Dare to Wear Red
WANT TO KNOW HOW TO PULL OFF THE HOTTEST COLOR ON THE CHART? WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED.
SO, DARE TO WEAR RED!
Audrey Hepburn once said, “..there’s a shade of red for every woman” and no matter the language or culture, red is always eye-catching. Symbolizing love, passion, success and joy, the hue can brighten up any look – so this summer, and all other seasons, get in on the red trend!
If you’ve ever been curious about how to implement this pop of color into your life, we have you covered with the many ways you can dare to wear red.
Lipstick
Rosy red lips are the ultimate sign of femininity and the easiest way to brighten up your face. Adding a bit of red to your lip can bring enough attention to your face making you look glammed up in seconds. When shopping for a red lipstick, make sure to choose something smudge proof and flattering to your complexion, because not every red works for everybody. A shade with blue undertones is best for fair skin, orange undertones work well with a tan complexion and a high-pigment orange red lipstick is best for darker skin tones. Remember, with red lips, all you need is a little mascara and blush, and you’re ready to go!
Bag
A little red bag can be all you need to spruce up your look, no matter the color you’re already wearing! It’s one of those accessories that can upgrade your look if you’re trying to switch things up on the weekend. Pair it with all black for a night out or color block it with a pink and orange maxi dress – you have the opportunity to play it up here. While a red bag can be the right finishing touch to an outfit, make sure the size is small or medium because anything bigger can be distracting. Opt for a great satchel with gold accents to give it that distinct, elegant touch.
Dress
When many think of a red dress they think of going out, something tight and flashy but a little red dress can also be an effortless style staple for your day-to-day life. A long maxi or a printed wrap dress can be great for running errands or going to brunch if you’d like a little extra attention. This hue can elevate any garment, even the most casual dress so long as you opt for a more subdued tone to avoid looking like a fire hydrant!
Shoes
There’s a reason Dorothy’s ruby-red slippers were so iconic, and it’s not just their magical abilities! A red shoe is another great and small way of adding the tone into your wardrobe for those not ready to take the plunge with an all red ensemble. Whether they’re sparkly heels or casual sneakers, they can be the statement piece your outfit needs. While these shoes might not grant you any wishes when you click the heels, they can grant you the gift of fabulosity, and that’s pretty cool too.
Top
If you are ready to go a little brighter and more versatile, a red top can do the trick. Whether a tee, a blouse or sweater, a red top can be paired with shorts, a skirt or pants making it the most flexible wardrobe staple. The great thing about this piece is that no matter the time of year, you can go with a bright scarlet or a deep maroon and still look in season. Dress up a pair of jeans with a red blouse or throw on a red tee with white shorts and your look is complete!
Accessories
A little accessory can be a great addition to your look if you want that small pop of color to catch everybody’s eye. Not too bold and jarring, earrings, bracelets, and scarves are interchangeable so you can wear them on multiple occasion throughout the week if you’d like. A textured earring can be great in pictures to draw the attention to you if you can’t commit to a bigger garment. The fun part of accessories is how easy they are to pair with many looks, so you’re definitely getting your money’s worth with this one.
Nails
Did you know that red nails were popularized by Rita Hayworth and was even the choice of color for the women working on assembling weapons during WWII? It’s a powerful color that means business, and there’s no better way to subtly show off how strong you are than with a little nail polish. With so many shades to choose from you can really play around and get creative. If you prefer to be traditional, go for a bright color in the warmer months and a deeper tone when the weather cools.
Pants
Red pants might seem like the hardest item on this list to pull off but don’t fret, it’s easier than it looks! Since the color is strong on its own, there’s no need to overcomplicate things and trying to subdue it. Whether on a night out or during the day if you’re wearing this garment, pair it with a white tee or blouse, and you’re ready to hit the town. A nude or red shoe (in the same tone) will complete the look so go on and give this a try!
