Now let's think on how to Accessorize a Red Dress
Think Monochromatic
1
bring in black belt. Best kind would be one of the stretchy ones so it doesn't look like the belt should go on pants. Belts definitely classy the dress and show off the good curves.
2
Mix in different shades of red. A bright red can look overwhelming if you use it in every part of your outfit. Instead, use different shades of red to create contrast while staying within an all-red color scheme.
3
Try a burgundy red heel or flat. This shade is deep enough to mimic the classic look of black, but offers a subtle hint of color to your feet.
4
Keep things bright with a patent leather pump. If you have a bold personality, opt for a bold shoe. Shiny patent leather adds a trace of shimmer to your foot, which may prevent your red shoe from being obscured by your red dress.
5
Look for jewelry with red gemstones. Think rubies or garnets. Gunmetal settings create a tough look, while silver and gold settings have classic appeal.
6
Consider rings, earrings, and bracelets over necklaces. Post earrings, bracelets, and rings do not overlap with your dress and can be admired on their own. Necklaces and long dangle earrings may brush your dress, and the red stones may blend in with the red fabric.
7
Carry a small purse. Even though you can have an ensemble with multiple red pieces, you should still keep things toned down. A large red bag may wash you out with too much red. Instead, go for a small red clutch, especially one in a shade that varies from your dress.
8
Keep your accessories subdued. Too many red accessories can confuse the eye. Restrict your jewelry to one or two small pieces, and avoid any accessory that looks unnecessarily large.
Create a Twist with Other Colors
1
Think pink. In essence, pink is a light red. Not every shade of pink will match with every shade of red, so you should carefully examine compare a pink accessory before wearing it with your red dress.
2
Be the life of the party with primary colors. Carry a handbag with red, yellow, and blue running through it, and match it with blue shoes or simple yellow earrings. Keep your accessories small and low-key to achieve a funky style without looking too busy.
3
Look for patterns that include red in them. This works especially well if the shade of red matches the shade of your dress. Wear a scarf with red and violet stripes, or a sash with an abstract print in red and orange.
4
Go for an Americana theme. For a Memorial Day picnic or 4th of July barbeque, tie a navy blue belt around a red sundress. Match it with white sandals and white earrings or novelty flag earrings.
5
Save the green for Christmas time. A red sweater dress can matched with deep green pumps can create a fun, seasonal look for the holiday season, but may not work well otherwise since many automatically associate a red-and-green color scheme with Christmas.
6
Opt for deep shades over bright shades. Deep shades add color without looking too flashy. Bright colors may compete with a bright red dress, resulting in a tacky look.
Glitz It Up
1
Add a simple hint of glamour to your dress with solid silver or gold. Metallics often have enough shine to look elegant on their own. Add shimmer to your neck or wrist with a simple chain, and look for a metallic shoe and handbag to tie your look together.
2
Go for a two-toned look. While silver and gold can be used separately for a red dress, mixing the two together can create a look that is both visually interesting and classy. Look for two-toned jewelry, or create the look yourself by layering thick gold and silver necklaces around your neck. Follow through by matching a silver chain belt with a gold shoe.
3
Maximize your glitz and glamour with diamonds. Wear just enough diamonds to add sparkle to your ensemble without competing with your bold red dress. Pair simple diamond stud earrings with a delicate diamond pendant, or wear showcase diamond chandelier earrings and skip the rest of your jewelry altogether.
P.S. I've read this somewhere in the internet "Want to get a boyfreand? Wear red and avoid yellow". Not sure about how truthful the fact is, but "hey there my sweet single ladies - Red on!!!"
