THE STATEMENT PIECE
Shades of crimson, cherry and scarlet brightened up the streets at Paris Fashion Week, and while it’s fair to say the bold hue makes a statement, it’s also surprisingly easy to wear if you track down one that complements your skin tone – so it’s key to try on before committing.
Global fashion search platform Lyst has seen “red coats” become the fastest growing outerwear search term in the past month, and predict they’ll be as popular as their pink counterparts were last year, so you had best be speedy if you’re in the market for one.
Wary of wearing such a bright hue? Try burgundy, which is just as versatile and won’t leave you with as many dry cleaning bills. Both shades will look fabulous with grey, camel and navy.
