Look forward to seeing your fab red tees in action :)</p> <p>Scarves of any size are an interesting accessory. They can absolutely MAKE an outfit, or they can feel like too much. It's an outfit by outfit thing, and taking into account all the other variables of your style and look. Back to BALANCE being key.</p> <p>You'll find your balance!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red/page/2#post-2413700 Sat, 23 May 2026 07:03:12 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2413700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like red accessories, too. I had red French ballet shoes and a Dragon Diffusion woven tote already. This year I added a tiny red silk bandana and a suede flower charm on a string from Hereu.</p> <p>Not an accessory as such, but I have a red suede bomber jacket that was my most-worn item of the spring, though it’s getting too warm for it now. I have the flower charm in the buttonhole at the moment but I’m going to move it to other pieces.</p> <p>I’m also enjoying pinks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red/page/2#post-2413698 Sat, 23 May 2026 05:22:53 +0000 Star (Lise) 2413698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the striped boat neck. I have a near identical in navy/white. It is a super soft cotton knit, as you say almost like a tee but not. The off the shoulder top is totally up my alley and I can see why black would be a summer workhorse. Red would not get as much wear for me but maybe there is a time and place for it. Small scarves do tend toward that over styled feeling on myself too. I have a black/white like the one you returning and a stunning seafoam green and white. I never wear them but I am going to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red/page/2#post-2413697 Sat, 23 May 2026 01:29:10 +0000 Irina 2413697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LJP</b>, wow!

I only wear it with a coat/jacket for that reason. What red beaded necklace have you ordered? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red/page/2#post-2413655 Fri, 22 May 2026 20:46:25 +0000 AndiB 2413655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have much red, some Dansko Mary Janes that I pull out when it is warmer, a couple graphic tees (black tees with red design) that I've been trying to style.&nbsp; I have a very similar scarf to that you are returning, but it reads less bright, and I love it and wear it a lot; mine is Madewell from a few years back.&nbsp; I guess I have a red bag too, thank you for reminder that this is the time of year to pull that out!&nbsp; I did just purchase a red crew neck tee that I am looking to wear with denim, and with white bottoms.&nbsp; @LisaP mentioned the red carnelian necklace, so I immediately stalked that blogger.&nbsp; I am loving these beaded necklaces that are everywhere and I've purchased (way too many) from both Bauble Bar AND TJ Maxx.&nbsp; I have big bold beads and smaller ones. Grey, brown, green, blue (big beads and a lighter blue in a smaller bead). two turquois (color, not real stones, but perfect for summer).&nbsp; Bauble Bar has a similar necklace to what Lisa referred to which is now in my cart - actually carnelian (!) Turns out I have had my eye out for that color... I blame Lisa P.&nbsp; (so much blame lol)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.baublebar.com/products/janette-beaded-ring-necklace-carnelian">https://www.baublebar.com/prod.....-carnelian</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red/page/2#post-2413653 Fri, 22 May 2026 20:40:00 +0000 Carol 2413653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know Kotn, but might look them up. I love cuts that are just very subtly different from the norm, and that striped boatneck is like that. The second is cute, and looks surprisingly wearable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red/page/2#post-2413644 Fri, 22 May 2026 19:22:33 +0000 Irina 2413644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Updated at the top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413394 Tue, 19 May 2026 23:09:28 +0000 bj1111 2413394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so down with this. </p> <p>Must say I dig how many of you had a strong relationship with a color yet continue to remain open to possibilities</p> <p>Peeping @LJP and @Suz</p> <p>@Irina thx for this thread.

That red dotted scarf looks like it will be a very nice touch to neutral outfits, Irina. I love that you are keeping your older red shoes and accessories too. Glad to hear summer has reached you!<div><br /><div>I just got a hot pink bandana that adds a bit of flair to some of my casual outfits. I wear a lot of v-necks and I use the bandana for sun protection to cover the v. &nbsp;I have been looking for hot pink sandals but not finding any comfy ones so far.&nbsp;<br /></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413359 Tue, 19 May 2026 16:10:00 +0000 Irina 2413359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lyn67</b>, Oh, there are so many great inspirations for red accents.

Like say a straw/mesh/pleated/crochetted bag/shoe/hat or topper...</p> <p>For myself I always struggle with red accessories but am a low contrast blonde. So am always looking up for inspirations, if you will be so inclined to share your results here as I do have 2 red flats (ballet&amp;a sling) which I rarely wear and&nbsp; mostly for Spring and Autumn.<br />In the past I liked&nbsp; yellow shoes/sandals or bags (to blend somehow easier with my skin and hair). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413138 Sat, 16 May 2026 22:43:05 +0000 Jaime 2413138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always had a thing for red shoes. They might be one of my earliest style statements. Not sure where I am going this summer yet, I am not mentally there although weather wise it is summer already. You have excellent taste and your pieces look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413106 Sat, 16 May 2026 16:24:34 +0000 bella 2413106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like red, too. Blue+red+navy always looks chic to me.&nbsp;<br />Blue+red+white is nautical and lovely for summer as well.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413095 Sat, 16 May 2026 13:08:14 +0000 Janet 2413095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this idea. Sometimes I am drawn to red, but I only have very few true red items — a V neck sweater, and a graphic tee. I do have some items with red in a print, which works well for me. </p> <p>I’m sometimes tempted to add more — maybe for summer. I just let go of an old sleeveless red and blue patterned summer top that was looking a bit ragged and was always a little bit of a challenge to style. So maybe if I stumble upon the right item, I’ll add it again.</p> <p>I did buy an inexpensive coral tee not long ago, and I like coral as a bit more unexpected warm color that plays ok with my coloring and contrasts nicely with all the blue and black that I wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413091 Sat, 16 May 2026 04:14:10 +0000 Carla 2413091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know I love red! &nbsp;However, I’m into light blue and whisky brown at the moment. &nbsp;After a long search for hair clips that aren’t high contrast with my hair, I found a pair by a maker from BC in a local indie shop that are swirled pearl, light blue, and beige. &nbsp;I’ve been wearing them almost every day. &nbsp;I’d like to find whisky coloured sandals, and a whisky bag. &nbsp;I’ve been using my navy LePliage because it has a whisky leather flap and handles that match my whisky loafers added late in 2025. </p> <p>I like those fishermen’s sandals&nbsp;<b>kkards&nbsp;</b>posted!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413052 Fri, 15 May 2026 20:05:27 +0000 LJP 2413052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My last Etsy jewellery purchase came with a $40 duty the the UPS guy collected. &nbsp;I was NOT impressed- but I suppose I should have asked about that possibility before buying .</p> <p>Anna Newton is a UK content creator based in the UK.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413037 Fri, 15 May 2026 17:09:05 +0000 Suz 2413037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>L'Abeille </b>-- yes, you are right. It's a bit muddier and although normally I like clearer colours, in this case, maybe muddy makes it easier for me. I'm not sure. I also like fuchsia, which is much brighter. &lt;shrug&gt;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413035 Fri, 15 May 2026 16:55:51 +0000 L'Abeille 2413035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear red as accent any time of year. Maybe less in summer; I have some red blouses and Ts and tanks, a beloved linen dress, and ballet flats... They get a lot of wear around Canada Day and Acadian National Day (a big thing in New Brunswick) but not so much otherwise.</p> <p>Suz, that pink makes me think of Nantucket red: a red denim-like fabric that has faded in the sun. Somehow that pushes different buttons than actual pink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413032 Fri, 15 May 2026 15:51:16 +0000 JAileen 2413032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this, and I do it too. &nbsp;I’ll wear all navy or grey and then wear red shoes and bag. &nbsp;I have red shoes similar to yours. &nbsp;I need red sandals that are soft. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413027 Fri, 15 May 2026 14:41:57 +0000 Irina 2413027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun to see your accent colors! High five to those who is choosing red this season!<br />I will not be buying any red clothing. I considered it and love it but probably too much for me. I miss my bright red suede flat slingbacks that I bought in Rome years ago. How I enjoyed wearing them! But they got too tight and I had to let them go. Looking for a replacement since.&nbsp;<div><b>Suz</b>, I’m not into pinks but surprisingly got this image of a pink shirt worn with jeans and red shoes. Sometimes, we all need a bit of pink :)<br /><b>LJP</b>, I don’t know Anna Newton but I recently ordered a red beaded necklace I’m not sure about it, Etsy is one of those unpredictable adventures. Hope you will find red flats you like.&nbsp;<br /><div><br /></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413020 Fri, 15 May 2026 13:23:12 +0000 LJP 2413020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - I'm shocked at your foray into more pink! &nbsp;But , really, why not given the success of the Gap jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413019 Fri, 15 May 2026 13:22:22 +0000 LJP 2413019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've done a complete about-face and am loving red accessories and even the odd sweater or top. &nbsp;I assigned it my secondary colour, along with a couple of shades of blue, and already have a small collection of pieces. &nbsp;I get so many compliments when I wear my red shoes and sneakers that I've decided to invest in a quieter pair of red flats (mine are really a statement shoe) much like yours.......I've been searching but am not having any luck which makes me think I've left it too late in the season? &nbsp;Anyways, I am also looking for a red beaded necklace (carnelian maybe, like Anna Newton wears ) . &nbsp;I don't have a plain red bag right now but am not actively looking - maybe next summer. &nbsp;I just picked up a French terry short sleeved sweatshirt in washed out red and can't wait to wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413015 Fri, 15 May 2026 12:48:58 +0000 RobinF 2413015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never been a red person but did end up with a red sweater last winter. I like it but don't really like the color against my face so didn't wear it a lot. I really like your idea of using accessories for your reds.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-accent-color---red#post-2413008 Fri, 15 May 2026 11:39:26 +0000 Dee 2413008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your injection of red IRINA, its got punch. My wardrobe could stand a little colour punch too, its pretty heavy into denim and other neutrals although my periwinkle raincoat has been a fun colour injection. </p>
