First scarlet lips made a comeback.
Then red was seen head to toe on the fall 2010 runways of
Chanel, Giorgio Armani, and Valentino.
Now the attention-getting shade is everywhere, from shoes and bags to dresses.
The trick is to pick the right pieces
(like the ones here or classics from your closet)
and to mix and match them in fresh ways.

Redheads...
There are no cardinal rules about redheads wearing red. But, generally, tomato and brick shades flatter hair that is copper toned, while raspberry and ruby complement auburn.

Black can make this intense color look harsh. Instead, try a more subtle neutral: camel. The soft tone mellows out red, so the overall look is rich and refined.

This high-energy duo takes advantage of two of the season’s most popular colors, but it can become garish if you’re not careful. Keep the outfit predominantly in one shade and add only one element—maybe two—of the other. Tone it down more by mixing in jeans or a gray cardigan.

Red has the power to transform a rich jewel tone into a neutral, creating an outfit with a regal feel. For a flattering look, sport the purple shade wherever you want to detract attention; use the red for your look-at-me spots.

Don't think you can wear red? Use it as an accessory color with your handbag, shoes, gloves, scarves, and jewelry. A little color goes a long way!
