Trend of the week: Hot colour alert

Don’t get caught red-handed without one of these beauties!

INSPIRATION

Designers saw red this season as models ruled the runway in shades of tomato, ruby scarlet, cherry and crimson. Uncompromising, upfront and unapologetic, it’s no wonder red is the colour of leadership, danger and passion. Too hot to handle? Temper those hot-headed hues with autumn/winter 14’s star neutral – grey. Rumour has it, he’s got 50 shades!

STYLE NOTES

Make like Valentino, Giambattista Valli and Tom Ford by working the trend head-to-toe.

Too much? Try an accent instead like a red bag, shoe or hat.

Swap out your LBD this season for an LBR. Top tip? Dial down the heat with a long sleeve or hemline and a higher neckline.

Inject some spice into your casual wear with a pair of notice-me red jeans.Pair with this season’s oversized knits for a more relaxed take on the trend.
