The Color Your Wardrobe Needs This Summer 1

GoRunway,

Red is a color whose presence you can't hide, even if you try. It suits days when you want to revel in attention more than days when you want to blend in. As the quintessential accent color, it's also the easiest way to inject life into a neutral outfit. It's a styling choice that fashion-savvy celebrities like Jennie and Hailey Bieber regularly favor.

Now it's time to look at red in a completely different way: use it as a wardrobe staple and basic color like black or white. The recent runways are clear proof—you can see how it surprisingly harmonizes with every color and even acts as a neutral.

Rising stars Zankov and Lii, currently the most talked-about new labels, showcased bold color combinations by layering a vivid red shirt with baby-blue and butter-yellow tops. Then there are Celine and Christopher John Rogers, who achieved a calmer, more grounded mood by pairing red tops with brown trousers.

Celebrities' choices are no different. Josh O'Connor paired a cherry-hued jacket with green track pants, Zoey Deutch matched striking red trousers with a purple cardigan, and Emma Corrin styled a red knit with muted tones to tastefully highlight red's appeal. Is there really any color that doesn't go with red? Fashion right now seems to answer: no.
