Forget the little black dress, it's a great red dress you want in your wardrobe for those unexpected special occasions.
Red remains this year's hottest colour and it's still the number one choice for a head-turning outfit. You will find a selection of gorgeous red dresses on the high street right now, so it's the perfect time to invest.
Which Style?
This will depend on your personality as well as your body shape. Red is such a bold colour that a simple piece can look amazing with the right accessories. On the other hand, you might want an opulent dress in luxurious fabrics with gorgeous details. It's all down to your personal taste.
And what suits you of course. With the help of Colour Me Beautiful image consultants we have some tips for you.
Classic Personality
You prefer traditional and understated looks. A simple jersey, shift or tea dress (depending on your body shape) with a little detail would be a good staple for you.
Dramatic Personality
You like to create striking looks with the latest fashions and you are not afraid to stand out. Red sequins are a look you could try.
Romantic Personality
You like pretty, feminine fabrics and detail. Floor length and floaty chiffon or delicate lace is perfect for you.
City Chic Personality
You follow trends rather than street fashion. You like to coordinate and look immaculate at all times. With your fabulous sense of style, you could take a simple dress make it look ultra-chic by accessorising it to your liking.
Creative Personality
You like unusual finds and mixing up pieces to create your own look. You might find a vintage piece, or combine different fabrics and pattern.
Natural Personality
You're not a huge fan of dressing up and are happiest in jeans and comfortable clothes. If you have to wear a dress you want it to be unfussy and comfy! Jersey fabric is easy to wear and because it is a great red dress, you don't need bold accessories to make it look fantastic.
And the perfect lipstick
If you are wearing red lipstick with your great new dress you must get the lip colour just right.
As you will have chosen the right shade of red dress for your colouring (naturally!) you need a lipstick colour close to that or a just a shade lighter. You don't want the lips to clash with your dress, you want a colour that complements your dress.
Alternatively, if you are going for bold eye make-up then your lip colour should be very pale or nude.
