In the final stretch of fashion month, showgoers made their way to Paris for 10 final days of shows. As always, the runways provided us with ample inspiration when it comes to color. Last season, brands like Prada and Dries Van Noten schooled us in the art of unexpected color combinations and showed us how to embrace neutrals (hello, groutfit!) in a new way. But if the streets of Paris are any indication, red continues to reign. Whether as a pop of color in an all black ensemble or a full head-to-toe look, red was the star among the street style set.
The fashion community’s love affair with red has been going strong for a few years. During his tenure at Ferragamo, Maximillian Davis made red something of signature, and agenda-setting brands like Alaïa and The Row have featured the shade heavily in their shows and campaigns. Some might find the bold shade intimidating, but red outfits are easier to wear than you think. A red shoe or sock is an easy way in! In our red outfits edit below, we’re breaking down some of the best ways to wear the trending hue for spring, as seen on the Paris streets.
Walk the Walk
Here a showgoer uses red tights and pumps to take an otherwise simple overcoat to the next level.
Big Knit Energy
Curl up in big, statement-making red knit and keep the rest of the look simple with dark-wash jeans and a minimalist black bag.
Simplify the Extras
Balance a bold, red pencil skirt with all-black elements—a long-sleeve top, leather boots, and a day clutch.
Cocooned in Red
A head-to-toe red outfit (capped off with a little black hat) is the perfect way to brighten up a rainy day.
Outerwear That Pops
Try a little red trench with a mini dress and girlish accessories, like Mary Jane ballet flats and optional white socks (no blisters here!).
A Kiss of Red!
A neutral ensemble benefits from pops of red, like a sweater casually knotted across the shoulders and a mini crossbody bag worn to the side.
