THE GAME CHANGER:
A showstopper dress
While the awe-inspiring powers of a knockout red dress have never been in dispute, our favorite designers have taken things up a notch for Cruise ’18 with directional cuts and bold silhouettes. From Rejina Pyo’s flamenco-style ruffles to Johanna Ortiz’s one-sleeved wonder, there’s never been a better time to be a scarlet woman.
THE STYLING TRICK:
Red all over
The tonal dressing trend is gathering pace. While it used to be reserved for neutrals, this season’s most stylish stars have taken it to the next level by going head to toe in bold, bright red. The key to nailing this look is to play with proportions and textures. Follow in the perennially chic footsteps of Giovanna Battaglia Englebert (far right) by contrasting a silk blouse with a leather skirt. Side note: wearing it tucked in creates a strong silhouette.
THE QUEUE JUMP:
Cult crimson accessories
A flash of color is a sure-fire way to reinvigorate your more basic pieces, and this season there are some particularly lust-worthy accessories that will do just that. From Gucci’s vintage-inspired Ophidia bag to Loewe’s sumptuous, slouchy Hobo bag and Proenza Schouler’s graphic kitten heels, these are red-hot now and forever.
