Painting The Town

Red is associated with energy, passion and power; a show-stopping colour that catches the eye immediately, you shouldn’t feel the need to relegate it only to the Chinese New Year season. These ladies all exude a sense of strength and confidence in the hue, standing out from the sea of neutrals in the CBD. If you’re up to it, go for a bold, scarlet red that’ll immediately turn heads, but pair it with minimal accessories and darker-toned separates to keep the look from becoming overwhelming. Alternatively, start with a burgundy or wine-coloured shade of red if you’d like to take baby steps; try a few different colours to see which works best with your skin tone. If wearing red still seems too intimidating, choose a bag or clutch to add a lively burst of colour to any plain outfit.
