There’s something about red that demands attention, which is a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your mood. It’s loud, it’s bold and it’s kind of sultry at the same time. Color can be such a personal preference but one thing is for sure, red is having a moment this year. It’s a color I don’t instantly gravitate towards, but given the season and endless options out there right now, I’ve been falling for it a bit lately. Turns out there are a lot of ways you can play your red card.
1. A pop of red. Take a basic denim and neutral look and add a great red heel or mule, handbag or even something as subtle as cherry red nails. It’s a great way to ease into the trend if you’re looking to invest in it. I got this little wristlet bag (similar style in red here) by Zac Posen and I love how easy it is to pair with so many looks and how perfectly it fits just the essentials—phone, credit card and lip balm.
