Red is not the first choice for many working women but we show you how this colour can look both smart and fashionable at the same time.

Creating a flawless fashion statement is all about balance, and that’s why we love the combination of red with neutral.  By moving away from the usual combination of red teamed with traditional black or navy, you are giving your look a modern feel – red looks fabulous with natural shades such as stone (as we have showcased on this page) or even a tan or a rich chocolate brown.

The top with its soft sleeves hides upper arms perfectly, while the belt in the same shade as your top ensures an elongated silhouette.

Your accessory choice could be tan but we LOVE the metallic option. So stylish. So feminine. So chic.
