Red shoes and black dress - the perfect combination!
Features and benefits of the combination
The combination of red and black is a classic. Based on these two colors, you can create many images: gothic, business, sexy. The main thing is to place accents correctly, then your red shoes and black dress will be unforgettable!
Both red and black are active, vibrant and eye-catching. Therefore, combining them together, remember the main rule - do not overdo it. If you need the image of a "princess vampire", feel free to combine the scarlet with a deep black without adding any extra details. For all other situations, the red and black ensemble will have to work: think over the shade of shoes, cut the dress, pick up accessories.
The owner of red shoes will be noticeable in any case. In order not to "burn" in such bright shoes in the eyes of others, designers advise the following:
- Do not combine red shoes with the same color dress.
- Do not try to combine scarlet shoes with clothes decorated with leopard print.
- Do not wear fancy or colored panty hoses with red shoes.
- Do not choose for everyday wear, and even more so for solemn occasions red shoes on a high platform.
Variations of the image
Lace dress
Black lace dress looks mysterious and sexy. In combination with red boats, this is undoubtedly an evening look.
The dress should not be too short: options, barely covering the buttocks, more like underwear. With an average length, it is quite acceptable to wear a form-fitting outfit, but the most elegant images with red shoes are obtained from flared, cut-off at the waist dresses. Lace dresses are most often sewn on the cover, which covers the most naughty places. However, it looks very beautiful if through the lace one can see arms or shoulders up to the chest line. The lower part of the skirt can also be transparent to the middle of the hips.
As accessories for such an ensemble, designers usually offer a small-sized, discreet clutch (most often black), minimalistic gold jewelry.
Short dress
Combining the "little black dress" with scarlet shoes, remember: it will be an outfit that fascinates the eyes to your feet. Great for a party! This dress is well suited to cut the "case" or a short dress with a fluffy skirt. Look stylish with red shoes with metallic luster or leather dresses. As in the previous case, the accessories here will require a minimum number, and the most soothing shades, as an option - silver.
Evening dress to the floor
For important, festive events, such a combination should be chosen if only because a black dress on the floor is the height of elegance, but with accessories you need to be extremely careful. In this case, in scarlet, burgundy, cherry or ocher shoes you can be 100% sure. Bright shoes, playfully peeking out from under the floor, at the same time dilute the dark black and attract attention.
Black dress in peas
Ever-relevant "peas" on the dress - the perfect companion for red shoes. You can experiment forever. For example, a polka-dot dress with a fluffy skirt and red lacquered "hairpins" will create an image of a pin-up girl or return you to the era of "style." A great option for a theme party.
A dress like a case flared at the bottom can be complemented with coral-colored shoes and the same color with a handbag on a long strap - a good straight-bow.
Dress in the peas with the right cut can even be evening, and in combination with red shoes it looks incredibly stylish.
Business image
You can also make a business suit out of red shoes and a black dress. The dress will require a rather strict, for example, a case of length to the knee or slightly lower. It can be decorated with relief seams or basky. The dress must have sleeves, ideally - ¾. By the way, in order to “slow down” such a bright combination, for an office with a black dress, you can pick up shoes not of scarlet, but of calmer shades of red - wine, burgundy. Such expensive shoes will look very suede.
You can add an image with an elegant wool cardigan or jacket.
What tights or stockings to choose?
Most fashion industry experts believe that the best option is to wear red shoes without tights at all. Perfectly groomed slender legs will speak for themselves. If for some reason it is impossible, it is worthwhile to choose the finest tights to match the skin color so that they are almost invisible.
Definitely "NO" is to say:
- models of any color, if their density is more than 20 den;
- tights and stockings with a pattern;
- tights and stockings in the net - small or large.
Can I wear black tights with scarlet shoes? There is no clear answer. Sometimes it is black tights help complete the bow. If the image is not overloaded, and you feel confident, this option is quite acceptable.
What accessories fit?
The choice of details should be approached especially carefully - one incorrectly selected accessory can make an elegant outfit tasteless.
The perfect handbag for a black dress and red shoes is black. For evening exits - a small clutch, for office attire - a tough bag with handles. For an informal occasion, you can choose a handbag to match shoes (although today this advice is considered obsolete), or some other color with red detail.
Scarlet shoes can be supported by a thin strap around the waist. The wide red belt looks rough.
Win-win is an expensive jewelry of black, gray, steel colors. The necklace in red and black colors will look elegant too. A bit of chic to the image will add a necklace and a small handbag of gold color. Of course, suitable jewelry made from precious metals, pearls.
Red shoes can be balanced not only with accessories, but also with makeup. If you wear bright red lipstick, use this technique. It will be appropriate and scarlet color manicure.
Pay attention to the material from which the shoes are made. Smooth skin will be appropriate everywhere, first of all - in a business image. Suede will add luxury, chic, bohemian. Evening options for red shoes - satin, velvet. Lacquered red shoes look incredibly dynamic: these are shoes for a party, or for the city (in combination, for example, with jeans). Such shoes scream loudly about themselves and will not tolerate any other bright accessories.

The turn-down collar and sleeve of the dress balance the mischievous mini. The bag-postman with an abundance of zippers and pockets adds efficiency to the image.
