2. Pair with Other Colours
Rather than go monochromatic with the colour red, you can as well pair with other colours. But since your look is for the season, ensure the colour you’re combining doesn’t outshine your red.
For instance, you can wear a red shirt with navy blue, blue, black or beige bottoms. You can even wear red bottoms with any mild coloured top.
Furthermore, you can as well blend with white. Red combined with white can serve as a good outfit for Valentine’s day. When doing this, your red should be the main colour while white only complement it.
3. Look Good in Other Aspects
You shouldn’t focus on your clothes alone and forget about your overall grooming. In essence, your hair, body and makeup should be on fleek.
It will be quite terrible if after looking good for your outing, someone comes close to you and realises you have body odour. To avoid such, pay attention to your body as you do to your clothes. Your body deserves perfect grooming.
