I love wearing fiery reds in the summertime. There’s just something about this color that makes me feel so energized, and like the beautiful red roses and gladiolus that bloom in Michigan’s summers, I love making a bold statement when the temperatures soar.

Red Summer Essentials
So many of my favorite pieces can be worn all year long, like this gorgeous red handbag, or this adorable “Fired Up” handbag. These sunglasses, this travel wrap, and these red beauty products can be used year-round. This massive red bucket candle is perfect for fall and winter as well and has a beautiful wine fragrance, and this suitcase is a different color than my go-to, but just as fun and even more festive heading into the holidays!
I find that reds are extremely easy colors to color match, as most brands use “true reds”. Another style “hack” I use in the summer, which is no secret, is to wear an all-white outfit, then add in some dainty gold jewelry, and coordinating red shoes and a red handbag. This tried and true styling method helps me quickly and easily pull together polished looks that are comfortable, easy to wear, and I can include many of red summer essentials without going overboard.
Another great way to wear bolder colors like bright reds is to wear white or another neutral with a red piece of clothing, and then wear your favorite red lip color. Top the look off with white shoes, red sunglasses, and you’ll feel instantly put together. If you enjoy a more subtle approach to bright reds, find a shade of red nail polish that works for your skin tone and match a lipstick to it for an easy way to elevate your everyday style.
What are your favorite red summer essentials?
Until next time!
