Red is synonymous with passion and seductiveness. This is one of the most flirtatious, eye-catching and interesting colors. In red clothes, you can look elegant and classic, luxurious and chic, but also a little tricky and dangerous. Both men and women like this color, but most of them are wary of things in red, as it is not for everyone. But is it really so?
Most likely, the fact is that it can be quite difficult to choose “your” red shade; and the standard tones of this color only emphasize any skin imperfections. In addition, the wrong shade of red can provide an unhealthy complexion and a sickly look. However, don’t immediately rule out red dresses, blouses and skirts from your wardrobe: with our simple style tips you can discover how to wear red and look good.
RED LOOKS
The most important step to looking good in red is finding your shade of red. It should add warmth to your look and be in perfect harmony with skin tone, eye color and hair.
Surprisingly, red can have both warm and cold tones. For example, for blondes with fair skin, a red bustier dress in a paler tone (coral, strawberry, pale scarlet) is best suited in combination with a blue tint for a jacket, shoes or outerwear. But ladies with a golden skin tone and brown-red hair, on the contrary, should choose fiery and dark shades of red clothes, combining them with a purple, chocolate, beige shade.
COMBINATIONS WITH RED
Having chosen the best shade of red for yourself, you need to know what it is best to combine it with. Here, the rules of the color wheel will fit, and tips on choosing accessories if you need a little accent, and not a whole image in red.
Red and white and red and black are some of the most classic color combinations that always look great. However, you will not surprise anyone with such combinations. The best idea is to mix all three and look chic and unique. For example, combine a red oversized jacket with a white fitted suiting top and high-rise palazzo trousers, adding gold accessories to this look.
You’ll get an interesting result if you create a total look with different shades of red. For example, pair a pink midi skirt with a tomato turtleneck, burgundy coat, and scarlet stilettos (or boots if the look is in a street style). It is very convenient to create a total look from the items that immediately make up an integral outfit: jumpsuits, trouser suits, dresses and sundresses.
Clothes with the red print also looks fantastic. Moreover, it does not attract so much attention and looks more relaxed. Think of a beige dress with a red polka dot skirt, a silk white blouse with puff sleeves in red stripes, or a sexy pencil skirt with a red floral print.
