Naomi Watts just made a strong case for swapping classic white trainers for this bold colour
You can never go wrong with a bold pop of red
If you need inspiration for comfortable autumn outfit ideas this season, the airport is the place to look. Celebrities know how to travel in style and comfort, and Naomi Watts’ travel ensemble is an outfit we would happily wear on repeat.
Spotted in a pair of relaxed grey track pants and a bomber jacket that nails the leather jacket trend, Naomi’s red Super Lowpro shoes from Vans really make this outfit one to recreate.
Red is one of the standout autumn/winter fashion colour trends for 2026, and the easiest way to incorporate it into any look is through your accessories. This could be a handbag or hairscarf, but as Naomi proves, a pair of red trainers really pack a punch – and feel that bit fresher than your favourite white trainers.
With lightweight cushioning and a specially designed lining that gives a 'breathable, barely-there feel,' these trainers not only promise to bring a pop of colour to jeans and tailored trousers, but they'll also keep you comfortable too.
A leather jacket is one of the most versatile pieces to have in an autumn capsule wardrobe. The sleek texture complements satin and silk just as well as denim.
The right pair of track pants will work way beyond the front door, with sleek, straight-leg cuts offering a more refined style. Keep your trainers clean and smart for an elevated finish.
The soft, supple suede finish of these trainers adds a luxe touch to the bold red look. This fabric also makes them a great pair to contrast with textures like denim, leather and satin for a tactile edge.
A gently cropped silhouette makes this jacket perfect for pairing with baggy trousers, whether they're wide-leg jeans or loose-fitting joggers, as the waist-defining cut brings balance.
We love barrel-leg jeans, so of course we're going to pay attention to joggers in the same flattering, tapered cut. It lends an elevated feel, increasing versatility.
Tomato red was a mainstay on the autumn/winter runways, with designers including Michael Kors, Carolina Herrera and Hermès sending colour-drenched occasionwear and bold, sensuous gowns down the catwalk. But when it comes to everyday capsule wardrobes, you only need a hint of red to really make an impact.
Naomi highlighted her red trainers by keeping her travel look muted and neutral, with her black leather bomber providing contrast and proving exactly why timeless styles like this remain some of the best autumn jackets. To soften the effect, her grey track pants acted as a neutral bridge to create a more refined transition between the two shades.
It’s a trick you can rely on when styling any bold shoe against a more muted outfit. Just opt for grey wool trousers, a grey pencil skirt or even grey-wash denim to soften harsher shades like black and play them into brighter pops.
Remember that red is actually a relatively neutral colour. It can look effortlessly chic with many other hues, from neutrals like white, navy, black or brown, to more playful tones. A personal favourite of mine is red and lilac – or you could change things up with a pattern like leopard spots.
