Everyone has heard of a LBD ( Little Black Dress ) but few have a LRD (Little Red Dress ) and a red dress is a must to own. A red dress can be worn year round just like a black one but the difference is that if you wear a red one you will most definitely stand out in the crowd.  Red will not only stand out in a sea of black but will pop amongst neutrals and pale colors this spring and fall.

Red can be paired with any neutral so it is quite versatile but you do need be sure to pick the correct shade of red to complement your skin tone.  If you have a rosy or red complexion a red dress may make you look like a lobster so do not go tanning ahead of time if you plan on wearing  a red dress. Red does look great on a beige or pale skin tone as well as if you have a  dark skin tone. In fact if you are dark then you can wear the brightest of reds and you will look spectacular.  If you are fair skinned and a blonde then your best shades of red are true reds, blue reds, and  tomato reds which have little orange undertones.  Having brown eyes and/or deep brunette hair you should try a deep dramatic red.  If your skin is olive then you should try a red with orange undertones and scarlet reds. If your skin falls somewhere between pale and dark then a coral red is the color for you since it will  show off you skin vibrantly.

The DKNY Cap Sleeve Crew Neck Dress is a basic LRD that will carry you from season to season and never go out of style. A simple dress with flattering with bias pleats at one hit it is also quite stylish.

The Lanvin Reversible Satin Dress is great because it is two dresses in one. On one side it is a red dress with a black grosgrain trim and reversed it is an all black dress with a black grosgrain waist. This is a dress that can certainly be worn year round and you can even change mid evening and really make a statement.
