If there’s one thing I learned at Fall Fashion Week last, it’s that tomato red is a thing. Prada, The Row, Loewe, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen, Ferragamo…all of them featured a healthy dose of red on the runway last fall.
And as we head into Spring 2024, the red trend is alive and well. The shade pops up everywhere from nail polish to Heidi Klum’s head-to-toe leather look. After last year’s Barbie pink movement, designers are going even bolder.
More than a color, tomato red is a statement. It symbolizes love, luck, and passion. Wear it with confidence by following the tips below.
How to Style Tomato Red
The best part about wearing tomato red is that it pairs beautifully with almost every neutral, which means you can easily style new red pieces with your existing wardrobe.
Black, white, and camel work best, but if you’re feeling bold, pair tomato red with another bright shade like Barbie pink or navy blue.

Accent vs. Centerpiece
Red is a versatile color—it can be an accent or own the show. Go all-out with a monochrome red dress and heels, or keep it subtle with a few accessories. Even in small doses like these flame-red Oscar de la Renta earrings, the color is eye-catching.
Tomato red shoes and jewelry are a great way to update your wardrobe for spring. These wedge sandals from Ferragamo can be worn on their own or with a matching red outfit for even more of a statement. Complete the look with daring red lipstick for a luxurious feel.
