The end of the retail holiday season is nigh, with Valentine’s Day approaching. Because Chinese New Year normally falls close to Valentine’s Day, this time of season is generally opportune to find those tricky red pieces to add to your wardrobe.
While red is a loud colour for a workwear wardrobe, it has its time and place. But because the colour can be quite brash, you want to select your reds carefully.
A red blazer with matching pants absolutely make a statement. Contrary to popular opinion though, a red suit won’t come off as too bold… if it is downplayed with plain more neutral coloured shirt. Alternatively this downplaying effect can be accomplished with simpler accessories (in this case, this 1901 blazer has striped cuffs that soften the red) or shoes without details.
On the flip side, for a bit of fun, red is unrivalled for statement pieces like this Rachel Parcell faux shearling shawl.
How do you choose red pieces for your wardrobe?
