Introducing the Single Most Dominant Color Trend From Fashion Month So Far

Given the sheer quantity of trends that come out of any given runway season, standout colors can oftentimes fail to garner the attention they deserve, being deprioritized in reports because of barely there miniskirts, motorcycle tropes, and voluminous silhouettes. But not this season. After a ubiquitous presence at New York and London Fashion Week, no one can deny that red—specifically a vibrant, chili-pepper red—is one of if not *the* standout trend of fashion month thus far, surpassing even the most shocking garments that've come down the runway.

The list of brands that have included at least one bright-red look is endless, with inclusions ranging from Tory Burch and David Koma to Sandy Liang and Proenza Schouler. And it hasn't only found a place on the runways. On the streets outside of shows, attendees in both London and New York have styled the shade to their hearts' content in the form of handbags, hair accessories, eyewear, ready-to-wear, and more. Below, see every way that chili-pepper red has infiltrated fashion month, from the catwalk to the sidewalk.

At Tory Burch, red was among a handful of vibrant colors that debuted, both in head-to-toe form as pictured here and via smaller touches like a bright, layered sweater or kitten-heel pump. 

On the streets:

Wearing a bright shade like red doesn't have to be intimidating. Start with one or two pieces in an outfit and then slowly but surely incorporate more and more color into your wardrobe.
