Remember how in Gone with the Wind Rhett Butler won the favor of Mammy, Scarlett’s faithful servant and teacher (Mammy couldn’t stand him)? He gave her a red skirt! If even an elderly African-American woman with excess weight and a lot of life experience could not resist the charm of this piece of clothing, then a modern lady of any age who wants to look fashionable and bright is simply obliged to experiment with it!
What to combine and wear with a red skirt
This is a thing with character: if you wear it in the wrong color or stylistic combination with other clothes and even accessories, it will turn your outfit into a cheap, pretentious or tasteless, flashy one. After all, this is a very noticeable thing, it will definitely attract the eyes of others to the owner - and any absurdity, any flaw in the outfit will be visible, as if in the light of a spotlight!
The red skirt creates such a bright accent that the rest of the clothes and accessories should only complement it - there will be enough attention to you already, so give up rhinestones and sequins, transparent fabrics for the top and deep neckline, makeup in the style of “Sioux Indian on the warpath” and an abundance of jewelry - all this will turn you not into a stylish lady, but into a city crazy.
What colors can you wear with:
With black. This is already a real classic, and it never goes out of style. With a midi, wear a jacket and a black blouse for a bright and practical look for everyday life;
With white. Blouses and shirts will look great with any skirt length; these are elegant and unusual clothes for work. The brightness is offset by unobtrusive white;
Spectacular options are white and black stripes and polka dots (but not plaid - it will already “overload”). A wonderful look is achieved with a vest blouse;
Deep, noble tones of red (wine, burgundy) harmonize perfectly with gray and beige. These tones soften the brightness and make the appearance elegant - therefore they are suitable for both the street and the office;
Another stylish everyday look, suitable for active girls, is a combination with blue and light blue denim. A denim shirt and jacket go well with such a skirt in a playful and elegant way;
What about bright colors? And it is possible. But this, of course, is not an office or evening combination - rather a casual one that looks natural in the summer. It is desirable that the skirt be light, “flying”, perhaps even asymmetrical;
Leopard and other “animal” prints can also be worn - but keep in mind: such a look requires impeccable taste and does not tolerate excess, otherwise it will come out colorful and “collective farm-like”.
Important! About prints on outerwear: are they acceptable? Of course, a young girl in a T-shirt with a print and a mini looks cute and fun, but this combination is not recommended for older ladiesI, except for some thematic event - a rock concert, festival, convention.
Creating fashionable looks with a red skirt
Fashionistas who love to make a bright impression can rejoice: it is expected that in 2019 and even in 2020, red will be in trend, with all shades - from the most delicate coral to deep burgundy, pink, raspberry, carrot shades are relevant.
For office looks, the midi is excellent - pencil and sun models will look impressive and appropriate (but we wear a plain top with it).
For evening outings:
elegant, in the style of the year, which is a kind of cross between a pencil and a flared one (it looks very feminine, but the color will give you a nature prone to violent passions if you choose a bright shade);
Vairy and slightly frivolous, airy - or, conversely, monumental, long, flowing - in the Empire style. All shadeAnd will help you withthief unforgettableOuch, but don’t overdo it with “greatness”, after all this the color is very vital, you don’t want to resemble the bride of Count Dracula who rose from the grave?
For the street, fashion designers advise choosing models:
fitted and curvy;
with A-line silhouette;
TThere was also a stunning red leather mini running down the catwalk.
Important! To avoid looking cheap and vulgar in a leather mini, avoid products with metal fittings (rivets, chains, buckles, decorative zippers and other trinkets).
How to choose accessories and shoes for a red skirt
Do not overuse decorations - one or two details that match the style and color scheme are enough.
There are almost no restrictions on shoes:
heeled shoes are ideal for almost every model and are suitable for any occasion - both in society, in the office, and for an informal meeting with friends;
if you like a wedge heel, choose a more elegant option;
ballet flats, sneakers, sneakers and sandals can also perfectly suit models of certain youth styles - this option is loved by young girls who love an active life and spend the day in active movements, and their holidays traveling;
Ankle boots look good and elegant in this case.
Important! Be careful with ankle boots, and even more careful with high boots. If they are still suitable for mini, then with midi and maxi they give you excessive rusticity, or even something gypsy.
The main principles of choosing shoes:
if the shoes are the same color, it is desirable that they match the shade of the skirt as closely as possible, otherwise it will look tasteless;
laconic design. The more restrained it is, the more elegant it is.
How to choose a bag? Ideal options are a clutch and a small frame handbag. A city backpack will organically fit into the street style.
The color of the bag should be matched to the top, accessories or shoes. If you really want a red bag, let it be a baguette carried under your arm.
