Black with Red

Red and black together is a normal choice. You might be tempted to wear a pair of black jeans and a red top together. My only concern is that it can look a little dated when paired together. It reminds me of the 2000s for some reason, but there is no denying that red and black look great together.

Here I mixed the textures to bring something new to the colour combination. Black is one of the top colors that go with red clothes.

Pairing Red and Green 

The colors for Christmas are red and green for a reason. These two colors are complementary Colors and by definition go together. The only problem is that primary red and primary green are known so much for Christmas that it is hard to wear the complementary colors any other time.

Although if you choose a red that is not traditionally a Christmas color you can find a complementary green that will work for you. For example, mint green and coral look great together but they don’t remind you of Christmas.

This black dress has a little bit of red and green in the flowers and brings in the bag color really well.

White with Red Clothes

You can really add a pop of color to a white dress with a pair of red heels. Also, a red dress with white sunglasses or white accessories is super cute together and reminds me of the 1950s sock hop look. It’s a very vintage color combination that reminds me of red cars and white wall tires.
