Is there a new buzzword in the fashion circle again? Come on, "Encore Ray" is super stylish!
In the Miss Sixty Spring 2025 advertising campaign, Yang Mi's red and gray outfit stands out, with the bold color clash interpreting a new vintage trend. It looks stunning, enjoyable to watch, more please!
Each year, the fashion world stirs up a trend in color. At the beginning of 2025, a new style of dressing has emerged – "Encore Ray" fashion, which, as its name suggests, combines "Encore Red with Grey tones."
Throughout the entire year last year, Encore Red, as Gucci's signature color, swept through the fashion circle, being rich yet unassuming, passionate yet full of charm.
Meanwhile, grey-toned outfits, belonging to the Grey family, have gained a massive following as the pinnacle of intellectual chic. The neutral, calm, and restrained attributes of grey have fascinated many.
The appeal of colors lies in how they are worn. Red and grey have been worn every year, but this year, let's mix it up a bit.
50% Grey + 50% Red: Avant-garde Aesthetics in High Saturation
Red is full of passion and vitality, intense and unrestrained; grey is reserved and low-key, calm and rational. When Encore Red meets Grey, the boldness of red is balanced by grey, preventing it from being too loud, while the tranquility of grey gains life from red, stopping it from being too dull. Together, they present avant-garde aesthetics in extreme colors.
The combination of a burgundy sweater and grey casual pants is both easy to wear and timeless. Pairing shoes in a red hue similar to the sweater can create a cohesive look, enhancing visual continuity.
Layering with a neutral-colored T-shirt, such as black or white, and exposing a bit of the hem as a transition between the red and grey, unintentionally creates a sense of layering. This outfit-building idea is equally applicable to any clashing color combination.
Few colors can showcase female charm better than red. Pairing skirt outfits with the Encore Ray color scheme, the clash between different materials and colors instantly brings out the autumn and winter ambiance, being both low-key and seductive.
Whether choosing a top in red and bottoms in grey, or vice versa, you can select items with varying saturations based on your skin tone, body shape, and personal preferences to create your own unique outfit template.
The party outfits meticulously chosen by trendy girls always catch people's eyes. A fitted crop top is definitely a powerful tool for creating a stunning look. A red cardigan that hugs the curves of the body outlines a beautiful silhouette, and the cutouts on the chest undoubtedly boldly interpret sexiness and fashion, bringing to life the attire of the leading lady in an American campus drama.
When the intense red and deep grey feel too heavy, simply add a few clever pieces to effortlessly achieve a lively transformation in style.
Draping a white sweater over your shoulders not only balances the richness of the overall color scheme but also adds a touch of softness and casualness to your outfit. The addition of a baseball cap and sneakers cleverly dilutes the formality of a suit, bringing a refreshing twist.
For girls who love vintage charm, I highly recommend boldly trying an Encore Red coat, especially a grandpacore-style jacket. It pairs perfectly with relaxed grey suit pants, making it one of the favorite combinations among fashion bloggers at present. This outfit breaks the stereotype of gender-specific dressing, and a leather coat will add even more attitude!
The All Grey Look naturally exudes a tough vibe, but it can feel a bit dull in the color-deficient winter. Red stockings, as a feminine item, can neutralize the coldness of grey and provide a high-saturation visual impact.
The trends in the fashion world never cease to recycle, and life is not a monochrome palette. Just as we choose and match different materials, styles, and colors when dressing, we need to find our own balance in the multifaceted dimensions of life. This balance is the interplay between red and grey, the complementarity of passion and calmness, and more importantly, the wisdom to adhere to oneself and act in accordance with the trend in this noisy world.
