There’s No Doubt About It: Red is 2023’s Top Color

If you’ve been on TikTok in the last six months, you’re probably already well aware that we just lived through Tomato Girl Summer. True to its name, Tomato Girl Summer was an aesthetic that embodied bright and bold reds everywhere from makeup to handbags. Lust-worthy red cream blushes, bright nails, a washed-out tint of red on the lips—you get the jist. The bright-red trend wasn’t just about color; it was about lusting over an aesthetic of Farmer’s Markets, journaling, and easy living, too. 

Lucky for those of us who fell for the trend this summer, it’s picked up even more speed for the autumn months. The color of the season is—without a shadow of a doubt—bright red, and its entrance back onto the scene has left us with endless inspiration for fall dressing. While fall is usually defined by deep burgundy and maroon, this season’s red is an orange-leaning, bright iteration that’s a welcome change. Bonus: The color has also been spotted everywhere on Spring/Summer 2024 runways, so it’s safe to say it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

These are the 25 red pieces I’m swooning over for the fall season. Tomato Girl Fall? We accept you.
