ColorTory: Red alert!
Transition into the new fashion season with the trend for energizing reds
Last season fiery reds lit up the catwalks. Ruby, scarlet, crimson, and maroon were layered up in top-to-toe tonal looks. Red is still a hot trend for your Spring wardrobe, with bright paint box colours competing with pastels for Spring/Summer 18. Bold colours suit strong ‘80s silhouettes too, to really update your new season style.
Red is life-affirming. It’s attention-grabbing, aggressive, passionate, seductive.
It’s playful, yet sophisticated. We understand red instinctively – a red alert, after all, is a warning of danger. But red’s intensity is also warm. After all, it’s the colour of romance.
Wearing red is said to make us feel powerful, strong, energized and confident. Head-to-toe red is for the truly bold. A fierce red leather biker jacket or patent leather mac will ensure you stand out from the crowd. Or try out the trend with a handbag in luxurious red leather, or layer a bright knit with neutral outerwear. Clashing red with pink is a favourite with fashionistas.
For an easier, elegant option, combine red and white in a classic striped Breton tee, or crisp tailored separates. Take charge and add a splash of red to your Spring wardrobe with Fashtory.
