Red dress

Another essential for any woman is the red cocktail dress. It's not as important as the must-have LBD (little black dress), but it's nonetheless an indispensable piece. With a red evening dress, you'll feel sassy, bold, alive, beautiful and little bit of naughty ;-)

It gives you almost everything you need to feel and look right for the occasion. And did you also know that the color red has been scientifically proven to elevate your self-confidence? Yup, it's definitely a must-own look-effortlessly-hot item!

Unlike most dresses, the red evening dress with high heel black pumps is the ultimate show-stoppers for any occasion. So if you're bored with the black cocktail dress, then go for red!

Red Dress and Lace Tights

The best length for a red dress is at the knee or shorter. It shows more of your legs and make you look taller and leaner. Calf-lengths are a bit tricky because they tend to overpower most body figures - not to mention that it tends to make petites look frumpy.

If you're on a budget and want to be able to wear the same dress multiple times for various occasions - then buy a red dress in a timeless style. Like for example a basic knee-length V-neck dress with short or three-quarter sleeves.

Securing a simple dress makes it easier for you to create various fashion looks with it! Use scarves, jewelry and shoes to reflect your personal style.

There are also several ways to accessorize this red-hot piece. However, I recommend you to go light on the extras as the color is already eye catching enough.

If you decide to go for the whole fashion look charade, try to imagine an outfit theme that you want to create with the dress. For example: Do you want to look glamorous? Classy? Bohemian?

For example if you're attending a semi-formal event - go classy and minimal on the accessories. But you can turn up the heat when you're out clubbing by adding the extra sparkles and trendy shoes.

Gold, black and silver. And they're excellent for adding interest and highlight the dress. With me, I always make sure that my jewelry is in solid metal. I might also throw in pearls or clear crystals to achieve a high-glam look.
