In the arsenal of every fashionista there are always several “shock” things that allow you to be the center of attention in any situation, feel fashionable and stylish. Among these things, a red bag is not just a necessary item in a woman’s wardrobe, but a fashion accessory that can create the mood of an image and complete the style.
When is a red bag appropriate in an outfit?
There is an opinion that only those with red hair and green eyes can afford red bags, but this is only partly true. In the modern variety of shades of this sunny color, from orange to cognac, any representative of the fair sex will be able to choose a suitable accessory for herself.
It looks most harmonious in autumn, repeating the shades of fallen leaves., however, such a handbag would be quite appropriate at any other time of the year:
- in summer, when bright accessories are dictated by the sunny mood;
- in winter, when there is so little bright color;
- in the spring, when you crave warmth unbearably.
What colors and materials does it go with?
The luxurious red color of the bag requires the same luxurious color solutions:
- the classic combination with black is one of the most harmonious: a black dress, complemented by a red clutch, acquires a touch of playful charm;
- the combination with blue looks rich and noble, so it is best to use it for festive events;
- beige color balances the catchy brightness of red, and as a result, soft romantic images arise based on this combination;
- gray color in all its variety of shades combines perfectly with shades of red: try wearing gray trousers in the shade of wet asphalt, a dark jacket, complementing your suit with a red handbag and feel how you are filled with restrained optimism and self-confidence;
- the bright yellow color of the sun is perfect for a summer look, which will be completed with a red accessory – such blinding splendor is simply necessary when you want to attract maximum attention: yellow shorts with a white T-shirt or a fitted short-sleeved shirt and a belt to match a fashionable handbag - success is guaranteed.
Important! Combinations of red with pink, lilac or crimson are very interesting, however, when choosing such calm shades, you should remember that the tone of the color of the handbag should also be restrained.
Like other bags, red ones are made in most cases from leather, natural or artificial - this material is the most practical and easy to care for. Special leather processing allows you to create suede, patent leather and embossed accessories, thereby expanding the possibilities for combining them within different styles.
Can it be combined with the same shade?
There is one rule in color combinations: a bright spot must be supported by another detail of the same shade.. Bag + gloves, + shoes (boots), + scarf, + belt – these are the usual combinations of accessories that never go out of fashion.
Don't forget about decorations: bracelets, earrings, beads, pendants, watches and brooches, which can perfectly act as partners for your handbag.
What clothes should you not wear it with?
It is difficult to say definitely which combinations are contraindicated for a red bag: probably, if the model and shade are chosen correctly, then there are no restrictions. However, there is one caveat to keep in mind: clothes in the same color scheme as a handbag may be quite appropriate if you plan to carry the accessory in your hand.
If the model involves wearing it on the shoulder or the bend of the elbow, the maximum that you can afford is clothing that is several tones different from the tone of the accessory.
Examples of sets with a red bag
- A light gray wrap skirt and a white long sleeve are “highlighted” by a bright red bag - perfect for an early summer morning on a free day.
- For walking around the city on a hot summer day, yellow trousers and a loose blouse with a print in gray and blue tones would be an excellent choice. Another bright point in the look, along with trousers, is an orange bag with a long shoulder strap.
- The combination of red and green is classic. A laconic mini dress with ¾ sleeves in a calm green shade is complemented by a bright combined bag and ankle boots to match. The look is completed by a watch and a soft belt tied at the waist, “diluting” the strict nobility of the style.
- An interesting youth combination: two shades of blue - classic denim and a dark blue coat, and two shades of red - ocher boots and a coral bag.The result is a dynamic image of a confident young city woman. To soften the contrast, you can wear a white or milky set of scarf and gloves.
- Beach option: black light floor-length skirt and white top. A bright accent is an orange-colored bag with metal decorative elements and a massive watch of the same metal. Such accessories add feminine sophistication and grace to the image, in which the apparent simplicity of clothing “dissolves”, creating a single harmonious ensemble.
