With nostalgic trends suddenly focusing on many of fashion’s most, shall we say, eclectic eras (read: the cyber noughties and pop punk 2010s), vivid hues have taken over from quiet luxury’s restrained palette. From bold neons to tranquil tones of aquamarine, almost every shade in the spectrum has had its moment in the spotlight, giving us a line up of colour combos that have been nothing short of exceptional.

Be it last year’s pretty pink paired with sumptuous brown or sea foam green styled with aquamarine, this summer we’re seeing in colour, but as the season draws to a close, there’s one combination continuing to gain traction: turquoise and red.

Somewhere between the dopamine-inducing vibrancy of tomato red and the airy softness of turquoise blue is a pairing that feels perfectly balanced. It’s striking without feeling overpowering, playful without sacrificing its polish.

There’s a distinctly Mediterranean mood about the combo, perhaps why it has been so appealing in the year of the “Euro summer”. Reminiscent of blue skies set against the terracotta rooftops and eating vine ripened tomatoes by the sea, the sun-soaked mood is captured in a playful colour clash guaranteed to make you feel happier just by looking at it.

But how do you wear such a statement mix? Whether it’s a sleeveless top teamed with a crochet maxi skirt or prim polka-dot capris finished with ballet flats, this colour pairing has been making repeat appearances across the fashion set.

With the sun holding strong for now, if you’re looking for a way to jazz up your staples, you may have just found it. Scroll on to shop the best turquoise and red pieces on the market right now.
