I’m A Fashion Editor and Red is the Colour I’m Going To Be Adding To My Wardrobe This Summer

As much as I am a minimalist and often favour neutral tones, I’m always trying to look for ways to bring colour into my summer wardrobe. I tend to stick to blacks, creams and browns, however, when May rolls around, I just feel like I want something a bit brighter, which absolutely puts me out of my usual comfort zone.

To make adding colour into my wardrobe as stress-free as possible this year, I turned to the runways, and my research told me that during the SS25 runway shows, we saw one bright colour take over: red. Seen in the collections of Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton and Ferragamo, to name a few, it’s clear that red dominated the season’s palette as a natural extension of the burgundy colour trend we saw rule over winter. Now, however, designers are taking a step towards its brighter-hued cousin and opting for a spectrum of tomato tones as part of their SS25 collections, whether that’s through accessories like shoes and bags or with full-on rouge looks.
