Whether you want to wear a little or a lot, there’s a way to work red into your wardrobe this Valentine’s Day.

How will you wear your red this V-Day weekend?

Just a little





There’s no need to be intimidated by bold colors, but if you feel the need to take baby steps, start with a pair of red flats ($38 at Urban Outfitters) with a casual pair of wide-leg jeans ($185 at National Jean Company) – they’ll peek out demurely from under the wide hem. Add a classic white shirt ($39.99 at Gap) for an easy weekend look.

A little more





Ready to step up to a bit of red at eye level? Try a silk blouse ($198 at YOOX) with a pair of everyday work trousers ($159.60 at Shopbop). Add a blazer ($168 at Nordstrom) for an even more tailored look, and a totally professional take on red.

A whole lot





If you’re ready to commit to a fiery dress, choose one with a classic cut so as not to detract from the statement-making color or overwhelm your look. This Nicole Miller dress ($190) strikes the perfect balance. For a night out, pair it with neutral accessories like these AK Anne Klein shoes ($39.99 at Piperlime) and this rich leather clutch ($176 at Urban Minx).
