Red is a colour that never goes out of season, goes well with neutral garments and adds a strong touch to seemingly simple outfits. In the holiday season, where there is always a party around the corner, the color acquires a special value, halfway between the symbology linked to the recurrences and the references of pop cultures that lead to channel a little 'Christmas spirit at any time of the day. Even if, as in "The Devil Wears Prada" the flowers for spring were pure avant-garde, wearing a red dress or accessory for Christmas might not seem the last frontier of avant-garde why not take advantage of the right time to show off a themed outfit? Whether it’s a party in the office, a secret-santa party with friends, a first date or a fateful lunch with relatives are the latest trends in materials, texture and finish to make it not trivial the choice of color in the heart of December. Here’s how to mix red or make it the protagonist of your look following the latest trends.
For those who do not want to give too much into the eye introduce the color in a subtle way is the solution. Opting for thick textures such as those of sweaters (braids or without) and tweed outerwear or with stitching you have a full-bodied and material effect, even for everyday impact. The simple suits in materials such as cotton wool and velvet in all shades of red are ideal to mix with items already present in the wardrobe, obtaining a result that echoes Christmas without being too explicit. The ideal is to combine red with neutral elements such as cream, sand and black for more formal situations, although the #Megryanfall has shown that the combination of the fiery shade with forest green is not bad, and the Scottish tartan is the historical proof, while pairing with pink is a more modern and definitely cooler idea as in Marni’s knitwear.
Adding instead accessories such as boots in red matte leather as the Tabi Boots of Maison Margiela, wide-knit scarves and why not even a touch of opaque red make-up to a Christmas outfit you walk the road of total red look, much in vogue lately and already seen on the catwalks of Fendi, and intended for those who have total confidence in the spotlight or simply love the nuance. If in mid-December you already feel Lindsay Lohan at the Christmas recital of Mean Girls, a red dress is the garment that deserves absolutely space between the colors of your wardrobe: the vinyl effect of red fire marries with sequins of the same color, as in the Moschino dress worn by Bella Hadid in 2017 with a deep neckline from which to copy the combination to be true queens of the holidays. Avant-garde brands like Tyrell propose a cut-out version of the wardrobe must-have, while The Attico and Mugler fit on the glam look for a party arrival with a guaranteed wow effect.
