You know what’s funny? Up until recently I avoided red like the plague. I know that might sound strange given how often I’ve been wearing red recently and how a lot of people say red is a great color on blondes. But I never thought I could pull it off. I have gotten a bit blonder lately (lol), and growing up, I had a lot of skin issues (acne mainly) and I was shy and insecure. I blushed all the time and my face was often red from all the harsh acne treatments I tried, so I avoided wearing anything that made me look any more red. But even as an adult, I historically avoided red. Maybe it’s the undertones of red and pink in my skin, maybe it’s that I don’t like to stand out and draw so much attention with my outfit (in such an obvious way — obvs, I want everyone to be obsessed with what I’m wearing but I never want my outfit to let everyone know that). I also think that for a long time I never really felt confident or wanted to stand out (I know, that’s a funny thing considering my profession as Editor in Chief of a magazine and now influencer but idk, I’m a complicated being), and red definitely makes a statement. Whatever it was, it wasn’t until recently that I started to really appreciate red and wear it, and I can’t believe I didn’t embrace it sooner. Since red is trending right now, I thought I’d put together some red outfit ideas.
Now you don’t just need to be a blonde to pull off this fiery hue. It looks great with darker hair too and a range of complexions. I believe you should wear whatever makes you feel good and not what people dictate is best for your coloring or body etc., but I will say that red is incredibly flatter but somehow gets a bad rap. It’s sexy, powerful, classic, elegant and even a bit trashy all at once. Basically it’s the definition of a secret color weapon. And red is really big right now, and ever since I dipped my toes into the red world with a crimson Christmas dresses, I haven’t gone back. I love a red dress, sweater, or top, and really feeling red outfit ideas right now. Red is a classic, for sure, but it feels so much more fresh this season, and yet, like a red lipstick, it instantly makes you look chic and polished. Here are red outfit ideas I’m loving right now.
