Red color attracts, fascinates and emphasizes sexuality. It can be called a color that is timeless and out of fashion. Red is always relevant.
There’s just a problem - if you combine it incorrectly, you can either get lost against the background of your clothes or look vulgar. And we need a current and feminine image. Therefore, it’s worth remembering once and for all what colors go well with red in clothes, and what it’s better not to take risks with.
Combination with red
In order not to overdo it and turn a feminine image into a vulgar one, remember a few rules:
- One element rule: the red detail in the image can be presented in one part of the body - or outerwear, pants or trousers, clothing in the upper body. This amount of red is enough to make an accent and look stylish.
- The golden rule for combining colors in clothes: if you take 2 bright colors as a basis, the third should be neutral. It will smooth out the contrast, otherwise you risk looking too colorful.
Stylists equate red with the base color.It can be incorporated into an office look, on a date, to school and at a party. It looks harmonious in everyday life, especially well with jeans.
IMPORTANT! When wearing red clothes, be prepared for a lot of attention, because it is the most emotional color, and wherever you are, you automatically pay attention to it. The same will happen to those around you, whose attention you attract.
Classic combinations
Like all colors, scarlet also has combinations that have become classics.
IMPORTANT! If you are not ready to be the center of attention, but want to use red, make a look in neutral colors, and choose muted fiery colors for accessories, shoes or manicure with lipstick.
White. This is a good combination, but you should be careful with it. It definitely needs to be complemented with a third color if you don’t plan to create a festive look. It’s better to combine milky or creamy shades of white – they look more harmonious with warm red.
When wearing a suit in this color, jacket and trousers, lighten it up with a white T-shirt.
Complement this combination with black, beige, and gray colors.
Black. Classic of the genre black and red. The energetic ruby color becomes more restrained when combined with strict black. A black T-shirt is ideal for a fire suit.
The look looks elegant: black top, trousers and bag + red coat + pumps with leopard print. In this case, bright elements are smoothed out due to the predominance of black.
By pairing a black total look with scarlet shoes, you will get a strict and attractive look that is even suitable for work.
IMPORTANT! Be careful with miniskirts and this combination. Let it be black, and choose a fiery top, but as closed as possible.
Grey. With noble gray, all colors look chic and also noble.Gray mutes the energy and overt sexuality of red. This look becomes truly elegant and sophisticated. Pair a gray T-shirt with a ruby pencil skirt and you've got a go-to look. Make the whole look in shades of gray with a hint of blue, complement it with carrot shoes - and you will see a real lady in the mirror. And a white shirt + gray skirt + red shoes = a work look. Pair a gray dress with ruby shoes and go on a date - your legs will not go unnoticed.
Gold. The Oscar ceremony and Hollywood stars in red and gold dresses immediately appear. Of course, you don’t wear a red and gold dress every day, but by adding gold accessories to a scarlet dress - a handbag, a belt, jewelry, you will get a good look for a date, going to the cinema or a friendly party.
By the way, it may not be the dress that is red - create an image in neutral tones, add a ruby jacket and gold jewelry to it. You can wear this look even for a regular walk.
The most successful combinations
The beige color will calm the fervor of red and reveal its warmth and tenderness to the eye. Look for study or work: white shirt + beige jacket + black shoes + fiery carrot jeans or trousers. Comfortably combine fiery-colored jeans with a beige sweater.
With blue, the result is a clash of cold and warm shades. Such images are bright and dynamic. But so that the bow looks harmonious and does not hit the eyes, decide which color will predominate. Some should be the main one, and some should be additional.
IMPORTANT! Add a softening element in the form of a neutral shade - white, black or gray.
A brown color will go well with red. They both have warm undertones.The looks turn out stylish, if only because brown is a trend this season, bold and casual. The combination is not suitable for work - too bold.
What can't be combined with red?
What definitely cannot be combined with red clothes is massive jewelry with stones, scarlet lipstick, red accessories and manicure in the same color.
ADVICE! If you decide to create an image with a fiery tint and paint your lips with scarlet lipstick, let it be matte.
In general, you should be careful with jewelry - combine the abundance of red in your look with minimalist jewelry. And in some cases you can do without them.
Regarding accessories, it comes from the rule of one element, which is given above. This also includes makeup and manicure - they should be neutral, especially in a total look. In general, a red total look does not require unnecessary jewelry and bright makeup; makeup in nude shades would be ideal.
