Whether your go-to shade is tomato or more of a deep crimson, there is no denying red’s influence on the sartorial scene in recent years.
And it looks like it’s going nowhere any time soon, when you look at NikeSKIMS’ new outerwear collection.
Designed to extend the NikeSKIMS wardrobe beyond foundational essentials, the collection introduces two new material franchises: Sherpa and Crunchy Nylon.

Alongside this, there’s a bold new University Red colourway.
This is a bold and bright departure from the muted palette that has defined the collaboration (and Kim Kardashian’s aesthetic) thus far.
Looks like a pop of red is here to stay.
The new collection is as perfect for your active pursuits as it is just regular weekend wear.
Oversized parks, cropped jackets, statement layers and effortless throw-on pieces have been designed to move seamlessly between workouts, weekends and everyday wear.
The collection also debuts Stretch Knit 2.0, featuring a new range of polos, oversized tops, shorts and wide-leg pants crafted from a seamless yarn construction for an elevated drape and fit.
Many of the items come in University Red, as well as the expected neutral shades, and shoppers can mix and match or go whole-hearted in their approach to the red for a bold and vivid look if they wish.
There are many highlights in the collection, but personally I have my eye on the NikeSKIMS Sherpa Women’s Oversized Gilet ($240) as well as the Crunchy Nylon Cropped Red Jacket ($260).
I’ve always been a sucker for outerwear, owning more jackets and gilets than I care to put a number on.
But sadly, I may have to add to my collection with this latest launch.
Concerning the materials, there isn’t too much you need to know.
Sherpa is softer for vests, half-zip jackets and more.
While Crunchy Nylon is a sportier finish, perfect for wrapping up after a running session at night.
The Women’s Wide Leg Trousers in Crunchy Nylon ($200) are also a great piece to add to your wardrobe for an effortlessly cool finish.
Returning favorites include Weightless Layers, Performance Cotton Blend, Stretch Knit and Matte across foundational and seasonal styles, giving women hundreds of styling options.
“With NikeSKIMS, we want women to feel confident and put together, and this collection takes that even further,” says Kim Kardashian, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, SKIMS.
“The outerwear adds a whole new layer to the wardrobe and gives women even more ways to style NikeSKIMS throughout their day.
“I’m especially excited about the University Red colorway. It’s bold, effortless and brings so much energy to the collection.”
