Red is the New Black

Red is the most powerful color, and if you learn which shade fits you the best, and how to wear this amazing color, you can become a style queen. However, you have to be very careful with red, because you want to look sexy and classy, not like a bottle of ketchup. Here are five simple, yet chic ideas on how to wear red, and look fabulous.

Red never goes out of style, so you can brighten up any outfit with it. It goes well with almost every color, and let us not forget, the power of red lipstick, and nail polish. Here are five outfits with different amount of red color. Make sure you look confident, because red is all about making fashion statements.

Dressed To Kill

If you wear a red dress, or a jumpsuit, you need to tone it down with neutrals, or shades of black, or white. With gold details this combination looks expensive, and shoes with studs give the outfit a rock’n’roll note.

This is a great outfit for a friend’s wedding, or evening cocktail. It will make other women envy you, while men will look at you like you are the Queen.
