This holiday season, let’s paint the town red! Red, a color synonymous with festivities, isn’t just for Christmas décor; it’s a wardrobe staple that brings a year-round flair, especially dazzling in December.
Wondering how to infuse this daring hue into your holiday attire? Whether it’s a lively party or a cozy family gathering, we’ve got tips to either amplify or subtly incorporate rich reds into your look.
Red doesn’t just stand out; it empowers. Its energizing effect is undeniable. Mix and match textures like silk, cashmere, leather, and velvet to add layers and depth to your ensemble. Designers like Valentino, Brandon Maxwell, and Victoria Beckham lead the charge, offering fresh, polished takes on this classic color, suitable for both professional and leisure settings.
Picture this: strolling down the streets, turning heads in candy cane red. The holidays are a once-a-year spectacle, so why not go all out? For daytime soirees, think thick knits or sleek suits in crimson. And when the sun sets, it’s time for glitz and glamour – think metallics, rhinestones, and sequins.
For a chic twist, pair bold reds with crisp whites. Streetstyle tastemakers are loving this combo, blending shades like scarlet, crimson, and poppy with sharp white pieces. This pairing also brings a touch of sporty luxury, especially when accented with a striped detail or paired with athletic trousers.
But why stop at clothes? Your red rendezvous can extend to makeup too. A swipe of red eye shadow, maybe with a sprinkle of glitter, is a showstopper. Or, opt for the timeless holiday classic.
