Identify Your Undertones:
Just as with any color, not all shades of red will look equally flattering on everyone. If you have warm undertones, lean towards reds with orange or yellow undertones such as tomato, coral, rust/brick red. For cool undertones, opt for reds with blue undertones such as cherry red, raspberry, or burgundy.
Incorporating Red Into Your Wardrobe:
If you are new to wearing red, start small with accessories like scarves, jewelry, handbags, or shoes. This allows you to ease into the boldness of the color. As you become more confident in your styling abilities, experiment with red tops, dresses, pants etc. Additionally mixing red with neutrals or denim can create a balanced and stylish look.
Styling Tips:
Create a monochromatic look: Try mixing different shades of red together!
Create a contrasting look: Pair a red with neutrals for a pop of color!
Play around with prints and patterns: If you are wanting to make a bold statement, look for patterns in red that are geometric or abstract. If you are looking for something a bit more subtle or muted, opt for patterns of red that are more delicate, floral, or hand embroidered.
Accessorize wisely: Use red accessories to add pops of color to a more subdued outfit.
Seasonal Transitions:
Red is a versatile color that can be worn throughout the year. Bright vibrant reds may be perfect for spring and summer, while deeper, richer tones can be embraced during the fall and winter months.
