Key fashion trends of the season: Red

Dress, £1670 and shoes, £540 Frida Giannini knows how to cut dresses. Her designs for Gucci turn many a head. This season, she draped and pleated up to 35 metres of chiffon to create stunning eveningwear in this season's signature colour: red. Drawing inspiration from the colour, here are the Observer's top ten favourite red items from the high street Both from gucci.com Fashion editors: Jo Jones and Helen Seamons Photographer: Kevin Foord Model: Jessiann at Models 1 Hair and Make-up: Juliana Sergot Photograph: PR Coat, £120 Button this pillar box coat over a little black dress or ankle skimming cigarette pants to achieve a chic statement look By Warehouse from houseoffraser.co.uk Photograph: PR Dress, £85 The colour and the beading on this dress reminds us of something Lady Mary Crawley wore in Downton Abbey. A word of advice though: order this online, because the ones we saw in store had become quite frayed due to excess handling From topshop.com Photograph: PR Dress, £89 This claret red, simply lined dress offers a minimalist chic.

We'd wear these with a high heel and a blouse (tucked in) From frenchconnection.com Photograph: PR Trousers, £150 Make a change from your blue jeans with these skinny cords. They look great with a leather jacket and ankle boots By Rag & Bone from matchesfashion.com Photograph: PR Platforms, £195 Yes, these are high but they are almost like slippers when you wear them- honest!
