Women's Red Outfits

Q: What colours go with red?

Loads, which is red’s best-kept secret. Black is the classic (sexy, sharp, never wrong), white keeps it fresh and crisp, and gold or nude accessories make it feel elevated. Want something more directional? Red and pink is the it-combo right now, and red with brown, beige or denim is quietly chic. Basically, red isn’t as tricky as its reputation, it’s one of the most versatile colours you own.

Q: Which shoes go with a red outfit?

Depends on the mood, but you’ve got options. Nude heels lengthen the leg and keep the focus on the red, black heels or boots sharpen a red dress for night, and metallics bring the glam. White trainers or flats make a red outfit casual and cool for day. Feeling brave? Red shoes with a red outfit is a full-on power move. When in doubt, keep the shoe neutral and let the colour be the star.

Q: Is red a hard colour to pull off?

Nope, that’s a myth. There’s a red for everyone, it’s all about the shade: cool blue-reds like cherry and scarlet flatter cooler tones, warm reds like tomato and brick suit warmer ones. And you don’t have to go head-to-toe, a red bag , red lip or red shoe is the easiest way in (hello, unexpected red theory). Start small if you like, but fair warning, red has a way of becoming your favourite once you start.
