How to Wear Red Pants

Do you see red? And I don’t mean when you are angry. My eyes immediately gravitate to this color previously reserved for royalty. In my corporate years I owned a killer two-piece red suit that I wore with utmost confidence. Today I own a stunning red wool coat, red tops for multiple occasions, a red-leather work tote, and of course a red snakeskin embossed bag for that necessary pop of color.Recently Kiskadee received red Just Black jeans. Then I questioned why have I never owned red pants?! To be honest, they scared me. What do I pair with them? I was not afraid to wear a red suit in Washington, D.C., yet wearing red pants terrified me.So I Googled “what colors go with red?” According to the internet, the colors black, brown, gray, blue, pink, white, and any combo there of such as leopard print. What did I learn?Red is a neutral. I think I knew that all along! 

This silky top by Maven flaunts texture with its not-to-shear look and its on point frayed neckline, hemline, and sleeves.

 

An easy way to elevate any jean is with a graphic top. This uber comfy camo top by David Cline does the trick. It also has a subtle crinkle texture that is a terrific juxtaposition for the smooth red of the pants.

 

Wearing red with pastels works! Wilt’s cantaloupe colored sweatshirt harkens beautiful inspired sunsets in the warmer months to come.

 

Don’t forget Valentine’s Day! Red denim with a velvet Parker bodysuit adorned with crystals?? Yassssss!

 The only way to wear red is with confidence. So, what is stopping you??
