Nothing quite says “I’ve arrived” like a red hot dress. Just ask Jessica Rabbit. But what is it about the colour that revs our engines? And why was there so much of it in the fall fashion shows? You honestly could not miss it.
Well, apart from being the colour of love, red represents power, anger, rage, intense passion, and courage, to name a few. And with the current global political climate, designers injected high doses of the hue into their collections as an unmistakable call to action.

From Jason Wu to Victoria Beckham, the past season’s reds were incredibly bold, with models decked out in crimson from head-to-toe.

A good place to start is with your accessories. Just a pop of tomato red in the form of a sneaker or a handbag is enough to turn heads for all the right reasons. Or, If you’re feeling bold, opt for a knit and a skirt in two different tones of red, as seen at Max Mara, to give your ensemble dimension, or pair a red dress with a neutral boot in a cream or brown, or strappy black heels like these from Sissy Boy that really pack a punch when walking your heels down the runway..
