The Lady in a Red Dress

The lady in red.

I don't know why but there is just something about a woman in a red dress that screams pure sexiness. Whether you're a regular-sized or a plus-size girl, wearing a red dress out to party or to a formal gathering seems to convey a strong personality that commands immediate attention from everyone. Once a woman steps out into the world in her perfect little red dress, she seems to shout out, "Hey, everyone! Look at me! I am strong and I am sexy and I am ready to take on the world!"

Choosing the right kind of red dress is thus crucial to a woman's decision because red is such a powerful color that selecting the wrong style or design may spell out sexiness and strength in all the wrong decisions. Unlike "the little black dress" which exudes simple elegance, the mere decision of choosing red for a dress means that a woman is trying to put out a statement out there for all the world to see. Red is not really a subtle color and a woman choosing red has to possess some kind of strong character or personality to be able to brave wearing this dangerous yet equally elegant color.

Depending on a woman's style and function, she can choose from so many designs and material and brands now readily available in the market. But I believe it requires a certain kind of attitude to be able to pull off this color in a dress. If you're going to a prom for example, you can opt for a strapless chiffon belted dress to look both glamorous and sexy. With black stilettos and subtle yet elegant jewelry, you will surely turn heads wherever you go. If you're going to a special date like anniversaries, a sleeveless, low neckline, sequined empire cut would be perfect. Or if you want to achieve that vintage glamour look, a red pencil dress will definitely make him swoon over you. A flirty tiered solid knit dress will never fail to impress in any party. If it's a business meeting or gathering you're going to, a red jacket dress will both create a seriously sexy look.

Brands like Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, Avenue and Catherine's offer an amazing collection of red dresses that will surely fit any occasion. Available in your local department store or in a more fancy boutique, you can always choose the right kind of red dress that will fit your budget. From classic styles to more adventurous and even eclectic designs, a woman will have a feast shopping for that perfect red dress. From lace to chiffon to even corset, the styles are limitless and a woman just needs to have an air of confidence to carry this red, hot number successfully.
