Trend of the Week
Where cherry meets coffee
This season's most sophisticated runway shade is red mahogany — a deep, warm tone sitting right between cherry red and chocolate coffee. Pantone named it a defining color of Fall 2026, and it's both bold and remarkably wearable. It looks especially rich on leather — this berry-toned biker jacket carries exactly that balance.

Styling Note
Leather, silk and mahogany
A black leather piece paired with a red-mahogany top or bottom strikes an easy balance between day and night. Add cream trousers below, a thin gold accessory above — simple, but unforgettable.
