Red alert: nine new ways to wear ravishing rouge
To say this colour is having a moment would be a lie. Moments come and go. This is a movement.
Why? Red is an antidote to quiet luxury's whisper and the answer to just about anything from escaping a wardrobe rut to making a jaw-dropping entrance.
Worn head-to-toe, you might need a safe word. Paired with other hues (especially low-key neutrals) and hey, presto — instant polish.
Not convinced? Test drive the theory with a pair of Angelika Jozefczyk 'Sanremo' wide-leg trousers or Wanni Fuga's 'Ally' skirt and thank me later.
If you do commit to the bit, consider a chiffon one-shoulder maxi dress from & Other Stories co-ordinated with strappy leather sandals from Parisian brand Rouje. Extra marks for the name. Very on-brand.
For something clean and contemporary; the 'Rheo' dress by Samsøe Samsøe or COS's fluid halter neck mini offers equal impact. No red flags here.
Colour-shy? Test your comfort zone with low-commitment accessories before challenging your nervous system.
COS's gathered leather pouch adds a soft, sculptural element while a large sphere bead necklace from Whistles offers a playful hit of colour-block charm.
Better yet, look for red in your wardrobe and experiment with summer shades like buttercup and chocolate for extra wear time.
Why? Red is doing the rounds for autumn/winter with cherry proving more than a fleeting flirtation.
It's a power player with longevity and bite. Trust me, this one's not going anywhere soon.

‘Wearing pyjamas in public is a win for me' – fashion editors reveal how they'll wear the controversial lingerie trend
Scroll down to shop bargain looks from £12.99 SWEET DREAMS 'Wearing pyjamas in public is a win for me' – fashion editors reveal how they'll wear the controversial lingerie trend SLIP into something more comfortable for summer - from the lingerie department. You might have blitzed Netflix's Too Much sitcom series, written by Lena Dunham and noticed the main character loves a nightie. Well, she's one of the many who are bringing back the staple nightwear. John Lewis & Partners reports searches for "nightdress" are up 21% and sales are up 14% - and JL's £34 white seersucker nightie is the most popular this summer. Advertisement Other high-end brands have seen an uptake in sales, too. And it's not just for after dark - celebrities Sabrina Carpenter, Bella Hadid and Rihanna are wearing nighties as a part of their summer wardrobe. The best bit? They're perfect for heatwave weather when you need something light and breathable and, most importantly, don't want anything sticking to your skin. Advertisement The Fabulous fashion team reveal how they will wear theirs. Abby McHale, 31, Deputy Fashion Editor 3 Abby goes for a nightie-style top Credit: Fabulous Cardigan, £87, & Other Stories - BUY NOW Skirt, £45.99, Mango - BUY NOW Top, £45.99, Zara - BUY NOW Bag, £105, Charles & Keith - BUY NOW Shoes, £109, Mint Velvet at John Lewis & Partners - BUY NOW I love how feminine this style of dressing is, but there is a thin line between it looking stylish and just looking like you're wearing a nightie! So I've opted for this black lace halterneck-style top from Zara. Advertisement Fashion lovers rush to M&S to snap up perfect pumps that are 'so pretty' for summer - and they come in various colours to match your vibe It can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion and the black shade means it's great as we head into A/W. Because this hemline is asymmetric with the lace detailing at the bottom, you can also add a knit over the top like this cardigan from & Other Stories, which means if you want to layer, it's a chic way of still seeing the top underneath. Pairing with a poplin midi skirt, and finishing with ballet flats and a bag. Emily Regan, 25, Fashion Assistant 3 Emily loves this floaty dress Credit: Fabulous Hat, £12.99, New Look - BUY NOW Necklaces, £25.99 for three, Zara - BUY NOW Dress, £135, Rixo - BUY NOW Bag, £35.99, Parfois - BUY NOW Sunglasses, £65, Le Specs - BUY NOW Shoes, £35.99, Mango - BUY NOW I'm completely on board with this trend, anything that's socially acceptable and feels like wearing pyjamas in public is a win for me. Advertisement I already own a few dresses in this style, but this one from Rixo really caught my eye with its gorgeous print and ruffle detailing, At just 5ft tall, I find mini dresses like this are great for elongating my legs. I've paired the dress with red ballet pumps and floral necklaces to complement the print, added a sturdy bucket bag and finished the look off with tinted sunglasses and a gorgeous raffia bucket hat. This summer look would work just as well for a Euro getaway or a garden party as it would for a casual shopping day. I love how versatile this dress is, although it's slightly more expensive at £135, it is a piece that you could style all year round. Advertisement It would look equally as great in the winter, paired with some sheer tights and boots, layered underneath a jacket. Clemmie Fieldsend, 35, Fashion Editor 3 Clemmie adds jeans underneath for a more daytime feel Credit: Fabulous Jeans, £27.99, Zara - BUY NOW Sunglasses, £65, Mint Velvet - BUY NOW Dress, £64.99, H&M - BUY NOW Belt, £88, Reiss - BUY NOW Bag, £99, Dune at John Lewis & Partners - BUY NOW Sandals, £29, Next - BUY NOW My usual sleepwear go-to is an XL men's T-shirt or a satin two-piece, so wearing a nightie during the day is very out of my comfort zone. However, I'm fully on board with this boho-inspired trend that's come just in time for the heatwave. This dress from H&M ticks the nightwear box with its sheer fabric and fluidity - even if it's more A Christmas Carol than 50 Shades Of Grey - and for me, it has to have sleeves, and I love the addition of the petal detailing. Advertisement I wear mine with a pair of simple straight-cut jeans underneath and continue the nod to boho with suede and my favourite Next flip-flops and slouchy grab bag from Dune. Sometimes I wear a belt to create more definition in my silhouette, but when it's hot - no, thank you. Topped off with brown sunnies and I'm ready for the sunshine.

Love Island bombshell Rheo reveals villa boys ‘queuing up' in her DMs after snubbing her on the show
LOVE Island bombshell Rheo has revealed that villa boys are 'queuing up' in her DMs, after snubbing her on the show. The stunning Casa Amor star previously said she is 'annoyed' about her experience in the villa after she grew close to ladies' man Harry Cooksley. Advertisement 4 Love Island bombshell Rheo has revealed that villa boys are 'queuing up' in her DMs, after snubbing her on the show Credit: TikTok / rheouno 4 The bombshell shared a cheeky video on social media Credit: TikTok / rheouno 4 The star recently said she's 'annoyed' about her Love Island experience Credit: ITV But Rheo, who ended up getting sent home after Harry returned to the main villa solo, says she's now getting boys 'queuing up' after the short-lived experience. Rheo appeared in a new TikTok clip with her blow-dried brown locks down in a crop top. Flashing a glam makeup look to the camera, the bombshell danced along to the track 'You Don't Own Me.' Flashing cheeky glances at the camera, Rheo lip-synced to lyrics including: 'You're dancing here like you know me.' Advertisement And over the top of the playful clip, Rheo wrote: 'When no one wanted you in the villa but all of a sudden they're queued up in my DMs.' Rheo's co-star Emma replied: 'Um I wanted you,' while others begged the star to reveal who had been sliding into her DMs. Recently, Rheo revealed that she didn't want to do Casa at all. During a Q&A with fans, she said: 'I wanted to be flown home when they told me l was in casa. Advertisement 'I just knew it wasn't going to be for me.I don't fight for the spotlight and certainly don't fight over a man.' Casa Amor star Rheo CONFIRMS Love Island fix rumours as she reveals 'scrap' with show rival that wasn't shown on camera She continued: ' I don't regret it but l'm annoyed that that was my love island experience, because realistically I won't get to do it again and l feel as though I was just a part in a big machine for Harry's storyline.' During her brief stint on the show she was seen chatting to Harry, but admitted she also got to know Conor but it wasn't aired. At first, Harry tried to stay respectful to Helena Ford by sleeping on the daybeds. Advertisement But he was later seen snogging Rheo in bed and made fans feel sick when he told her that he would give her an orgasm. Teasing sex in their future, he also remarked: "I think we'll maybe see sooner than you think." Viewers were convinced that Harry would bring her back to the main villa and were shocked when he decided to ditch her. Speaking after her exit, Rheo said: She replied: "to be honest, I was as shocked as the rest of the nation, like, it's Harry, to be fair, what did I expect? Advertisement "But I was actually a bit shocked with him, because we did get deep. Harry has a deep level." She continued by branding him a gameplayer saying: "I think he wanted to repair his reputation there. "Just go in, go with Helena, and hopefully get to the end. I know he's got a game plan." 4 Rheo didn't make it into the main villa after being snubbed by Harry Credit: Instagram / @rheouno
