Any fashion person who has been around the block knows that Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most reliable sources out there for new-season styling inspiration. Whilst her daily outfits most often involve simple, well-tailored items, the actor likes to liven up her looks by layering in something a little unexpected—often sparking a trend in the process.
Stepping out in a simple look composed of a fresh white tee and black voluminous trousers, Lawrence invigorated her outfit with an easy and underrated styling trick. Casually knotting a vivid red jumper around her shoulders, she utilised the unexpected red theory to add a playful wash of colour to her otherwise casual outfit.
First identified on TikTok, the idea is that a flash of red, either in an outfit or in room decoration, makes the rest of the look or space feel more stylish by proxy. And, I have to say, J.Law proved this theory with her latest ensemble.
A fashion person's favourite way to refresh their daily style, the unexpected red theory utilises the colour's associations with passion and love to inject a fiery element into an outfit in a subtle way. Adding dimension to a look when worn layered over a white tee à la Lawrence, this trend also looks chic in the form of an LBD styled with vivid red heels, or a double-denim look worn with a bright red cap.
It's no secret that the "pop of red" trend was a favourite within fashion circles last season, and now it's officially set to continue its reign. Read on to discover the red items we'll be working into all of our casual looks this season.
