The best red outfits to inspire you this Valentine’s day
Ahh, red. Is it too cliche to wear the colour associated with love, passion and power on Valentine’s Day? Never. Especially when it’s the hue that the fashion set is being spotted in everywhere right now.
This week alone, The Princess of Wales has donned the ultimate red power suit, sartorial Queen of the moment Rita Ora has schooled us on styling a fiery red maxi dress, and Pamela Anderson reminded us why 90s slip dresses are the ultimate wardrobe essential, wearing a spaghetti strap number to the the premiere of her new documentary, in her iconic Baywatch swimsuit hue.

It was also one of the major street-style trends at Paris Couture Week last week. Karlie Kloss wore the chicest red cape whilst Chriselle Lim nailed a red tweed co-ord for the Chanel show. Guests also rocked red tulle, pleats, leather and feathers. Some were more extravagant than others, though perhaps not as excessive as Doja Cat’s Swarovski ensemble…
Donning any bright hues is potentially scary if your sartorial agenda usually consists of a more Scandi-style colour palette. And though 2023’s runway shows have gone head-to-toe in red, the street-stylers have proven there’s ample ways to incorporate the romantic hue into a killer outfit.
So whether it’s for a date, a night out with friends or just a feel-good addition to your wardrobe, here is the ultimate red outfit inspiration.

As much as it was the VIP colour of the moment for guests at Couture Week, brands made a case for tonal accessories as the go-to way to wear red this spring. Patou brought red separates to the runway, paired with knee high boots, handbags and a hair accessory in the same hue.
Mugler agreed on using just one colour palette, but opted for more romantic, whimsical silhouettes. It took a leaf out of Rita Ora’s book as Mariacarla Boscono donned the ultimate lingerie-inspired red mini dress with long sleeves and matching tights, paired with red barely there sandals and matching bag.
