10 Ways to Wear Red in 2026

Hi Everyone,

This year is certainly a year where many of us will be saying “I see red” as there will be plenty of red to be seen in the high street shops as well as on the streets.

Unlike previous years though, 2026 is not about a mere red accent or accessary. 2026 is all about going full red. This is the year to be seen!

Monochrome red outfits are a hot topic, as are bold red jackets and even cardigans. A simple red dress might just be replacing the LBT this year – well only just – smile! In any case you can’t go wrong by adding one to your wardrobe. I am currently on the lookout for one and hoping my next trip to Milan will prove to be fruitful in this area.

Further down you’ll see how black and red seem to be changing places this year. Whilst in the past one had red accessories when wearing black, 2026 is about wearing red and having black accessories.

All outfits in todays post were spotted on the streets at Milan and Paris Fashion weeks last September/October.
