For a timeless, classic look, go for a monochromatic red or black-and-white look. Yes, a bright style will definitely attract attention, but the combination of black, white, and red creates a more sophisticated feel.

For a cherry red that is both bright and rich, there are three colors to look out for black, white, and navy.
"It's the epitome of vintage glamor, so bring out your inner Marilyn Monroe and choose elegant pieces that are always in trend," the stylist said. Neutral shades are also an ideal basis for a refined, calmly luxurious look.

Michelle Washington advises trying berry shades of pink or purple.
"Pair this lipstick with jewel tones like emerald green, royal blue, and deep purple to create a bright, eye-catching look that's perfect for any time of year," the stylist advised.

Another warm shade, orange-red, goes well with neutral colors such as beige, cream, and even some shades of green.
Think about a chic beige raincoat or a pale green sweater – perfect for everyday walks. Create a complete look with a blush that complements your orange-red lips.
