Focus on red to get you in the mood for Autumn! This color change will take your summer outfits to Fall, even if they don’t include sweaters or cozy knits. The color is cozy itself, as fiery as the autumn leaves. But there’s more to it than that. I dove right in to explore why red is the most brilliant color choice for fall fashion.
Whether in clothing or jewelry, red has a cheerful effect to perk up your wardrobe and your mood. It makes you stand out from the crowd. If you buy new pieces in this shade, it’s going to last because it is a forever classic. And so, age doesn’t matter.
This is an updated post to give you the highest quality content.
Wear red from head to toe if you want to stand out. And besides, you’ll look slimmer when you wear all one color. Choose different shades of red to help break up the outfit.
Red accessories add texture to red clothing or a pop of color to neutrals. A punchy handbag in the vibrant hue or a classic shoe, like a kitten heel or loafer, goes a long way when paired with your go-to khaki trench coat or favorite black blazer. A statement piece of bold, red jewelry pairs especially well with all-black looks.
I’m going to be using this guide for my most brilliant fashion color as I transition my clothes to Autumn. How about you? Do you think this will be useful to you? Let me know what you think. Please leave a reply below!

Red is one of those colors I seem to shy away from even though my husband always compliments me when I wear it. I need to create a list of colors to intentionally add to my wardrobe as I see holes. I absolutely love red with purple…that clash of colors makes me smile!
I’m so glad you gave me the feedback on that, because as I was typing in the colors I wondered if it was helpful for my readers. I do use my color combinations to create outfits. It takes some searching through my wardrobe, but it also causes me to find new outfits I wouldn’t have thought of. So the results are rewarding!
I love wearing red. It can make the right pop of color, up the mood and there is a shade for everybody. A warm red paired with olive and brown is posh without being over the top. A cool red looks great with silver/gray and black. The muted and pastel versions like burgundy and pink are almost neutrals. Thus, one can make a quasi-monochromatic look easily.
Hi, Nicole – I appreciate you adding your insights! Yes, indeed, burgundy/wine color is a colored neutral, so it can be combined with any other color. Pale pink/blush also works like a neutral. Thanks for taking the time of comment. XO – Angie

Red with purple is such a beautiful warm combination! You will not be the only one feeling like smiling when you wear it. 😉
Big fan of red for autumn, and wearing it in today’s blog post. I love the Anthropologie red skirt. Thanks for linking at #WowOnWednesday Angie
