Red leather, soft landing

A red leather blazer gives a grey T-shirt and straight blue jeans a sharp edge; black ballet flats keep the finish light.

Why it works: One saturated, glossy layer carries the look. Matte cotton and worn denim lower the intensity, while the exposed ankle stops the hip-length blazer from feeling heavy.
Make it yours · One-point colour: Give your everyday base one saturated outer layer. A red cardigan or an open red shirt can make the same point if you have no leather jacket.
