With fall settling in, it’s the perfect time to cozy up in a color combo that’s been all the rage this season – red and grey. Today, I’m excited to share an outfit that combines these two colors in the most stylish and feminine way.
A pleated grey mini skirt paired with a vibrant red cardigan layered over a crisp white tee, complete with red kitten heels and a classic black oval shoulder bag. This look is equal parts chic, comfortable, and on-trend, making it a go-to for any Fall day.
Why do red and grey work so well together?
Red is undoubtedly one of the colors of the season, bringing a bold yet warm vibe to any outfit. From burgundy to classic red, this color is powerful, feminine, and makes an instant statement. Paired with the soft, neutral tone of grey, it strikes the perfect balance between bold and subtle, trendy and timeless. The grey mini skirt keeps the look modern and seasonally appropriate, while the red cardigan adds a cozy pop of color that’s both playful and sophisticated. It’s a look that feels put-together without being overdone, and that’s exactly what we want for Fall, right?
Where to wear this look?
This outfit is perfect for brunch with the girls, where you can stay comfy yet stylish as you sip your lattes and catch up on the latest. It’s also an ideal choice for a casual coffee date - the look is flirty and fun, yet effortlessly sophisticated. Plus, the low kitten heels make it easy to walk around the city or explore new spots without missing a beat. For some reason, I can also imagine wearing this ensemble to a chic old bookstore as the red would pop out between the dark wood tones of the book shelves. Maybe it's the romantic in me, but if you live somewhere where they have bookstores like this (for example London or Paris), this would be the cutest outfit to wear there!
Red sligback heels by Vivaia
Let’s talk about the stunning red slingback heels I’m wearing - the Addison slingback heels by Vivaia. As someone who’s been a fan of the brand for years, I can say they’ve outdone themselves with these beauties. The pointed toe and soft knit fabric add a modern, feminine touch, while features like arch support, the AdaptAll Strap™, and a moisture-wicking insole ensure incredible comfort. The anti-slip outsole and 6.5cm heel make them as practical as they are chic.
What I love most is their eco-friendly design - the knit upper is crafted from recycled plastic bottles, proving you don’t have to compromise style for sustainability. These heels are perfect for adding a bold pop of red to any look, seamlessly transitioning from polished daytime chic to evening elegance.

Embracing femininity through fashion
This outfit perfectly captures what I love most about fashion - the ability to feel both feminine and powerful at the same time. The playful mini skirt, bold red accents, and chic accessories make this look undeniably girly, but there’s a modern, confident edge to it that I adore. Fashion has a way of speaking for us, and embracing my femininity through my outfits makes me feel strong and confident. It’s a reminder that softness and strength go hand in hand, and that there’s nothing more powerful than owning your personal style.
Stay fabulous,
