Friday Frocks: In the Red

New York may be called the Big Apple, but when it comes to that shiny red skin, we’d prefer it be rotten. New Yorkers tend to favor the LBD over the LRD because wearing color makes us nervous. Regardless of New York’s aversion to any other shade of black than black, a red dress is a closet staple, especially around the holiday season. Much like the “bend and snap,” an LRD works every time. You may be saying, “But I don’t look good in red.” Fortunately for your pretty little whining self, there are enough shades of red that at least one will complement your skin tone and hair color- from crimson to cranberry. So take a step outside of your comfort zone during the party circuit this year and dare to draw some attention to yourself in any various shade of red.
