If you\u2019re not careful, FashionTok will suck you in with its never-ending \u201ccore\u201d aesthetics<\/a>, styling hacks<\/a>, and the next big must-buys \u2014 all for them to be forgotten weeks later. How do you keep up? More importantly, how do you know which ones to stick around for or scroll past?<\/p>\n

I personally watch out for the trends style stars are incorporating into their IRL looks. One that\u2019s showing signs of a revival is the unexpected red theory, courtesy of Millie Bobby Brown.<\/p>\n

Millie\u2019s Strawberry Girl \u2018Fit<\/h2>\n

On Thursday, April 9, the Stranger Things<\/em> alum posed for her ready-to-wear brand\u2019s new drop, wearing a summer-ready casual look. On top, she wore a cropped tank ($25)<\/a> that was completely white save for one tiny strawberry printed on it. It\u2019s part of Florence By Mills\u2019 new \u201cCape Escape\u201d collection, which prominently features the strawberry motif. <\/p>\n

Her outfit\u2019s bottom half had a similar pop of red. Brown pulled up her red undies\u2019 waistband for an intentional peekaboo moment under her light denim micro miniskirt. (This exact hue currently isn\u2019t available on the site, but similar ones in gray<\/a> and white<\/a> are.) <\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t end there either. Even her shoes \u2014 heeled peep-toe mules with a bow on each foot \u2014 repped the same crimson shade. She completed the look with tortoiseshell sunglasses and a dainty gold necklace layered with a strand of skinny pearls. <\/p>\n

The Unexpected Red Theory<\/h2>\n

In 2024, interior designer Taylor Migliazzo Simon coined \u201cthe unexpected red theory\u201d<\/a> on TikTok to explain how any pop of red instantly makes a home look better. The philosophy proved to be true for fashion and beauty, too. To this day, street style stars<\/a> and celebs<\/a> still add the color to their \u2018fits. In Brown\u2019s case, her tiny red inserts kept her otherwise basic ensemble interesting. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for one TikTok-approved trend to follow this spring and summer, this one\u2019s a great one to try. You can start small, adding bits of red to your outfits. Consider a flash of cherry socks with your jeans-and-sneakers combo or a scarlet bag. You can also copy Brown and opt for a predominantly white top with a red detail, such as her strawberry top, or a raglan tee with colored sleeves. Or, go bold with bigger red pieces. <\/p>\n
