When I think of a red dress, I think of Jessica Rabbit. Red dresses scream sexy and vibrant. They can also tell other people that you’re hard to get. They are timeless and icons of sex, power, and privilege. Red is also one of the best trend colors of 2012. Slipping into a red dress will instantly give you confidence and make you stand out from the crowd. Every woman should have a perfect red dress in their wardrobe, no questions asked. There are some tricks to remember when trying to pull off the perfect red dress, so read up and get ready to shop!
I love a long, to the floor red dress with a spaghetti strapped plunging neckline that bears almost too much cleavage. This is timeless sexy and looks best in red. You can pull this off if you’ve got small breasts, or even large breasts. In fact, one of the sexiest things about plunging necklines is, if you’re small chested, you can get away with a lower cut. It’s an amazing and daring look, perfect for red dresses.

Red is a tricky color to pull off for a lot of reasons. Red is a warm color, but it’s hue can be changed to suit cooler complexions or neutral complexions too. If you don’t choose the right hue of red, you can look overheated and hot (in a bad way), or you can look washed out and unhealthy. So, how do you tell the difference and what red looks best on you? If you have a warmer complexion- that is if you have pink overtones in your skin and hair, you have a warm complexion. Choose a red that has more purple and pink in it. If you have a cool complexion, like having olive skin with yellow or green overtones, choose a red that has a more orange or yellow hue. If you’re not sure, do your best to find the clearest, truest red color you can. A general rule of thumb- most people have warmer or neutral skin tones, so most likely you’re going to look best in a red that has purple and pink overtones.

If you’re choosing a sexy red dress, style your hair accordingly. Sexy, in my opinion, should also suggest, in a clean way, that you’ve either just had sex or that you want to have sex. This can mean that you style your hair in a loose, down wavy style that’s a little messy. If you wear an updo, it should be a little chunky and messy. Accessories, like black and white simple ones, can be layered on each other. Paired with a pair of black heels, and you’re set.

A good red dress will look great on anyone. Take the time to hammer out the details, and you’ll pull one off expertly and scream sexy when you wear it.
