The days that separate us from Christmas are so few that it is clear to all that it is time to think about the holiday looks, the ones that this year will make us shine like never before every day, and until the end of the year.

The absolute protagonist of the weeks to come is always him, the quintessential Christmas color, the one to show off during the big Christmas Eve dinner, at corporate parties and why not, even on New Year's Eve.

Does it seem a bit too much for the everyday? You are wrong, because actually to find the right balance all you need to do is to choose clothing items and mix them with each other in the best possible way. How to do it we tell you, revealing also how to wear red in every occasion.

How to wear red on any occasion

If you love the color of Christmas, but prefer to give it up because you do not know how to match it, then, you are in the right place, because we will reveal how to wear red in every occasion, even in the most formal ones.

The month of December is one of the most magical months of the year, not only because it marks the beginning of winter but also and especially because it is the season for parties. There are so many, sometimes too many, events to which we are invited to attend: corporate dinners, happy hours with friends, dinners and parties are the order of the day, but are you sure you have the look given to every occasion?

Fortunately, we have at our disposal a wide selection of glittery garments that lend themselves well to the various engagements we cannot escape during the holidays. Glitter, shades of gold and silver are a must for entertaining events, yet red remains the most versatile and traditional choice of the moment.

Whether you are looking for formal and classic clothing or need a sparkly look to wow someone, know that wearing red this time of year is always a great choice.

Not only because it is the quintessential holiday color, but also because unlike what some may think, it is a very versatile hue especially when declined in all its shades and thus adaptable to any time of day or night, and for any occasion.

Look for the holidays: how to match red

As we anticipated, red looks good with everything, and on any occasion. But depending on the type of event you have to attend, it is appropriate to choose the right clothing.

In the case of corporate dinners or more formal gatherings, the advice is to opt for elegant mid-length dresses in the color red or its shades. On the other hand, if it is a less informal event where you are specifically asked to shine, go ahead and opt for sequins and glitter, even in combination with gold shades.

As for the family dinner, however, a must-have that should never be missed is the classic red Christmas sweater. This can be paired with pants, shorts or pleated skirts, again the red and gold combination is always a winner.

If you want to bring some Christmas spirit with you even at work and during your daily commitments, then wear red on every occasion, but without overdoing it. You can sport red sweaters, even without Christmas prints, or cardigans and jackets to mix and match with other garments.

Yes also to midi dresses, especially when Christmas shopping or walking around town. On New Year's Eve, on the other hand, it is the underwear that gets color, which, needless to say, must be strictly red.
