Red clothes seem to perplex most people! I know that I had trouble pairing my red bag with outfits until I planned them out. You need a plan of action to keep your red clothes in the everyday rotation. You can see all my red bag outfit ideas here. 

You can choose the best red for you based on your skin tone. I like to take pictures of myself in the red before I buy it to see if it is a good choice.My favorite way to try things on is at home with the help of Trunk Club. They send me a box every month and I pick out my favorites. This past month, I asked for a few red pieces to help me with Colors that Go with Red Clothes post. 

Colors that Go with Red Clothes

Red Dress with Gold

Metallics like gold allow red to shine by reflecting it back on itself. Nothing looking better with a red dress than a gold bag or gold shoes.

Rose Gold

You can also wear rose gold with your red dress it looks fantastic. I wore Rose gold jewelry, rose gold shoes, and rose gold bag with my red dress for New Year’s a few years ago.

Red Dress with Silver

You can also wear red and silver together because red silver reflects red and complements the color really well.

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. 

Pink with Red

Ever since I saw Sarah Jessica Parker wearing pink and red together I cannot stop thinking about wearing red and pink together. It is such a fun combination and the two colors stand out together. It looks fantastic and is a great choice for Valentine’s Day or any party. Get Valentine’s Day nail art inspiration here.

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.

Royal Blue with Red 

Of course, red looks fantastic with royal blue. Think about all those superheroes with the red and blue like Supergirl and Superman. Red white blue colour palette together work best during the summer and around the patriotic holidays like Fourth of July, Independence Day, Presidents’ Day election day, Veterans Day, and memorial day.

Navy with Red

If you’re going for a very nautical look, navy blue and red together look fantastic.

Animal Print with Red 

When I think of animal prints like leopard, I automatically think of Red first. Red and leopard together have become kind of tacky in a way. You have to be careful on how much skin you show when you were are wearing leopard print.
