The color this season is red. A bright tomato red, a more subtle cherry red or a darker wine red. All the big fashion houses this winter have come out with clothing in different shades of red. This color is however a must have only for women. Men however, have been advised to avoid the color as there are very few men who can actually carry off the color.

Red is an extremely sexy color and makes you look very feminine and yet not too girly like pink. Red is also suitable to almost all occasions including formal occasions, work, partying or even a day out. Also red is something that looks good in almost all types of clothing. The following red clothing items are rated very high on the fashion meters right now:

Red Dress: The knee length or slightly below knee length dress in material that clings to your body is very in right now and is extremely flattering. It is also extremely classy and can be worn anywhere.

Red Wrap Shirt: Extremely fashionable right now and along with leggings of a light color and a top worn inside, it can also double up as office wear.

Red Jacket: A red jacket on the shorter side (long jackets are so last season) can be teamed up with almost anything and will make you look very sexy this holiday season. Different collars, double breasted and button styles can be varied. Big brass button also look rather fetching.

Red Converse: And to end are my all time favourites. Chuck Taylor Converse. This is the perfect time to get yourself the red ankle length converse to be totally in style.

So stock up on red and make sure you look special this holiday season. But remember as always the key is not to overdo it.
