Racing Red is this week’s monochrome power move, turning outerwear, tailoring, and accessories into a wardrobe built for impact.
Racing Red is not here to behave. It is the colour of brake lights in the rain, silk linings flashing as you move, lipstick that makes everything else in your outfit irrelevant. Where deeper reds can feel romantic or ceremonial, Racing Red is about momentum. It looks like it is already in motion, even when you are standing still. On crisp cotton, glossy leather or soft velvet, it gives familiar silhouettes a sense of speed and intention.
This season, Racing Red cuts through winter wardrobes that have been heavy on black, grey and camel. Designers are using it in sharp outerwear, sculpted sets, velvet flats and jewellery that glows against skin. Head to toe, it reads like a uniform for people who like to lead with impact. Worn in measured hits, it becomes the one element that pulls everything else into focus.
This is how you can wear it now.
Kotn | Asymmetric Zip
Kotn’s asymmetric zip piece gives Racing Red a clean, modern edge. The sharp diagonal closure and refined knit keep the colour controlled, not chaotic, turning a simple layer into something architectural. Styled with dark denim or tonal trousers, it feels like an everyday basic that quietly insists on being noticed.
Namilia | Midnight Fur Coat
Namilia takes the shade to maximum drama. The Midnight Fur Coat wraps Racing Red in volume and texture, creating a silhouette that feels part outerwear, part performance. Thrown over a minimal base of black or white, it turns any pavement into a makeshift runway and any night into an entrance.
Harry Vartan | Regal Rubies
Harry Vartan’s Regal Rubies set places Racing Red in the realm of jewellery. Deep stones set in glowing metal give the colour a jewel-box intensity that sits beautifully against bare skin or crisp shirting. These are the pieces that turn a simple look into an occasion, without needing anything more than a sleeve pushed back or a collar left open.
Chopard | Happy Sport Watch
Chopard’s Happy Sport watch brings precision to the palette. The signature moving diamonds dance above a clean dial, while red accents on the strap and details tie the piece back into Racing Red. It is sporty and refined at once, the kind of watch that makes checking the time feel like part of your styling rather than a habit.
Duran Lantink | Spring 2025 RTW Look 3
Duran Lantink’s Spring 2025 Look 3 treats Racing Red as an exercise in proportion. Cut-outs, volume and sharp tailoring all live inside the same chromatic field, proving that a single colour can still hold complexity. It is for days when you want the outfit to do the talking, from the first meeting to the last drink.
Double A | Lennox Leather Jacket
Double A’s Lennox Leather Jacket gives the classic biker a high-octane upgrade. In Racing Red, the familiar hardware and panels feel more cinematic than rebellious, like something borrowed from a vintage racing archive and dropped into the city. Over a slip dress or wide-leg trousers, it turns layering into a statement rather than an afterthought.
Wrdrobe | Wave Set
Wrdrobe’s Ruby Wave Set softens the speed of the shade with fluid lines. Gentle curves and coordinated separates let Racing Red move with the body instead of sitting on top of it. Worn together, it is an easy two-piece look that reads polished. Split into individual styling, each piece becomes a versatile hit of colour in your rotation.
Wako Babes | Cherry Blossom Cardigan
Wako Babes brings play to the palette. The Cherry Blossom Cardigan filters Racing Red through a softer, more nostalgic lens, with texture and detailing that feel youthful without losing edge. Buttoned up with a mini skirt or left open over a tee and jeans, it adds warmth and personality to monochrome red dressing.
Gianvito Rossi | Carla Velvet Mary Jane Ballet Flats
Gianvito Rossi finishes the story at ground level. The Carla velvet Mary Jane flats translate Racing Red into something plush and grounded, a shoe that can cross a city day without sacrificing romance. The Mary Jane strap and velvet finish give them a vintage inflection, while the saturated colour keeps them firmly in the present.
