Helen Skelton's vibrant red Mango blazer and suit trousers offer a sophisticated take on this playful colour trend
Skelton's fiery red Mango suit is bound to sell out fast
Helen Skelton makes a case for embracing pigmented red tailoring this season, as she was spotted in a sharp double-breasted blazer and matching suit trousers in a recent Instagram post.
Not only are we seeking colour inspiration from her suit, but her exact blazer and straight-leg trousers are actually available to shop at one of our high-street favourites – Mango. So if you're looking to freshen up your best trouser suit collection, you're in luck.
We love the way she's styled this pigmented red tone alongside a rosy pink with the addition of her pointed heels. Pink and red together is a colour pairing that we're seeing much more of, and we love the playful, feminine feeling it evokes. Adding a touch of glamour to her tailoring, she wears a chunky gold chain bracelet and large gold hoops.

The crossover fastening on this double-breasted blazer gives it a contemporary edge that feels effortlessly stylish. The fitted shape cinches the waist in and creates a flattering hourglass shape. Create a playful jeans and a blazer outfit with this piece.
Not only can you style these high-waisted suit trousers with the matching blazer, but they will brighten a simple white shirt effortlessly too. Or pair with a neutral knit.
The block heel on these slingback heels is a practical feature that will provide you with much more comfort than classic stiletto heels. The rosy pink colour feels especially chic during the summer months.
In a strikingly similar colour to Helen's Mango blazer, this linen-rich jacket will create just as much impact whilst keeping you cool with its breathable linen finish. Wear with the matching trousers, or team with laid-back denim.
These wide-leg trousers feature a comfortable elasticated waistband at the back for hidden comfort. Not only do they work for dressy occasions, but they also pair with simple t-shirts for everyday styling.
This chunky chain bracelet will give you all the glamour without the high price tag. It's made from a resilient stainless steal and features a gold-tone finish.
Investing in vibrant, colourful tailoring is always a wise move, but especially during the warmer season when calendars start to fill with social engagements. Not only does this suit work for smart evenings or days out, but it could also be a striking alternative for the best wedding guest dresses, too.
What makes tailored separates so versatile is the styling options that they provide. For example, a vibrant red blazer works just as well for everyday styling layered over a simple white t-shirt and your favourite jeans, whereas suit trousers can be dressed down with your best white trainers effortlessly. You'll never go wrong with investing in colourful tailoring.
