What’s more festive for the holidays than a pop of red? It’s a universally flattering shade that brightens your skin tone and brings life to dull winter days. I remember when I went shopping for my beloved Max Mara coat (featured below) and being positive that I wanted it in beige. But as soon as I tried on the red, there was no question which color suited me more. If you’ve never worn red, I encourage you to give it a try (it’s surprisingly easy to wear). Here are five easy ways to rock it right now—which look is your favorite?
Casual-Cool
Keep it cool and casual by pairing a red coat and sweater with boyfriend jeans, booties and a cozy pom hat.
