The shopping landscape may be awash with Barbiecore pink and quiet luxury’s 50 shades of beige, but it is fall’s most dominant color trend that has our utmost attention now. Bold fiery red hues were spotted on practically every runway show in the F/W 23 collections, from chic red dresses at Tory Burch and Fendi to unmissable suits at Ferragamo. Touches of red rosettes were spotted at Sandy Liang, and there were vibrant red accessories galore at Victoria Beckham, Valentino, and Prada, proving that this traffic-stopping color is set to be the shade of the upcoming season. 

Whether you opt for a coat, blazer, dress, skirt, or simple sweater around your shoulders, red is the ultimate shade to command attention in. The passionate color is surprisingly easy to style—even for more casual everyday wear—pairing well with neutrals such as beige and gray.

If you want to give your fall and winter wardrobe a jolt of adrenaline, get inspired by the runway and fashion-girl looks below, then shop our favorite red pieces on the market that will undoubtedly have everyone screaming, "Wow, great outfit!”
