Red is going to be big this fall, in varying shades and textures, so you don’t want to miss out! Unless of course you have a "venreda" against the color. But most probably do not, so have some fun with this strong hue, and let it carry you when you're feeling bold into and throughout the season (within reason). Whether it's simply a coat of ruby on your nails or a smashing scarlet dress, try on some red to fire things up as the weather cools down.
