Did you know that the color red exudes confidence, energy, and passion? Have you ever wondered why stop signs and stop lights are the color red? I don’t have that many red clothing items in my closet, I’ve always avoided them because I felt that red is such a bold color. But I’m starting to reconsider that. Research shows that the color red can give us vibes of enthusiasm, empowerment, spontaneity, and even increase our appetite. The color red also gives off an atmosphere of danger and violence. Red is easily seen and catches our attention which is why red is the color used in many warning signs.
That being said, what about wearing the color red? If you want to wear the color red, what do you pair it with? Well if you’re like me, you’d look for a more calmer color like white or beige. Although I’ve seen red paired with various shades of blue, pink, and yellow, and that’s fine too! Other alternatives to white are denim, tan, and stripes.
I like the color white with red because you can pair it with other colors like, black, grey, and leopard print (my favorite!). Below is an example of a basic red and white outfit.
Now let’s mix somethings up. I love adding accessories and other clothing essentials to my outfits, it makes them so much more fun. When wearing red and white you can thrown in leopard print flats or a leopard print scarf, a black or grey cardigan, a tan blazer, or a denim blouse. Check out some of the ways I spiced up my red and white outfits.
Whether you wear it plain or dress it up, the color red has an interesting effect on our personality when worn. How do you wear red and white?
