Red is without a doubt the colour of the season. Over the past few months we’ve spotted it styled up on all of our favourite celebrities in the form of mini handbags, oversized knits and beautifully bold dresses; as well as modelled by our favourite influencers who have shown their penchant for all-things-knitwear in the chic shade. But, for us mere mortals who have looked on with awe, styling never seems so easy on this side of the screen.
