@jullie.jeineStyle Notes: Nothing shows that you mean business more than a tailored suit in confident red. As this look is a statement in itself, keep accessories minimal. Black always works particularly well.
This cropped style feels so fresh for new season.
The matching trousers come with a pleasingly comfortable tailored fit. Sign me up.
The mule is still the perfect mix of business meets casual in a shoe.

@aishafaridaStyle Notes: Yes, you read that correctly. Black leather might be the original, but red leather is the stylish new upgrade and the easiest pairing for this commanding look is casual denim.

@___k_a_i_t_l_i_nStyle Notes: The same applies to accessories, and the trending cowboy boot is made even cooler in a deep red hue.
Allsaints is one of the best on the high street when it comes to leather jackets, and I can't help but want to swap classic black for this red.
Swap your summer vest tops for a thin turtleneck that'll go with everything.
& Other Stories has taken the time to craft a pair of jeans that'll work for everyone. High-waisted, slim-legged and in stretch cotton.
No matter which boot styles come and go, the humble black ankle boot remains the discerning shopper's favourite.

@louisahattStyle Notes: This one's for you, minimalists. Upgrade your usual black uniform with a dose of colour by way of a fluffy knit. You won't need to compromise your carefully curated aesthetic, but it will help to brighten your day. I guarantee it.
Believe me, I've looked, but I still can't find a better double-breasted wool coat for the price point.
If you thought wool knits only came in run-of-the-mill neutrals, let this bright red jumper be the one to change your mind. You'll want to wear it with everything from satin skirts to baggy jeans.
The miniskirt is still making its presence felt. Just add tights and knee-high boots when it's cool, and swap for bare legs, socks and loafers as soon as the sun's out.

@hannah_shepsStyle Notes: Before we know it, it'll be party season, and the big red dress is about to be the best weapon in your arsenal. Voluminous, striking and stylish, when the little black dress feels dated and the long black dress doesn't bring enough energy, the big red dress is the party starter we've been waiting for.

@virginiegrossatStyle Notes: Dress it down with flats or dial up the drama with the crystal-embellished accessories that this dress deserves.
A big dress means big details, and Molly Goddard always gets the memo.
Toughen up romantic dresses with a tough, no-nonsense chunky loafer.
This elegant dress is so easy to throw on for any upcoming event.
You can't put together an unforgettable party outfit without including Jimmy Choo.

@sintijaselickaStyle Notes: Take a look through Sintija Selicka's feed, and you'll find red bags, red shoes, red lipstick and this great red co-ord. The perfect way to factor more red into your wardrobe in small doses.
The easy night out outfit we all need, this sleek set is just asking to be snapped up.
The kind of oversized, double-breasted, and lightweight trench coat that every capsule wardrobe can benefit from.
I bought a pair of M&S's easy-to-wear sandals over four years ago and still wear them so much. This practical heel height can be worn on repeat, trust me!

@borislavasekovaStyle Notes: Should head-to-toe red still feel a little daunting, the easiest way to nod to the trend is to inject a little pop of scarlet into your accessories. From party shoes to evening bags, make any outfit instantly cooler with a spicy kick of chilli red.

@kitkeenanStyle Notes: Trade in dated clutch bags for a revamped mini top-handle tote.
These rhinestone encrusted heart heels are just so special, aren't they?
This double strap take on the classic Mary Janes gets my vote.
Bag fanatics will already know Bottega's iconic silhouettes, but the red Jodie is a certified knockout.
Just look at that glossy, lacquered finish, I'm obsessed.
