Kendall Jenner has already worn 2024’s hottest “accessory”: the color red.
This season the Big Four fashion month cities witnessed a number of emerging street-style trends, ranging from bold statement coats paired with white tees to crewneck jumpers amped up with maximalist skirts. Among these trends, one styling move stood out as both simple and effective: the clever use of a “pop of red.” This styling technique involves adding a single item, whether it’s a top, a jumper, shoes, or a handbag, in a vibrant shade of ruby, crimson, or scarlet to a pared-back ensemble.
During a date night at Luis Miguel’s concert in New York with her boyfriend Bad Bunny, Jenner chose a simple off-duty outfit that was enhanced by a flash of scarlet. She wore a black tank top paired with tailored high-waist trousers cinched with a leather belt, complemented by pointed-toe heels, oval-framed sunglasses, and a Gucci horsebit clutch, all in black. What truly stood out, however, was the plain crimson knitted sweater casually draped over her shoulders, adding a dash of personality into an otherwise classic look.
While attending Sabato de Sarno’s debut Gucci show during Milan Fashion Week (a few days before the megabrand launched its first campaign with Jenner alongside Bad Bunny), the model styled a mini classic trench coat with a pair of patent burgundy slingbacks and a matching Gucci Jackie bag.
When in doubt, follow Kendall Jenner’s lead and incorporate a “pop of red” into your autumn looks for an instant zest to any outfit. Plus, this trend isn’t going anywhere in 2024, as this styling hack was seen on the spring-summer 2024 runways at Courrèges, We11done, Mowalola, and Stella McCartney, as well as The Row’s prefall 2024 show.
