you can pull off the color red but still want to participate in this trend, we recommend trying a muted red or a berry red.
We could also talk about the fact that red is unusual to be considered the color of fall. When we think of fall, we think of a lighter red, but the shade that’s in style right now is more vibrant. Also, neutrals have taken the throne for these past couple of falls, but as we’ve seen through the sad beige child, neutrals are kind of sad. This year’s past trends seemed to have been somewhat over-the-top so it makes sense that this color is making a statement.
Red can be the perfect way to spice up a simple outfit. Adding a red shoulder bag, red silk scarf, or even a cute red hat to a neutral outfit will make the perfect statement and create an interesting outfit. You can always add a red accent on top of gold jewelry as well.
In conclusion, we think red is the perfect color for fall regardless of whether you want to create a statement or blend in more. Obviously red was chosen because of how versatile it is, which we enjoy. All in all, we agree that red is the color of this year’s autumn.
