Red equals passion. It is now assumed that it is the color that most attracts the male. And if you combine it with a dress with a corset bodice and balloon skirt, you're done. A red dress is a strong fashion statement, but when worn right, it can create both a classic and seductive look. When choosing accessories that accompany the dress, keep it simple: unobtrusive pieces that add a little interest and contrast without drawing too much attention. The focal point must be the dress.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Think Monochrome
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 1 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 1](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-1-j.webp)
Step 1. Black belt
Better elastic, which does not have the appearance of those used to hold up trousers. The belts give a touch of class to the clothes and enhance the curves.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 2 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 2](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-2-j.webp)
Step 2. Mix various shades of red
A light red can look excessive if you use it across the board. Instead, choose different shades to create a contrast, while sticking to the base color.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 3 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 3](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-3-j.webp)
Step 3. Try some burgundy heels or ballet flats
This color is reminiscent of black while suggesting a colorful note on the feet.

Step 4. Stay bright with red leather pumps
If you have an important personality, choose shoes that match your height. Those in shiny leather give a touch of brilliance, preventing the shoes from being obscured by the dress.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 5 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 5](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-5-j.webp)
Step 5. Look for jewelry with red stones
Rubies or garnets. The bronze jewels give a strong appearance, while the gold and silver recall the more classic style.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 6 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 6](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-6-j.webp)
Step 6. Think of rings, earrings and bracelets in addition to the necklace
They must not overlap the dress. Necklaces and dangling earrings will touch it and the red stones will blend with the shade of the fabric.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 7 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 7](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-7-j.webp)
Step 7. Bring a handbag
Even if you have an ensemble with several red pieces, you don't have to overdo it. A large red bag would be excessive. Instead, choose a clutch bag, especially in a different shade of red from the dress.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 8 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 8](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-8-j.webp)
Step 8. Keep the accessories subdued
Too much red confuses the eye. Choose a pair of small jewelry and avoid unnecessarily large accessories.
Method 2 of 4: Mix Different Colors
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 9 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 9](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-9-j.webp)
Step 1. Think pink
Basically, pink is a light red. Not all shades of pink will do, so compare colors carefully before choosing them.
If you don't know where to start, try pink jewelry or metallic pink shoes. They are mostly metallic colored pieces but with a pinkish tinge
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 10 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 10](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-10-j.webp)
Step 2. Be the life of the party by sporting primary colors
Pair a red, yellow and blue clutch bag with blue shoes or yellow earrings. A few right accessories are the key to a fun and not too complex style.
This look is good for casual parties but may be unsuitable for formal or semi-formal occasions
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 11 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 11](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-11-j.webp)
Step 3. Look for fantasies that include red
The effect will be particularly good if the pattern matches the red of the dress. Try a red and purple striped scarf, a shawl with an abstract pattern in red and orange.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 12 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 12](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-12-j.webp)
Step 4. Choose the American theme
For the Memorial Day or Fourth of July picnic, tie a navy belt around a red sundress, put on white sandals and earrings, and here's the flag.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 13 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 13](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-13-j.webp)
Step 5. Green is good for Christmas
A red sweater can be paired with dark green shoes for a fun, Christmas season look. Avoid this juxtaposition if you don't want it to be automatically associated with this occurrence.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 14 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 14](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-14-j.webp)
Step 6. Choose rich shades on top of the brightest ones
Dark colors add a pop of color without going overboard. The light colors could contrast with the red of the dress giving a cheap look.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 15 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 15](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-15-j.webp)
Step 7. Mix different shades of brown
Try a pair of chocolate brown shoes with a nice beige belt. For jewelry, look for pendants and earrings with brown gemstones, such as tiger's eye, amber, topaz, or jasper. The stones can also be large but in this case only a couple of pieces are enough.
Method 3 of 4: Stay on the Classic with White and Black
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 16 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 16](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-16-j.webp)
Step 1. Break with black
It's a strong neutral color that can stand out from red without stealing the show. A belt at the waist detaches from the monotony of the single color and completes the look with a pair of boots of the same color.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 17 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 17](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-17-j.webp)
Step 2. Use black to make your look sexier
It's a strong and classy color, but the right black accessory can turn the heat up. A lace shawl around the shoulders in the evening or a bag with a lace lining are fabulous. Complete the outfit with a pair of black heels.

Step 3. Light up the outfit with white
If you want to make your red summer dress more classic, add white accessories like bracelets and sandals. Avoid black which is not very suitable for the hot summer months.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 19 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 19](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-19-j.webp)
Step 4. Wear a black or white cardigan
The black one of an expensive material will coordinate with an evening look, while the white one is perfect during the day.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 20 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 20](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-20-j.webp)
Step 5. Try a two-tone pattern
Patterns add interest, but a simple black and white makes the outfit more delicate. Choose polka dots for a timeless handbag, but if you want to be more daring, go for the spotted or zebra print.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 21 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 21](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-21-j.webp)
Step 6. Pearls
A simple string of pearls, coordinated with the earrings, creates a classic and elegant look, especially when combined with white or cream shoes.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 22 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 22](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-22-j.webp)
Step 7. Look for black or white stones, such as onyx or even pearls
A simple tennis necklace or bracelet with black stones will give that perfect touch to your outfit.
Method 4 of 4: Glows
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 23 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 23](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-23-j.webp)
Step 1. Gold and silver add a touch of glamor
The metal gives it shine and elegance. Make your neck or wrist shine with simple chains; look for shoes and handbag with the same glows.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 24 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 24](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-24-j.webp)
Step 2. Choose a two-tone look
While gold and silver can be used separately with a red dress, mixing them will give an interesting and classy touch to the outfit. Look for two-tone jewelry or create something yourself by layering gold and silver necklaces. Pair a silver chain belt with gold shoes and vice versa.
![Accessorize a Red Dress Step 25 Accessorize a Red Dress Step 25](https://i.sundulerparents.com/images/006/image-15192-25-j.webp)
Step 3. Maximize the glow with diamonds
Wear enough to make the whole thing stand out, without contrasting the red of the dress. A pair of earrings with a delicate or teardrop pendant is enough to make the dress special.
Advice
- Go for red lipstick or reddish shades. It doesn't have to be fiery red, but a nice red will help coordinate the makeup to the dress. If it seems overwhelming for the occasion, try a natural gloss.
- Keep the trick simple. A little blush on the cheeks and smoky eyes can create an attractive look, just don't overdo it.
- Many women hesitate to pair red accessories with a dress of the same color, while others do it wrong. Red goes with red, but you have to play with the different shades and textures to keep it interesting.
- The different shades of red are tulip, lacquer and burgundy
- If you have an hourglass taxman, the corset is your dress. If you are a column, opt for a slip dress like the models of the 70s and choose it in a darker red.
