Not Beige, Not Black—the Jacket-Color Trend Everyone Will Be Wearing by October
Shop the Dua Lipa–approved jacket trend that'll upgrade all of your fall outfits.
It's still July, and while we're grateful to be enveloped in warmth, we're also looking forward to fall layers. In fact, fashion people are already teasing fall trends to try. For example, Dua Lipa just stepped out in a fall-friendly outfit utilizing the perfect jacket—with a twist. Her main layer wasn't black or brown, colors often associated with fall and winter. Instead, it was a bold, head-turning hue: bright red.
Dua Lipa wore a pair of baggy jeans tucked into her black Ann Demeulemeester boots and layered a red jacket by Polo Ralph Lauren over a white button-down. She accessorized with a matching red bandana, black sunglasses, and an Hermès Birkin bag. This look is the perfect example of a colorful fall outfit that isn't cheesy. While a black or brown jacket would still look chic and put-together, a pop of red is the eye-catching detail needed to elevate a look even further.
