Red is the colour of the season. It’s everywhere. Now is the time to embrace it. It’s easy to assume that’s it’s a difficult colour to wear, but don’t be shy, a little bit of red is good for you.
For the uninitiated, the best place to start is a red and white stripy t-shirt. Banish all thoughts of Where’s Wally immediately. This is actually a very low-key look – the white breaks up the red and makes it feel less, well, red.
If you’re feeling brave, wear it with a pair of red tights. Personally, I love coloured tights and I’m mildly obsessed with finding the perfect pair. After much searching, I’ve found these ones, which are thick, opaque and very comfortable.
Tone everything down with a camel-coloured coat, a bit of denim and some tan boots. This all helps that vibrant red to feel low-key and not too shouty.

Will you be wearing red this autumn?
All by stripy tops are navy or black – maybe I should try red for a change!
I have red tights too but I normally only bring them out on Christmas Day 🙂 I’ve not bought anything red for ages but have just ordered a jumper from M&S. It’s such a cheery colour x
I’ve hardly got anything red in my wardrobe. I’m much more of a ‘if it’s not black put it back’ kind of girl! I do try and embrace a bit of colour though and have a top like this that I love. I think I do need to give this trend a try x
