The 2026 pre-fall collections may not hit the stores until next summer but inspiration is free and evergreen! This season Jonathan Anderson taught us how to partake in the ribbon trend without looking “ballet-core,” while Matthieu Blazy showed us that not only is leopard print indeed a neutral, it’s also made for all occasions.

If you find yourself far too exhausted to put in the effort to dress up, brands like R13 and Sea are giving you permission to keep your pajamas on. An even easier solution? Just pop on a red dress or sweater (everyone’s bound to have one) and call it a day.

A Pop of Red

It doesn’t get any easier than tossing on an instant dose of festive red.
