Why Is Red the Most Brilliant Color Choice for Fall Fashion?

It’s time for the Barbie pinks of summer to mature to reds that can stop traffic. Focus on wearing red to get you in the mood for autumn. This color change will take your summer outfits to fall, even if they don’t include sweaters or cozy knits. The color is cozy itself, as fiery as the autumn leaves. But there’s more to it than that. I dove right in to explore why red is the most brilliant color choice for fall fashion.

Whether in clothing or jewelry, red has a cheerful effect to perk up your wardrobe and your mood.  It makes you stand out from the crowd. If you buy new pieces in this shade, it’s going to last because it is a forever classic. And so, age doesn’t matter.

Red Clothes

If you can score a faux leather item in red, it’s the hottest way to wear this color as the weather cools.

The foundations of your wardrobe — jackets, pants, skirts, dresses and knitwear — allow the intensity of this color to take center stage.

Wear red from head to toe if you want to stand out. And besides, you’ll look slimmer when you wear all one color. Choose different shades of red to help break the outfit up.

A red suit makes you stand out from the crowd. It’s bold, strong and powerful which is great for business.

7 Ways to Wear Red for Fall

1. Add a red topper of any sort over your favorite summer clothes.
2. If you are feeling really bold, wear red shoes, red trousers, and a red shirt. This outfit would be perfect for a fashion show or a trip to the city.^[1]
3. Wear a red dress if you want to create a classic and feminine look.
4. If you want a sexy and fun look, choose a fitted dress with a V-neck.
5. Create a formal look by wearing a grey or gold blazer over a deep red dress.
6. For a street look, wear a leather jacket over a red dress.
7. In the fall and winter, layer black leggings under your red dress. This creates a classy feel, so you can wear this for work or going out.

A statement piece of bold, red jewelry pairs especially well with all-black looks.

Red footwear and/or a red bag brightens a neutral outfit, whether you’re wearing:

• a basic white tee and jeans,
• monochromatic separates, or
• a solid-color dress.

Some Colors to Wear With Red

Wear red with:

• warm browns and orange red,
• yellow,
