A red dress is an iconic piece of women’s fashion. Not completely versatile as its neutral counterpart, the little black dress, the little red dress is still a piece of clothing that a woman should own if she wants to make a statement. But if you’re stuck at the crossroads women face where we have the dress, the shoes and the purse picked out but we don’t know what to do with the hair or make-up, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s a quick run-down of what you should do with your luscious locks and beautiful face.

Hairstyle

When you’re wearing a red sundress, you don’t want to completely overwhelm yourself or others by overdoing your look. When it comes to your hair, make sure that you stay away from big hairstyles like tight curls or sparkly accessories. These will not harmonize with your dress well, so make sure to stick with something like straight hair, maybe using a flat-iron to straighten everything out. These will give you a sleek look that won’t overpower your dress at all.

Makeup

On the makeup front, wearing a red eye shadow is a big no-no; you don’t want to look like you’re trying to completely match everything you’re wearing. Also steer clear of the color purple, this will clash with the red color as well. You’ll want to steer yourself towards neutral colors like browns and gunmetal grey. For your nails, stick to something simple like a French manicure or light beige. The whole idea behind everything that you wear other than the dress itself is to not over-do everything else you’re wearing and drown yourself is clutter. As long as you keep things consistent and sleek, you’ll be the talk of the party that you’re going to and everyone will compliment you on your sense of style.
