A red dress is a staple in any women's wardrobe, it is the ultimate showstopper if you are wanting to make a statement at any event. The ultimate party dress, revenge dress, or professional get-up, a red dress screams confidence and lets everyone know that you mean business. When sporting a red dress, you want to make sure that your look is perfected right down to the smallest details. From your perfectly curled hair to the matching shade of red lipstick, this is a look that is not complete without some complementary jewellery pieces. Read on to learn how to accessorise a red dress.
Overview:
How To Accessorise A Red Dress: 2 Styles
Gold Jewellery + Neutral Colours
Red in itself is a bold colour that draws attention, meaning it’s best to pick neutral colours and tones, like metallic, gold, black, white or crystal-clear jewellery. These tones will work with almost any shade of red, whether you are rocking a deep burgundy or a bright red. The shiny lustre of yellow gold will make your look classy and traditional, rather than feeling too casual.
Simple gold jewellery like hoops and chains are perfect for a detailed dress, as it doesn’t take away from the garment. Subtle reflections of gold highlights will catch your audience’s eye.
If your dress is more simplistic, you could always incorporate gemstone jewellery. Try to steer clear from brightly coloured gems like amethyst and emerald. While beautiful, they tend to clash with the colour red. Instead, why not try a clear diamond for incredible sparkle, or the glitter of zirconia for a more affordable option!
