In the spring-summer season 2024, one hue has dominated the fashion landscape: red. Show after show, brand after brand, model after model strutted down the runway adorned in shades of cherry red and deep red, introducing this bold colour to audiences worldwide. From Jacquemus’ over-the-shoulder knits to Alexander McQueen’s Couture and Hermes’ lace-detailed summery dresses, red reigned supreme as the colour of the season.
Amidst a palette that also included liquid gold, lilac, sky blue, and white, red stood out prominently in monochrome ensembles. Red carries with it a plethora of contradictory associations unlike any other colour—it symbolizes love yet also evokes anger, it signifies dominance yet hints at danger. It elicits the strongest of emotions.
Valentino deftly manoeuvred this colour trend with a leather trench coat adorned with gold baubles, as modelled by Dua Lipa at the Pre-Grammy Gala, styled elegantly with red wide-leg trousers.
Polo Ralph Lauren also embraced the red monochrome trend, pairing a classic red cable-knit crewneck jumper with a red pleated skirt and accessorising with a red Polo Id Small Leather Shoulder Bag.
Usually a hard-to-style colour, designers have provided audiences with ample inspiration to include red in their everyday wardrobe. Here are our top 5 looks:
