I'm not going to lie, when the first crimson-and-camel outfit came across my desk last year, I was in no way a fan. To me, a notorious khaki hater, it felt like a stretch to combine such drastically different hues. But that all shifted when I saw a fellow editor wearing a colorblock 'fit of the same variety, during September Fashion Week. Suddenly, layering red and camel became my favorite styling trick.
After that, I started seeing it everywhere I turned—on my feed, at the office, on the streets, and in stores. The runways, too, reflected this trend, with big-name brands like Coach and Carven utilizing the unexpected color contrast in their fall collections.
