How to Spice Up Your Wardrobe by Adding a Little Pop of Red To Your Outfits

This post is all about finding easy, effortless yet cute ways to add a pop of red to your outfits.

Oh, red is having its moment right now! But that statement begs the question, when has it ever not been having its moment, eh?! We’ve all always loved the color red in fashion but it seems like lately that love has soared to new heights!

So we all know the color red is bright, passionate, bold. It can represent a lot of things like romance, fire, sexiness, and a little bit of danger. In fashion, the color red can be a bold choice. It makes you stand out and if you own it, you become this embodiment of like confidence and sexiness.

One of this years latest (and hottest) trend is the pop of red trend. It’s a fun way to style your outfits with a bold red element.

Obviously the color red has so many different shades and variations and each one will invoke a different tone or feeling to your outfit. For example bright cherry reds will give you that confident, bold look depending on how you style it (think of something like a bright red long evening gown, a dress like that would be sexy, bold and would out!).

Darker, more burgundy shades of red would bring this feeling of elegance, maybe even a little romance to any look. These deeper shades of reds don’t stand out as much out and because of that they are definitely easier to wear and style. Burgundy red is a great way to add color to a look in an understated way.

How to Spice up your wardrobe by adding a Little Pop of Red To Your OUTFITS

With a Bright Scarf

Honestly a red scarf is such an easy way to add that pop of color you are looking for without too much effort. the beauty about a red scarf is how you could probably throw it over any outfit and instantly have an iconic look. It’s the kind of thing you throw on that is effortless but is eye-catchy and trendy.

And speaking of trendy, a super cool and popular way to style the red scarf look is with a pair of red socks for whatever shoes you choose to style your outfit with but they gotta be long enough to peek through. If you don’t want to go the red socks route, then another nice way to tie in the look is with some red shoes (like those red adidas that have been trending lately!)

With a Bow

Just like the red scarf, a red hair bow is another super easy to add that pop of color to your look! A bow is super cute and easy and a great way to add red unto your outfit. You want to pick bright shades of red for this look for that extra pop of color, you don’t want something that will just blend into your hair, after all that would defeat the entire purpose of the look.
