Red: The 5 disruptive colour combinations for winter straight from the catwalks
Red, the star colour of winter 2026, pairs perfectly with the most unexpected colours.
The combinations with red that define the style of winter 2026
Red has always been captivating with its intensity and passion. This year, however, it is also starring on the catwalks of the Fall/Winter 2025-26 season, putting it back in the spotlight. Designers are seeing red through a different lens, giving it a youthful vibe and romantic aesthetic, pairing it with the most unexpected colors.
Red certainly has the power to attract attention, upgrading even the simplest outfit. However, the suggestions coming from the catwalks are the inspiration we need to wear it in fresh and different ways.
Red and pink
The combination of red and pink is what Valentino, Prada, and Chanel explored for winter 2026. The soft pink essentially tones down the intense red, creating a very balanced effect.
Red and black
A foolproof combination that exudes mystery and has a dramatic effect. Red and black come together this year in the Patou and Valentino collections, with the same intensity and timelessness.
Red and gray
On the one hand, the energy of red and, on the other, sophisticated, elegant gray. Two ingredients that blend together in an always successful stylistic cocktail. Red and gray make up a combination that is ideal for both casual and evening wear.
Red and orange
A colour combination we have come to associate with Saint Laurent's runways, enhanced by the dynamic lines Anthony Vaccarello always incorporates into his collections.
Red and purple
A combination with a long history in fashion and the collections of Christian Dior and Vaccarello. This year, red and purple take on the shiny texture of vinyl in Miu Miu's Fall/Winter 2025-26 collection. However, in addition to bright purple, you can also experiment with softer shades of lilac or violet.
