Fashion Thursday: Red Alert

Zoomer | February 9th, 2012

In the words of Liza Minelli, “All a woman ever needs is red, white and black.” Red is probably one of the most daring colours you can don. When done right, this bold hue can lend a classic but sexy and fun edge like no other. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we couldn’t think of a more appropriate time to focus on this vibrant shade and the many ways you can wear it. Our only advice? To truly be fiery, wear it fearlessly.

If you are a little intimidated by this high-voltage hue, start small. Eternally trendy red lips are the perfect way to dress up any outfit. Red highlights throughout an outfit, whether in the form of a bag or shoe are also an easy way to make a statement no matter the dress code.

 

My Funny Valentine

Let’s face it, ladies and gentlemen. Basic blues can get pretty boring. Colourful jeans are one way to kick your wardrobe up a few notches. Play them up by pairing with neutrals or join in on the colour-blocking trend and pair with a solid coloured top in another colour.

 

Sitting Pretty

How amazing is this ankle showcase? We love the look of a red clad ankle, especially with a smart suit and dress shoe.

A great coat truly goes a long way. You can wear it on any occasion and for years and years. Since most of our outfit is covered up during the dreary winter months, why not keep the outside interesting with a bold pop of red? Make the sidewalk your runway!

 

Redday for the Holidays

Set your LBD aside for a night and go all in on this trend with a fabulous red dress. You will never feel more womanly, confident and sexy, but be prepared to be the centre of attention!
