Red maxi dresses

A red maxi dress is the boldest, most confident thing you can wear, and it never goes unnoticed. Red is the colour of making an entrance: striking, warm and a little bit powerful, with a shade for every mood, from bright cherry and true red to deep wine, burgundy and dark red. It flatters, it photographs vividly, and it always looks like you meant it. You will find it here in everything from an easy linen for the day to a long sleeve style for cooler nights. 

The colour that makes an entrance

Red is the dress you wear when you want to be seen. There is a reason "lady in red" is a thing: it is impossible to ignore, in the best way. A red maxi is made for the moments you want to feel your most confident, a milestone birthday, a dinner out, a concert, a festive party, or Lunar New Year, where red is also the colour of luck. Because the colour is already doing so much, the styling is the easy part: let red be the whole statement and keep everything around it simple. A party style works for a big night, a leather jacket thrown over the top adds an edge for something more casual, and one strong accessory, like a gold cuff or a bold red lip, is all you need. Less really is more with red.

Bright cherry or deep wine?

Red splits into two camps. Bright cherry, true and classic red are vivid and fun, the proper showstoppers. Deep wine, burgundy and dark red are richer and more grown-up, gorgeous for autumn and for evening events. Fabric changes the mood too: a lace red maxi feels romantic and a little daring, a strapless or halter cut is all confidence for summer, and a satin or floral version softens things for daytime. Red also plays well with other colours: red and white is crisp and almost nautical, while pink and red, once a fashion rule-breaker, now looks fresh and modern together.
