How to accessorize a red dress?
What jacket with a red dress?
It all depends on the style of your ruby dress, of course. But two timeless classics are sure values that will accompany your superb dress as well as all your other outfits: the beige trench coat and the black blazer jacket.If you're looking for contrast, opt for a black leather perfecto.

Nail polish and red dress
Unless you find exactly the same shade of nail polish as your scarlet dress, it’s better to avoid red nail polish: fashion faux pas guaranteed. On the other hand, a nude manicure with beige or pink nail polish is the height of good taste. Rockers will love the black or anthracite gray varnish, to match the leather perfecto or the shoes.
What shoes to wear with a red dress?
For a cocktail or a chic festive event, accessorize your red dress with nude pumps or beige heeled sandals to lengthen your legs. Metallic shades like silver, gold and copper are great alternatives, but in this case, your jewelry should match the color of your shoes.
On vacation or at the beach, have fun with flat or heeled sandals in camel, nude and even colorful tones. Avoid white (cheap) and black (too serious).
At the office or in streetwear, you can pair your ruby dress with pretty white sneakers for a quirky effect, black or camel flat or heeled ankle boots or chic sandals in the same color in the summer. A bag in the same tones will complete your outfit with class.
What bag to wear with a red dress?
White, beige, gray or black: so many timeless colors that perfectly complement a strong color such as red.For a festive occasion, your neutral colored bag can be adorned with lace, pearls or sequins for added glamour.
Do you like to stand out? Opt for a colorful bag in a color other than red: electric blue, emerald green, canary yellow. Adopt the offbeat look even in your choice of shoes and your makeup. But be careful: this style must be mastered carefully so as not to turn yourself into a scarecrow in the middle of a carnival.
In everyday life, the minimalist bag in brown or black leather is a must have. The streetwear look will happily adopt a small backpack, while a natural fiber basket or a large cotton lace bag will hold all your belongings for the beach or vacation.

Can you wear a red dress to a wedding?
Red wedding guest dress
You can naturally wear a red dress to a wedding, especially if you have a leading role such as the mother of the bride, her sister, her best man or her maid of honor. To avoid drawing all eyes on you (it's the bride and groom's day, after all), think of burgundy red or coral red, very chic and more sober than scarlet red, while remaining cheerful and the warmth of red.

As for the style of dress, avoid plunging necklines and very sophisticated dresses with draping, ruffles or even frills (to be reserved for the bride). Favor the bustier, the Bardot or boat neck and a relatively sober style for the bottom of the dress which, for once is not customary, can go down to the feet. To be comfortable while dancing, opt for a dress that is loose and light from the knees down or short (just above the knees but not shorter).
If your shapes are generous, it is better to avoid shiny materials like silk or satin which mark the slightest relief of shadow and light which are not always well placed.
Red wedding dress
Astonishing, surprising, flamboyant, the red wedding dress breaks with tradition in favor of a declaration of love for Love. Treat yourself to a strapless or empire waist wedding dress, with lace, draping or even ruffles on the skirt.

To be comfortable in all circumstances, from the ceremony to the ball, avoid a sheath dress which considerably reduces your movements and keeps you very warm. Think volume, lightness and why not, asymmetry (short at the front below the knees and long at the back).
Red dress: you know everything! Have fun.
Casual red dress or red wedding dress, red dress at the beach or at the office, you now know that the beautiful red dress adapts to your body shape in all circumstances.
Treat yourself with fashion in a red dress!
