The latest color of the moment: a bright, bold red, as seen across the latest runways and perhaps more importantly, Rihanna’s color of choice on the Super Bowl stage. Although it can be an intimidating hue to style, it gives that very impression when worn. It radiates energy, confidence, and power, making the color the perfect option to turn to when your day is in need of a little boost. While you could easily invest in a sultry red dress and check the trend off your list, here are a few more ways to approach the look, from everyday to all dressed up.
☞ the everyday approach
The eye-catching color can still feel chill when paired with the classics: blue jeans and black accessories. Add a blazer for the office, then ditch it for drinks or date night.

☞ the elevated indie sleaze
The cool-girl way to wear the trend? If you can figure out a way to pull off red tights, you win. I’d pick a modern floral dress with a slit and sharp slingbacks.

☞ the desk to dinner approach
A red blazer will take you places this spring, whether you opt for a structured, oversized, or cut out version of the trend.

As promised, next month’s editions will be all about your wedding engagements — from bachelorettes to the big day. Leave a comment with all your upcoming destinations and dress codes, plus any other requests, so I can include some personalized picks just for you.
