Red Code

Queens !  this time around we come  with a very tough one. In fact a real nightmare for many of us.

I know for sure that one of the things you've always want to do is wear a red gown  , but never get down to doing it, as you feel it's too glaring and calls for lot attention. Yet, you cannot stop admiring a woman who does go about making a glam statement with her red dress. Ok let me make it clear to you , for the glaring and attractive part you can't avoid it. Now that we have said it , let's just take  few advices to add the chic touch that will make you stand out. 

Ladies already you know that wearing a red dress or gown is an art, anyone able to carry of that colour without looking like a tree needs to be applauded. Nothing looks more alluring than a red dress on a lady when matched with the right elements. 

The Do

1. Choose something tailored 

I hate to say it, but a red chiffon dress with ruffles or a plunging neckline or too flowy silhouette reminds me of only one thing: Flamenco dancers. You want to send a message that you're sophisticated, not slutty. Go for something with sharp lines and a fairly conservative cut,  to avoid looking too come-hither











2. Keep it light

Red is an undeniably powerful color, and it speaks volumes on its own. Cluttering up the look with a pile of necklaces or a loud printed scarf is a no-no. Follow Mrs. O's cue and wear one pretty piece of jewelry, like a simple bangle or a great pair of earrings.

The Don't

This section concerns particulary  beginners or ladies who are still shy about this color.

• Start small

If you are not used to wearing red, and feel safe in blacks and neutrals, begin including the colour red in small doses. For instance, try wearing a red blouse or  red shoes, or carry a red clutch with your neutral toned dress.

• Don't go red all over

If there's red on your dress, don't go and splash red make-up on your face or nails. If you have to, either wear a crimson hue on your lips or nails, but not at the same time.

• Stay classic

If you are planning to pick a red dress, opt for a classic cut that does not reveal much. You could choose to wear a slinky long gown, or hanky hemmed dress or sleek jumpsuit gown, but keep it tantalisingly sexy without showing too much cleavage or any such revealing cuts. Keep jewellery minimal that is either an elegant piece of necklace or chandelier earrings.

• Shoe wise

If you are thinking of reaching out for those red pumps from your shoe rack to wear with your red dress, don't! Instead opt for black or even animal prints, as they work very well with red dress or gown. 

• Keep off the bright

Don't ever try to mix and match your red coloured outfit with bright colours like yellow or green. That's the biggest blunder you'll ever commit as you could just end up looking like a Christmas tree at a fancy dress competition.

Ok Queens, now that we have said it all just rock the Code!
