It feels weird to say red is a fashion trend for 2025, as red never really goes out of fashion. However, I am seeing far more of it this summer than previously. Instead of just being a single pop of color, red is taking over entire outfits, from sunglasses to toenail polish. The red is either a clear, bright primary red, or it's getting warm with a fiery brightness.

Summer 2023 was supposedly “Tomato Girl Summer,” with red shades that looked warmed by the sun, replicating a ripening tomato. We saw a lot of reds that were closer to brick than vermilion. In 2025, the reds are bright and bold and clear.

Pair red with red; there is nothing wrong with rocking a red dress and red heels and a red bag and red lips. In the summer, you have skin to break up the color. Red looks excellent in 2025 with neutrals like white, tan, and brown.

Pair red with raffia and straw accessories to tone down the color without ruining the style. Have fun mixing red with shades of pink, coral, orange, and clear shades of fuchsia and lilac.

Red isn't just for lifeguards; it's a great color for swimwear, swim coverups, sandals and flip flops, as well as bags, towels, and other pool and beach accessories.

A pop of red is perenially chic; consider picking up a pair of red shoes, sunglasses, or a red purse to be the perfect accent to match with your entire existing wardrobe.

  1. Just the other day I bought a sleeveless shift in tomato red at H & M and the print viscose red and white shirt to wear over it–all for $45, so if I get tired of red which I seldom wear, not a huge deal.

    Passing a bus stop I noticed a woman wearing red Mary Jane flats with jeans and thought it looked terrific.

  2. Oh Allie,

    You’re just so gorgeous! You constantly surprise me with your imaginative, fresh, delightful outfits.
