It’s a Rhode summer, and Hailey Bieber kicked it off by not only launching some of the season’s most viral products and hosting an It-girl summit in Rhode Island, but also by debuting a new color combination for fashion people to obsess over and recreate for the remainder of 2026. What is it? Red and brown, a duo that makes any other pairing feel boring by comparison. Navy and brown? Over it. Brown and butter yellow? Feels expired. Red and brown, however, especially when worn à la Bieber, is a guaranteed hit every time.
What makes Bieber’s new go-to color combination such a success is how it mixes neutrals with a pop of color, without sacrificing elegance and polish. Adding a bright pink or purple can sometimes err too far on the playful or kitschy side, whereas red, especially in recent years, has become more of a classic color option than a trendy one. It’s bold but sophisticated. To make the pairing even chicer, follow Bieber’s styling lead, wearing a red long-sleeve top with a brown pencil skirt—hers is vintage Prada from 1996—and finishing the ensemble off with brown, beaded thong sandals from Staud and a vintage black Chanel bag.
