reddressWhat’s the hue to DO now!? Why scarlet of course! Every season designers select at least one color that rul
es the runway and this fall is no different. Luckily for all of us the chosen shade is one which compliments ANY skin tone – revitalizing the fairest of the fair and highlighting the beauty of darker skin. C
hoose your red wisely though, in order to get the most tremendous Ta-DA — fair-skinned types should stick with blue-based reds, while darker tones will benefit from an orange tinge but could really get away with just about anything.
Wear your red however you like whether it be a frivolous frock, higher than high heels, a cuddled up coat, or even devestatingly daring denim. No matter what piece you choose you will rock this color trend to the max!
Need inspiration? I love a good ‘ole red dress to really up entrance drama. No one would be able to miss you sauntering into a chi-chi soiree in a hug-a-me tight crimson number and love me tender stilettos. I love the shape of this number featured right found on topshop.com due to it’
s versatile and universally-flattering shape and interesting beaded detailing on the short sleeves. Don this piece with black tights and a black suede bootie OR a flesh-toned open toe heel without hosiery.
If an all-red frock isn’t your speed try the on-trend menswear trouser in red as an
alternative. Keep the pants as the highlighted piece and pair with simple basics like a white blouse or tee, classic blazer or tailored wool coat, and a simple pump. I like the deeper colored red pair featured left found on zara.com.
Accessories are another great way to incorporate color into your reportoire. Whether you choose a bag or a pair of shoes you will jazz it up! I am keen on this flat clutch that also converts into a crossover bag in supple suede or these fab-oosh wedge ankle booties in merlot. Clutch available on topshop.com and booties at zara.com.
