20 Ways to Wear Red Pants That Will Make You Stand Out

A long time ago, I ordered a red pantsuit but the jacket didn’t fit.  I wondered whether to keep just the pants and my sister said, “Who needs red pants?”  But I didn’t send them back, and I’m glad I still have them.  They add a pop of color to your wardrobe and are good for festive occasions.  If we don’t need them, we still delight in them.  Age doesn’t matter.  But in order to make red pants really useful, you need to stretch your imagination and pair them with pieces that you wouldn’t normally think of.  So in the spirit of helping you to make them as versatile as possible, I have found 20 ways to wear red pants that will make you stand out!

Red pants or skirts go well with gray, black, navy, white, brown, mint or teal footwear.  Of course, red shoes or boots would be a good match!
