What can I wear with a red sundress?
Features and color combinations
The summer has passed, but the new season is not far off, when it will be possible not to wrap a fur coat, but to show oneself in all its glory. Your irreplaceable assistant in this business will be a red sundress. However, now you should not put it away in the closet. Why is he so good?
First of all, red is a universal color that goes to both pale-faced girls and tanned beauties. Secondly, as the last fashion season showed, sundresses are now at the peak of their popularity. The secret of the demand for sundresses is simple - in the summer they save the owner from the heat, and in the autumn-winter period they allow you to create a large number of sets, acting as their basis.
Combining these two advantages, we get a red sundress, which, on the one hand, will highlight your strengths, and on the other hand, you will be pleasantly distinguished from the crowd of “gray” colleagues
If you do not have such a wardrobe detail yet, and you are thinking about buying a red sundress, the question arises before you: what things will it be combined with most successfully?
The classic option is to combine red with all shades of white. Light beige colors add softness and a little romance. Cool white will give rigor in combination with a concise cut.
Also do not be afraid to combine a red sundress with black things. Such a color mix will add to your image of drama, which is very women self-confident.
In addition, there are the following not very obvious, but well-working combinations: red with brown (gives the image aristocracy), red with blue (preferably deep blue, closer to purple hues), red with cool shades of green.
And do not forget that the red color goes well with its other shades, but it is better if they are present in one thing, for example, in the form of a print.
How to choose and who will suit
So, about the compatibility of colors, we found out. Now you need to understand which red sundress is right for you, because it must emphasize all your merits.
If we talk about happy owners of the “hourglass” figure, then it is enough for them to simply select their waist by choosing a fitted sundress. The top of a sarafan is something you can play with: thin straps, lowered sleeves, no straps at all. Bottom is better not to weight frills, simple concise cut - this is for you.
If you, as a JLo, have large volumes in the hips and narrow shoulders, then you are a pear. You need to try to balance your appearance by drawing attention to the upper part of the body with various drapes on the chest, narrow straps. Overstretch the waistline with the help of a skirt extending from the hip. Your perfect red dress is a maxi dress, possibly with a long neckline.
If your shoulders are as powerful as those of Chloe Moretz, but your hips do not keep up with them - you are an “inverted triangle”. This figure looks quite sporty, it is necessary to balance a romantic sundress. Do not be afraid of pleating and ruching skirt - it will benefit. The top should be as concise as possible, in addition, you can play on the contrast: a dark top and a bright bottom.
With a mild waist like Angelina Jolie (yes, even she is not perfect), but about the same volume of your chest and hips you have a “rectangle” figure. A winning option for you are sundresses in the style "empire", which will emphasize your form. You fit a red sundress length mini and maxi.
Owners of the figure "apple" (no waist, but there is a tummy) are generally suitable recommendations for "rectangles", but here the length of the sundress is better to choose "to the knee."
Also note that in a business setting and on a walk with your loved one, completely different styles of a red sundress would be appropriate. In the office, try to wear a sundress, combined with a shirt to give it austerity. Preference is given to tight-fitting kits. In everyday life there are no such strict rules, you can wear sundresses made of light, flowing fabrics, with a lot of jewelry. Do not be afraid to experiment.
Popular models
In 2016, a wide variety of sundresses was presented on the catwalks as part of the summer collections. Highlight the main trends:
- Bright print. Again you can choose sundresses with bright repetitive patterns - animal motifs, flowers, and even blots will do.
- Knitted items woven into a sundress fabric. Such a design would be appropriate on the beach, or on a hot summer day. The main thing, do not forget to wear a swimsuit.
- Maxi-length is a real must-have of the summer season of 2016. Ideally, its owner should be graceful like a deer, and the hem of a sundress should develop in the wind, as if from a sea breeze.
- The absolute hit of the outgoing season is the open shoulders. A lowered strap, a special cut - all to show how vulnerable and defenseless you are.
- Combination sundress with a t-shirt / shirt. Slightly cold, and you hid your favorite sundress in the back box? Now you can simply put on a black T-shirt or a neutral shirt - you are back on a horse.
- The most interesting find from designers in store for the end is a sundress-tunic (a cross between a tunic and a light sundress). You need to wear this thing over skinny pants.
And if you think that the red color is not reflected in the findings of the season listed above, then you are mistaken. Designers love this color (and all its numerous shades) as well as we, mere mortals, actively use in their collections.
A red tunic tunic, an orange-red maxi-sundress or an open Cranberry shade sundress are incredibly relevant in 2016.
What to wear

At work, give preference to jackets with a laconic cut, or knit cardigans of soft colors.
Shoes and accessories
If your red dress is a summer option, then the shoes should be appropriate - light and comfortable.
Walking shoes
One of the simplest and most successful options are sandals (regular or “smooth-running”). The second option is comfortable shoes are slaps. They can be worn under a long dress and under sundresses of different lengths.
Try to balance the image: do not use flip flops with a red sundress that are too loaded with decor. Also, the classic option would be the use of sandals (with or without heels).
If your red dress is made in a sporty style, then do not hesitate to use sneakers and sneakers. And do not forget about our "magic wand" with a long walk - ballet flats. Not the best option for girls with imperfect legs, but comfortable.
In the fall, boldly wear leather and suede booties. For the winter season high boots of black and brown color are relevant.
Work shoes
Boats of neutral colors. White boats will look especially advantageous with a red sundress: they will attract the attention of everyone around. In addition, the use of graceful sandals is allowed, if this is not prohibited by the dress code of the company.
There are no special requirements for accessories. A light chiffon scarf, which can be knitted around the neck or dramatically draped over the shoulders, will be a good complement to the sundress. Do not forget about jewelry, which can be varied.Depending on the style of the dress it will be preferable to jewelry industrial or manual production. The handbag should be small, better on a long strap.
