"There is a shade of red for every woman..." - Audrey Hepburn
how to wear red from head to toe
If you’ve been following along with me on instagram, then you know by now that I tend to go all out when I’m wearing red. But, I know that wearing this fiery color can be slightly intimidating… The color red is said to exude and evoke emotions like power, energy, confidence, and best of all: love. Personally, I think red is such a flattering color for every skin tone and makes you standout in any crowd. So, why not just go all out, right?! From the best shade of red lipstick, to the perfect red shoes, I’m sharing tips on how to wear red from head to toe, so you can start rocking your red look, too!
Shop the look:
go bold but break it up a bit
Texture and contrast are key when aiming for an *almost* monochromatic look, or styling tone-on-tone. Play with various textures and layers, like this red boiled wool coat from J.Crew, paired with this red leather handbag to build onto the look you’re going for. Then, try breaking up the hues a bit by adding contrast with another shade of red or by introducing a different color altogether, like these white skinny jeans. This will ensure to keep your look bold, but still cohesive and polished.

accessorizing is key... isn't it always?
If you love just a pop of red and you’re not quite ready to commit to wearing red from head to toe, try starting small. Work in red accessories, jewelry or, my personal favorite: red lipstick. My favorite red lipstick is ‘Russian Red’ or ‘Ruby Woo’ from MAC–stays on all day and packs a huge punch to any look!
