The 2026 Color to Wear With Red, According to Victoria Beckham Leave a comment

We talk a lot about color at Who What Wear. Which ones are trending? What shades look best with them? Who’s styling them most interestingly? These kinds of questions often lead to one particular trendsetter, who seems to have a knack for combining colors in ways we hadn’t thought of before, making them feel fresh rather than dated, and sparking styling ideas every time she steps out. That person? Victoria Beckham—and her latest color pairing literally proves my point.

Ahead of Paris Fashion Week, where she will debut her F/W 26 collection for her namesake brand, Beckham was spotted on the streets of the French capital wearing red with the specific shade of brown that makes it pop every time: tan. Red really looks good with everything, from chocolate brown to cream or gray, but after it became *the* color a few years back, so many of those combinations have started to feel played out. Red and tan, however, still have a long time before their expiration dates.

On Victoria Beckham: Hermès bag

Specifically, Beckham paired a chunky red turtleneck tucked into a pair of tan, high-waisted flares, which she styled with heels, a pair of oversized sunglasses, and a shearling-lined Hermès Kelly bag. Upon seeing the ensemble, I was instantly reminded of a similar outfit worn by Heaven Mayhem founder Pia Mance during a recent trip to New York City (she lives in Los Angeles). She, too, styled a red turtleneck with tan pants—hers were suede—and a Kelly bag, though she went for a more classic black-with-gold version. Mance finished off the look with white heels and ’90s sunglasses.

Clearly, this color combination is catching on, and with spring coming up, it will undoubtedly be seen in flux. To get ahead of the trend, keep scrolling. Below, you’ll find ways to recreate Beckham’s tan-and-red outfit, as well as more shoppable items in both shades.
