Accessorise A Red Dress Like A Pro

i know the thought of wearing a red dress can be quite daunting to some. indeed, it takes a special kind of confidence to don such a striking colour. but although it can be a challenge to pull off, red is a true favourite for many; not only for festive wear, but for many other occasions throughout the year. it also continues to be among the most popular prom and homecoming dress colours, which says a lot, don’t you think?

red dresses are typically thought of as having sultry and sexy appeal, and for good reason. red is alluring, sophisticated, and head-turning — perfect for anyone who loves to stand out. it is a great colour choice for anyone wanting to look particularly resplendent in formal wear, as red hues are quite complimentary for those with caramel, mocha, or porcelain skin tones.

if you have a prom or homecoming dance coming up, i recommend checking out red homecoming dresses in online boutiques and physical stores. once you find your perfect LRD (little red dress), try to follow these tips for accessorising a red dress like a pro:

 

JEWELLERY

since this bold-coloured dress is already such a statement piece, you don’t need a lot of other trimmings to catch — and hold — everyone’s attention. keep your accessories simple and understated. with jewellery, you can choose pieces that feature red gemstones, such as rubies and garnets, or swarovski crystals in deep red.

you can also go for the ultimate sparklers and wear your diamonds. a simple diamond pendant with stud earrings adds a touch of glamour without competing with your bold look.

simple gold and silver trinkets are sweet, sensible choices, too. if you are wearing silver jewellery, try pairing it with some matching metallic footwear for a beautifully put together look.

 

SHOES

when asked what colour of shoes should you wear with a red dress, many would immediately think of black high heels. they are a classic and elegant choice after all, and many of us already own a pair in our closets.

another fool-proof solution is nude pumps, which are particularly great with a red dress for a daytime event. shades that are close to your skin tone, especially beige, are dainty and very pleasing to the eye.

for evening affairs, metallic shoes such as gold or silver, work splendidly. add even more pizzazz with some glittery footwear — you’ll be the star of the night!

if you are looking to turn even more heads, try pairing your red dress with bright-coloured footwear, like royal blue. it’s not for the faint of heart, but certainly fun! a pale, dusty pink goes prettily with red, too.

 

BAGS

when selecting the perfect handbag to go with your red dress, you need only follow your choice of footwear. match your nude pumps with a similar coloured purse for daytime wear, and go for black or metallics for evening looks. easy-peasy!

 

COSMETICS

a few other bits n’ bobs to consider when wearing a red dress: nail polish colour, eye make-up, lipstick shade. for any of these, the safest bet is to go the simple-and-understated route. subtle skin tone-coloured nails, light make-up with wispy lashes, flattering nude lips.

but you can also go bold, either by creating contrast (shiny black nails, a graphic cateye flick) or by complementing your red dress with a similar vivid shade of lipstick. i love doing the latter, even with casual looks. it really brightens up my day!
