Red is a color of many meanings, it can be used to express both love and danger with the same intensity. Subjective meanings apart, I suppose that we all agree that red makes a great presence in anyone's wardrobe, from a simple accessory detail to a whole ensemble. I particularly adore to see a little spot of red on a dark or light background, it's remarkable how that can change someone's entire look so easily. How lovely it is to wear red, however, it hasn't been always like that, not in History terms. In some societies, like the japanese one, the privilege of wearing red was reserved exclusively to the upper class, and that wasn't hundreds of years ago, it was actually a current rule until the first half of the 20th century. Nevertheless, common people didn't always care about rules and dared to wear red in the inside of their kimonos and sometimes they even wore red underwear. Luckily these days we're all free to wear the colors we please, and this set of very stylish ladies is definitely a great example of how to wear red.

Romeika, eu gosto muito de cor vermelha para se usar com roupas de noite. Vestidos longos, entende? Acho que fica sofisticado e elegante.
No dia-a-dia, não sou muito fã da cor.
Bom final de semana!
A nice selection! Could you find some ladies in green, too? :-) (my fav!)
I love--and those striped red glasses--gasp! And I was planning on wearing red stockings tomorrow too...
love red! my mom tells me its hard for redheads to wear red, but i embrace it - my favorite tho is wearing red lips and nails :)
Kamila, entendo perfeitamente. E realmente vermelho fica muito sofisticado em vestidos de noite, me lembra logo daqueles vestidos do Valentino. Bom fds!
Hi Grinda, I was only searching for ladies in red hehe
:-p
The Clothes Horse: Love red tights!
Modern Marie, redheads are already so gifted with colour that I can imagine it's a little hard to put out a red outfit, but you should give it a try! ^^
I love bright red and black- or red and white- on other people. It always seems too bright on me. I feel like a walking billboard. I wear it only as an accent, like a bracelet, belt or brooch.
Red is a statement of self-confidence. That's why it's so hot.
Romeika, e os tons de vermelho foram super usados na noite do último Emmy. Acho que podem aparecer com tudo nessa temporada de premiações.
Hi darling,
i'm back!
I love the second row of pictures the best
red is a fabulous color that cannot be missed!
Love red, and it can be mixed with such of other colors, some people says one must be carefull with red, it may pass the wrong message, but who cares?
I never wear red
but I really like it, maybe I should start...
Adorei essas fotos! Quantos looks lindos! Eu também adoro acessórios vermelhos, deixa qualquer roupa mais interessante! Destas fotos a minha preferida é uma na ponta esquerda, a terceira de cima para baixo. Ela está com uma calça jeans, sapatos vermelhos e um cardigan longo, vermelho, com um cinto por cima, AMEI!
Love the red and white shades!
ooo fab photos, i love red, for some reason i've never had the typical female reaction of aversion to it haha, you know the "omg! red is just too daring for me, black is always chic though, right?" i have red berets, flats, coats, bags, dresses....if you have the gumption to wear it, well then why not!? :)
i love red! it's so visually stunning but i haven't got the courage to really wear it too often. i bought some red shoes and i've worn them maybe.. twice.
Great bit of history! I love those striped sunglasses too!
oh!! i love red!! i remember as a child when i was small, my mum would always dress me up in red and i would absolutely hate it so i avoided red a lot in my early teenage years but now, i love love red!! it cheers me up. =D
My obsession is blue, black and white.
Terrific the quote of the week by Buñuel.
Red makes me happy!!
