Be the Apple of Fashion's Eye in Candy Apple Red

As tempting as the sweet treat it's named after, this warm hue allows you to transition from summer to fall in a clean, crisp way.  Gorgeous, glam and so intense it nearly glows, this true red has impact in small or big doses.  Plus, it's not-too-orange, not-too-blue undertones flatter a wide range of complexions, warming up paler ones and complimenting yellow-based skin.

How To Wear It....

The attention grabbing hue calls for textural contrast, so change it up- try slick patent leather against wool, or add shine to crepe with silk satin.  If that's too much color for your comfort level, try using it as an accent- red can underline a detail or exaggerate a waistline.

Neutrals like black and gray underscore this shade's vibrancy and let it take center stage as the star of your outfit.  Want to revel in it's richness? Gold adds a luxurious feel.  Should you prefer bold contrast, cobalt ups the wattage.
