How to Make the Color Red Work For You

You see, there are warm reds and cool reds.
Know yourself.
Do you look good in black and royal blue? Then you would look best in the
cool reds and the true reds. That means choose a pure red or strong red with
a bluish tinge. You can wear burgundy well too.
If you look better in pale blues and grays, then a softer, but cool red
would be more flattering. Cut a watermelon open and look at that shade of
red. This watermelon red is a soft cool red that suits you. Pick reds like
these.
If you look better in peach or orange than you do in black and royal blue,
then you would look fabulous in a warm red. A red with warmer tones. Look at
a ripe tomato. That is the shade of red that suits you best.
If you look best in browns, then go for a brownish red. A red with brownish
tones. A brick red would suit you well too. As would the color of red earth.
Once you know your red, you can start building a red wardrobe. You can base
your wardrobe on red. Doesn't have to be that exact shade of red but
somewhere like it.
A cooler pinkier red for those with cool skin tones. The ones who look good
in blue and black.
A warmer, orangier red for those with warm skin tones, who look good in
peach, brown or orange.
Now that you have your red, pick some other colors that would go with red
and with your skin tone.
If you have warm skin tones, consider getting gold, beige and browns as
neutrals to go with your red clothing. Animal prints, in natural animal fur
colors go beautifully with red too. Some black would work too as black and
red go beautifully together.
