There is no doubt about it. Cheerful cherry red has taken the runways and the street style scene by storm as the shade du jour for the winter 2023 (and 2024!) season. The bold hue continuously enamors us with its vibrant and joyful effect (dopamine dressing is very much still a thing) that is also surprisingly wearable. As we near the end of January, when gloriously sunny days are still a distant memory and dressing for subzero temps is still top of mind, what better way to cure any winter blues than with a festive pop of red? Now back to the street style scene: here to guide us through this color story ever-so-chicly, discover 13 ways to wear red that are bold as they are bright, below. Editor’s note: with Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, we’ve mapped out four additional date-night-approved outfits, all starring the statement shade. Whether you’re headed out with that special someone or your best gal pal, let Kylie Jenner, the street style scene outside of spring 2024 couture week, and more inspire your upcoming loved-up looks.

Earlier this fall, we crowned the statement-making red sweater the ultimate It item to shop–and for winter, the momentum is anything but slowing down. Take these showgoers, for example. On the streets of London and Paris Fashion Week, one fashion darling paired hers with an oversized leather bomber jacket and a pair of knee-high riding boots, while the other chose a classic Burberry check midiskirt to sport with hers. Underneath classic wardrobe essentials, like an oversized camel coat and lived-in jeans, several street style stars even layered in a cherry red turtleneck or long-sleeve tee for a punchy color pop. Then, there were festive red separates fit for February 14th–think sequin midiskirts paired with cozy cashmere crewnecks and ultra-luxe red velvet dresses.
And for those minimalists out there not quite ready to commit to a full monochrome look, one of the easiest ways to inject this colorway into your wardrobe is through accessories. Take cues from Kendall Jenner and finish off your look with a handbag in the vibrant hue. There are classic shoes, too, like a ballet flat or loafer, which go a long way when paired with your go-to khaki trench coat or favorite black blazer. Another small but impactful accent we highly recommend investing in this winter is the red tight, modeled below with a distressed leather jacket and minimalist handbag.
The best part? This shade is a forever classic, so these pieces won’t be getting the boot next season. Below, shop the boldest and brightest cherry red pieces for the season ahead.
