Katherine Jenkins pairs red with black for an elegant, yet striking way to wear this season’s favourite colour
Her £45 red M&S trousers prove that the festive season has started, and it’s looking very stylish
Bold pops of red are a must in the run-up to Christmas, but there is no need to save scarlet for December – and Katherine Jenkins proves it in this elegant, smart casual outfit idea, as she performed her new single in London St Pancras station last week.
Looking incredible in a pair of crimson-hued wide-leg trousers by M&S, with a faux fur-trimmed black jumper also by the British clothing brand, Kathrine finished the look with patent heels.
The darker pieces balanced out the shouty red, and it was a great way of toning down this otherwise festive outfit. Red is one of the biggest autumn/winter fashion colour trends for 2026, and Kathrine proved how easy it is to style, and how versatile it can be too.
This merino wool jumper will keep you cosy in the most glamorous of ways as the faux-fur cuffs bring some real wow-factor to the otherwise simple knit.
A crisp pleat down the front of each leg brings a little extra polish and shape to these wide, straight-cut trousers. The stretch fabric keeps them comfy too.
A pair of dazzling drop earrings like these will take a sweater and trouser combination into evening territory with minimal effort.
A pair of black court shoes will work with absolutely any outfit in your winter capsule wardrobe, you'll wear these patent heels on repeat.
These statement bottoms will sit neatly at your waist but will be easy to move around in thanks to an elasticated panel at the back.
Love the tactile faux fur detail? This snuggly sweater has a textured panel at the hem too, which will pair well with skinny jeans and heels.
Katherine's chic take on statement colour is a winner for this pre-festive time of year and can be reworked for all kinds of plans. The star added glitzy earrings and shiny heels for an extra special feel, but this look could work for a low-key weekend too. Switch patent court shoes for your most comfortable trainers and layer under your best trench coat for a high-meets-low vibe that will be very easy to wear.
Kathrine Jenkins is currently one of the stars of the M&S Christmas advert, providing the soundtrack to the highly successful festive advert, and appears in the clip in a sparkly black mini dress that's part of the M&S festive fashion collection.
The black separates tone down a bold shade for right now, but once December is in full swing, you could wear your red trousers with a matching toned blouse and velvet pumps for a daytime celebration, with your new Christmas jumper for a family get-together, or add a sparkly gold jacket for NYE cocktails.
