Dress Week: Lady in Red
Dec 5, 2019
During the legislative session, red was my power color. Mostly because in a crowded legislative chamber, wearing red makes it easy for people to find you. And with the holidays upon us, a red dress works for the seasonal festivities and for making a splash at work.
This Donna Karan Faux Wrap is perfectly sleek and sophisticated. It’s also under-$150. Runs sizes 2-16.
Looking for more mid-price red options? Donna Karan also makes this square neck dress with a shorter sleeve. And Hugo Boss made this ruched-side dress with a brushstroke print.
Need something under-$100? This Boden Emily Ponte Midi Dress and this Tahari sheath dress both caught my eye.
Plus-size? Check out this Maeve Jocelyn dress (also in misses). Petite or Tall? I like the dolman sleeves on this NY&Co. dress.

How do you handle leg wear and shoes for red?
Personally I find black to heavy and red hard to match/a little tacky. I’d say nude-to-you shoe and bare legs.
*too heavy. Doh.
