Even though I almost always wear all black, I think I might need to try something different. To be honest, I think it’s probably because I’ve been reading through Instagram for too long, making it almost hard to ignore how popular one colour trend is: red. In recent months, it seems like every one of my favourite fashion set members has been wearing red-hued style dresses and accessorising them flawlessly. Given the variety of ways this style can be worn, the red dress’s attraction makes sense.
In addition to being appropriate for both day and night, red dresses also offer a wide variety of style options. From wearing a red minidress with white trainers during the day to switching them out for strappy red shoes at night, I’ve seen it all. Naturally, I learnt a few tips because there are so many examples of the current fashion set wearing red gowns. Here are some outfit suggestions that not only showed me how to wear red, but also which shoes go best with a red dress. See some of my favourite shoe and dress combos by scrolling down; you’ll want to try them right now.
Red Dress + Red Sandals
This choice is not for those with a weak sense of style. Selecting a pair of heeled sandals that match your dress’s colour exactly will make a statement.

Even while ballet flats are really comfy, they might not be the best option for a hot summer day. Fortunately, there are black slide sandals available. Wearing open-toed slides with a red maxi dress is a surefire way to appear stylish throughout the summer without exerting yourself.

By the way, these slides are highly praised.
