It’s official: Red is the hue you should be repping this season. One of the top color trends of the year, the bold, festive color is showing up in every incarnation from cozy sweaters to party dresses to vegan leather skirts and more. It’s a statement-making shade that’s surprisingly versatile, one on which the volume can be turned way up (think bold head-to-toe red outfits) or toned down. Now’s the time to try the trend, too, as jewel tones like ruby red are perfect for holiday time. (Not to mention, stocking your closet with the color of love will put you ahead of the game for Valentine’s Day!)

Whether you opt for cooler red clothes or a warmer tone is up to you–and which best complements your complexion. Rest assured, there’s a version of red available that will work for you, whether that’s a bright cherry hue, orangey rust, or a rich wine or burgundy shade. In soft knits, satin blouses, velvet bodysuits, sequin dresses, and more, we’re betting on this bold color in a big way.

So how do you style red clothing? Believe it or not, you can work this vibrant color into even the most understated outfits. The easiest way to outfit yourself in red is to pair it with classic blue denim or a neutral like white or black, but swapping in unexpected colors like bright pink, blush, or pale blue is a fun, fresh take. Of course, monochromatic red-on-red outfits always make a stylish, maximalist statement, especially at holiday time. The bottom line? Red is for everyone. Ahead, shop a few of our favorite ways to wear it right now.
