Poetcore
Effortless Lightweight Trench x Striking Red Socks
Elevated New Year elegance doesn’t depend on bold red; it’s in the art of subtlety. The SS26 urban lightweight trench coat, showcasing clean lines and a draped silhouette, embodies a tranquil rhythm. Meanwhile, the relaxed layers of ‘poetic style’ infuse the look with emotional depth. A vivid pair of red socks or a delicate hint of red at the cuffs serve as lyrical accents against a neutral canvas—discreet yet effortlessly inviting good fortune to be your constant companion.
Preppy Academia Style
Red Knit Cardigan x Timeless Loafers
Embrace a preppy vibe with a red knit cardigan that seamlessly integrates into your wardrobe. Its soft, inviting texture weaves festive elegance into your everyday life, whether casually draped over your shoulders or tied at the front, creating a layer of breathable sophistication. Pair it effortlessly with a crisp shirt, tailored blazer, or deep blue straight-leg trousers, finishing the look with chic loafers. This understated splash of red exudes vitality, ensuring the auspicious spirit of the New Year walks alongside you with every step.
Homestyle Americana
Brown Sweatshirt × Elegant Printed Scarf
Soft American style begins with a palette of 'Brown + Navy'—a sweatshirt paired with relaxed joggers, offering comfort without sacrificing texture. A layered navy jacket grounds the colour scheme and enhances the clean lines. Finally, tie on a printed silk scarf at the neckline, like an invisible signal of good fortune, instantly illuminating the atmosphere with every turn.
Boldly Androgynous
Bold Red Knit Vest × Soft-Hued Scarf
Embodying the essence of urban chic, this ensemble presents a masterclass in effortless lightness: an oat-hued jacket harmoniously paired with tapered, draped trousers creates a strikingly sleek silhouette. At its core, a bold red knit top injects vibrant energy and a hint of good fortune. To complete the look, a soft-hued scarf adds a sophisticated layer, culminating in a clean, enduring style that captivates and commands attention.
Graceful Simplicity
Fiery Red Midi Skirt × Vibrant Colourful Jewellery
Transitioning from runway street style to everyday commutes, the age of 'deliberate sophistication' is giving way to 'effortless elegance' as the new luxury. A pristine shirt, elegantly paired with a vibrant red midi skirt and refined kitten heels, exudes effortless grace. Accentuate the look with playful pops of colourful jewellery that not only brighten the ensemble but also infuse your day with a sense of good fortune.
Preppy Perfection
Vibrant Red Jacket x Chic Ballet Flats
Infuse early spring with a vibrant 'preppy girl vibe'—a crisp blue polo shirt paired with a light khaki boxy mini skirt serves as a fresh canvas, while a striking red jacket ensures good fortune takes center stage. Knee-high socks and ballet flats add a light, playful touch, while a bag that echoes the top's colour palette harmonises the look. Finish with oversized glasses for an added dose of sweet confidence.
