I wear a ton of red around the holidays. It always seems to brighten my mood and I can still feel festive without slipping into a Christmas sweater (not that there’s ANYTHING wrong with Christmas sweaters). I’ve found a ton of red inspiration to get me through this holiday season: manicures, lips, scarves, mittens, dresses, coats… I could go on. Check out some of my favorite outfit inspiration after the cut!
I love wearing red coats because I can pair them with all of my gray/black winter wear… I can even throw some brown into the mix and it looks good.
Red dresses are super versatile. They’re perfect for date nights, holiday parties and even to wear to work. I pair them with my chunky charcoal cardigan, black opaque tights and black or light brown shoes.
Red shoes add the perfect pop of holiday color to any dark winter ensemble. I especially love how they pop when paired with black tights.
Be sure and check out the gallery for more of my favorite outfits featuring my favorite holiday color!
What do you think of these outfits, Lovelies? Is there a certain color (besides black) that you wear a lot around the holiday season?

It’s funny I wore red just the other day for Thanksgiving! So yes now that you mention it, I certainly will try to incorporate red these coming holidays. All of the looks you chose are very cute, but the 1st picture of the girl in the snow in the red coat with the hood, and the big gray scarf…gah
love that look! So cute but yet kinda cozy.

I don’t look good in red. It brings out some of the negative aspects undertones in my skintone. I do dress in a festive way (without wearing red) and have used red in my home decor for the season.

I normally wear a lot of red… but I tend to avoid it around the holidays for fear of being mistaken as “festive”.

Red does suit the holiday season. I don’t own that much red clothing. Probably because I like the color pink more. But I do like green, and tend to wear that. Typically I go for darker greens such as emerald green for example.

I won’t being getting into the festive mood by dressing in holiday color. I clash with red in every way. Everything else can be festive…just not me.

Red is not a color that suits me.

love love love love love that red jacket and her outfit! so beautiful.
i have a red toggle jacket, but it doesn’t really have much to do with being “festive”–i would have preferred it in white. it was just the best one i found after a long hunt

I looooooooove wearing red, but ESPECIALLY in the cold months. It’s a beautiful color for the fall and against the bleak and dreary winter weather, it just pops and makes you feel a bit brighter. I like wearing red as it’s easily brightest color I wear ever. XD

No, my clothing doesn’t change all that much with the seasons. Last night we had the air conditioner on, it was so warm.
I do like that hooded red coat at the very top. I would buy that, probably in black or green.
