Forget about black pants—this color trend will get you many more compliments.

      I fluctuate between opting for sleek wardrobe essentials and experimenting with trendier, bolder outfits. My choices depend on my mood and what inspires me at the moment. For example, after seeing this outfit worn by Katie Holmes, I'm tempted to set aside my black trousers and try a pair in bright red instead. Recently spotted in New York City, Holmes sported an oversized denim jacket paired with wide-leg trousers in a striking fire-engine-red shade. We've been raving about this color on Who What Wear for ages. Red is certainly enjoying a sustained moment of popularity, and I believe it’s a timeless choice, making it a wise investment. Scroll down to see how Katie Holmes styled her bright-red pants during her day out in New York City, and find similar items from retailers like Zara and Mango.

It showcased incredible Peekaboo bags and asymmetrical earrings. Forget Minimalism—at Prada, pastel coats, Frankenstein skirts, and an abundance of jewelry signified a new chapter in fashion. Forget Minimalism—at Prada, pastel coats, Frankenstein skirts, and an abundance of jewelry signified a new chapter in fashion. Greet every item that fashionable individuals will be purchasing in the spring of 2026. Yesterday in Milan, Fendi showcased its vibrant spring/summer 2026 collection, designed to evoke a fantastical vision of future summers through the brand's unique perspective. The presentation was captivating and surreal, reminiscent of a fashion show viewed through a kaleidoscope. In a post-show press release, Silvia Venturini Fendi commented, "It's about a relaxed and colorful sense of ease infused with romantic elegance. It isn’t confined to a single definition but embodies a fluidity between daily life and exquisite craftsmanship. Simple gestures are paired with intricate work behind the scenes. I've always been drawn to this duality." The lineup of models was predictably glamorous, featuring Alex Consani, Gabbriette, Paloma Elsesser, and Amelia Gray, who strutted down a runway designed to resemble a pixelated color field, showcasing outfits that exuded refreshing nonchalance and vibrant hues. The collection included tiered skirts with fishtail hems and organza collars on bomber jackets, offering a style that is far more sophisticated than typical vacation wear while still embracing the essence of an everlasting summer. Accompanied by a Vibrant Soundtrack for a Pixelated RunwayGiven the runway's striking colors, an equally colorful setting and soundtrack were essential. Guests were seated on large, elongated chairs designed to resemble colorful pixels. Frédéric Sanchez collaborated with Fendi to craft a soundtrack reflecting the show’s diverse cast. He described it as a "pixelized promenade," featuring samples from memorable moments in Italian cinema history, along with segments of Italian opera by icons such as Marcello Mastroianni, Anouk Aimée, Anna Magnani, and Alain Delon, blended with electronic music creations by Scanner and Matthias Schubert. With this soundtrack and Demna's Gucci film earlier in the week, Milan Fashion Week is clearly embracing a cinematic theme. Uneven and Unexpected Earring PairingsIf the collection appeared vibrant, optimistic, and playful from a distance, the details were even more striking. Notably, models showcased mismatched and unexpected earring pairs, resembling someone in a hurry to attend a fabulous event and grabbing the first pieces they found on their nightstand. Some earrings hung like droplets of acrylic paint, while others featured lengthy gold chains adorned with fabric. In the upcoming season, expect to see people emulating this runway trend by mixing their earring sets and deliberately opting for mismatched pairs. The Ultimate Peekaboo BagDiscussions online regarding the Fendi show have centered around the iconic Peekaboo bag. Many of the latest designs are embellished either inside or outside with transparent floral beaded cages, sequined inner pockets, and woven-basket styles. Typically, one might prefer their bag flaps to remain closed, but the Peekaboo bag invites such exposure with delightful and often sequined surprises, making the desire to fasten the bag strap disappear.
