You could wear a thin turtleneck under it, matched to your tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945623 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 21:54:31 +0000 Becky 1945623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress, and nice necklace to go with it. You've had some great color advice here. What about "winter white" or cream footwear with nude hose? I would also like silver or gold with it, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945617 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 21:31:28 +0000 rachylou 1945617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is the BEST dress. I think matching shoes and stockings would lengthen the legline, any colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945615 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 21:19:36 +0000 Anonymous 1945615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with suggestions above of black or gray but pick up color again with accessory ( scarf, jewelry like what you show, black chunky wood or chunky costume variety)<br /> Absolutely gorgeous dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945611 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 21:06:17 +0000 The Cat 1945611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try grey, beige or brown hosiery. The necklace is very nice. Other options if you want to "calm down" the bright red dress: A scarf/cardigan/jacket/waistcoat in grey, beige or brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945540 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 14:36:08 +0000 anne 1945540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a lovely dress. I don't think the necklace is too festive. I love 40s style too and am also in Australia.<br /> Angie has been encouraging me to trade black opaques for sheer recently and I can see more encouragement in this thread. Are you saying anything but opaque isn't warm enough? Could you wear a slip? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945535 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 14:06:10 +0000 citygirldc 1945535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a statement color shoe like blue or pink or tame it down with a silver/gold shoe with a sheer hose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945514 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 13:18:27 +0000 Bijou 1945514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried nude hosiery and nude shoes? That would allow the dress to shine. Nude hosiery would go with red shoes too.</p> <p>Alternatively, if you go for black shoes you could tie it in with sheer black or a smokey grey hosiery and a black belt on the dress. A black coat would also work well over this dress and tie in with the shoes.</p> <p>This is a pretty dress, but all red has to be worn with attitude. It can be fun in the office, but I would see this dress being great for going out at night, going to parties and on dates.</p> <p>I hope you enjoy this dress, it is very pretty.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945513 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 13:16:41 +0000 bj1111 1945513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try nude for you hose and double up if needed for warmth. The dress is super </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945506 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 12:33:27 +0000 StyleDetective 1945506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks guys! </p> <p><b>Nina</b>, you are spot on with the Dior reference, I love the fashions of the 40s and 50s. I used to wear a lot of vintage though these days I prefer modern garments. I like the anthracite stocking idea, that should be less jarring than black.</p> <p><b>RobinF</b>, I don't actually... well, I have a pair of chocolate boots, but they're very casual. My black boots died earlier in the winter and I haven't replaced them yet but boots are a good idea!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945502 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 12:14:42 +0000 RobinF 1945502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have tall boots? I would think any neutral boots would look nice and then the tights wouldn't show and could be nice and thick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945498 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 12:02:16 +0000 Anonymous 1945498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is stunning.&nbsp; No advice on the hose, but the necklace works great (to my eye).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945496 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 11:33:55 +0000 Nina 1945496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how about anthracite stockings?&nbsp;<br />the dress is very "new look Dior" :)&nbsp;</p> <p>what kind of boots do you plan to wear with it?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-red-dress-how-to-wearaccessorize#post-1945491 Mon, 06 Aug 2018 11:11:12 +0000 StyleDetective 1945491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Fabbers</p> <p>I recently added this bright red dress to my winter clothing collection (I'm down under) and I was hoping for tips on how to wear and style.</p> <p>Usually in winter I wear navy or black stockings with dark skirts and dresses, but that doesn't look so good with this dress... I feel like the midi length and dark stocking combo makes my legs look like stumps that don't go with the rest of my outfit! But it is *freezing*, including in my office, and I can't get away without opaque tights. And, because I've been wearing lots of dark colours, I accessorize with pops of colour... my usual approach definitely doesn't work here!&nbsp;</p> <p>Grateful for any advice I do like the dress but I am feeling a little intimidated by the brightness and how to style it.&nbsp;</p> <p>P.S. The second pic is a necklace I own I was thinking of wearing it with, not sure if it's good or too festive-looking.
