Red Emerges as Fall's Defining Menswear Color, From Canali to Zegna
For the upcoming fall season, menswear designers are emphasizing red as the standout color, moving away from the traditional palette of blue, brown, gray, and khaki. This shift reflects the "Unexpected Red Theory" prevalent in interior design. Featured items include eveningwear and accessories, such as a Canali velour dinner jacket priced at $2,250 and a Brunello Cucinelli silk pocket square for $330. Notable sweaters are a Celine cashmere crewneck at $1,950 and a Giorgio Armani cashmere sweater costing $4,495. Sunglasses vary from Ahlem acetate at $570 to Oliver Peoples x Roger Federer at $479. Accessories showcase an Isaia cashmere scarf for $750 and a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch at $27,000. The piece was created by Justin Fenner, Irene Opezzo, Thomas Waller, and Elizabeth Serwin.
