There’s a shade for absolutely everyone – the key is to go for a blue-based red if you have a cool undertone to your skin, or opt for a yellow-based shade if you are warm toned.
Dramatic Accents
Add a pop of drama with a little burst of red in an otherwise neutral outfit. This could be a crimson shoe teamed with the classic jeans and a white shirt, a bright scarf teamed with a navy trench coat or a statement bag that brings you joy in these cold winter months.
Don’t worry about being too matchy matchy, in fact, nothing will date you more quickly, instead, go for a more subtle second outfit accent to bring the look together, some subtle stitching, nail polish or jewellery in a similar tone will look chic.
Monochrome Madness
For maximum outfit impact, adopting a head to toe look in one single shade, makes for an unforgettable look. This Royally-approved style trick helped the Queen to stand out from the crowd and so will you.
A key advantage here is that you will look significantly taller (perhaps that’s why the Queen also adopted this) just make sure you are in your shade and you will literally glow.
Ground It With Brown
For a more sophisticated take on this colour trend, team fiery red with quieter, more sophisticated tones of brown. Camel, tan and caramel all harmonise beautifully for a more sophisticated look which particularly lends itself to workwear.

Colour Clash
For the ultimate fashion fix, why not team red with its analogous colours in the colour wheel and clash it? Red looks fabulous when worn alongside orange, purple, pink and yellow, it’s dopamine dressing for a guaranteed confidence boost.
Beat The Winter Blues
Red can look fresh when paired with its complementary colour on the colour wheel, blue. Whether worn with denim, a smart navy blazer or a soft baby blue knit, this is a zingy combination that will take you through Janua
