On a date, to the office and to a party: what to wear with a red bag (59 examples in the photo)

Combine colors

The combination of colors is characterized by the degree of contrast. The ratio of warm and cold shades gives the look expressiveness. Purity and richness of color determine the palette of the outfit. For example, in the question of what to wear with a turquoise or blue bag, the answer will be colors of varying intensities. A red bag can be combined with clothes in many shades, but there are those with which it looks out of place. Red combines most easily with achromatic shades:

• With white - restraint, freshness;
• With black clothes there is a sharp contrast, emphasizing the full depth of red;
• With a gray suit - a less sharp contrast, an elegant combination.

The laws of coloristics state that the color red is consonant with the following shades:

• blue;
• blue;
• brown;
• beige;
• pale yellow
• pale pink.

Stylish combinations

Here are the main stylish combinations for a red bag:

• red bag and shoes of the same color;
• a red bag and another red accessory, such as a belt or bracelet;
• a red bag combined with a red manicure;
• in combination with a red scarf or shawl;
• in combination with red earrings;
• the bag as the only color accent in the look.

It is worth noting that if you decide to bet on a red bag, you should not complement it with all the additional accents at once (red manicure, belt, earrings, etc.). It’s better to choose a bag plus one red accessory (by the way, this applies to both manicure and lipstick), or leave only one accent in the form of a bag. Remember that in the case of red, it is better to “under-salt” than to “over-salt”. Then your image will not look tasteless or vulgar.

What is a color type?

To make it easier to select a bag and other accessories, you need to know the color basis from which further selection will take place. A person’s color type will help with this.

The color type is the type of appearance of a person, by which his personal range is determined. The color type includes skin tone, hair color, eye color, according to which suitable shades are selected.

In determining the color type, lighting is an important point. Colors are perceived differently in natural and artificial light, so appearance is analyzed in daylight. There should be no makeup on your face.

Then they record the skin tone, eye and hair color and add characteristics to them: warm-cold, light-dark, clear-muted.

The four main color types are named after the seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn. For clarity, color types and their characteristics are presented in the table:

The color type of appearance does not imply a deep knowledge of styles, but it helps to accurately choose clothes and accessories for them. Each person's appearance is individual, it is important to emphasize its natural beauty.

Summer lightness in everything and everywhere

Images with a red bag allow you to highlight the individuality of the owner, at the same time, do not burden the appearance.

It can be worn, adhering to the classic rule of combination, shoes and a bag of the same color, for example, with red patent leather shoes, like a bright spot, standing out from the general background.

Such an accessory will look light and lively in combination with a dark blue striped vest and trousers of the same or black color. By replacing trousers with short shorts, you can get a playful set that will drive you crazy.

The look will be light and airy if you add a red handbag to a floor-length white summer dress, but a combination with an evening or cocktail dress in black or dark blue tones will add severity to the look and add romance.

The combination of a short sundress with an open back in blue, a red beach bag and a straw hat with large brims will look very gentle and playful. This outfit will give you a lot of impressions from your vacation.

Summer experiments are the most successful; during this season there are no inappropriate colors, and restrictions exist only in the flight of imagination and the harmony of the created image.

What to wear with a red bag at different times of the year

Color types of appearance are associated with the seasons. This or that time dictates the characteristics of the onion, depending not only on the temperature regime, but also on the color scheme of the season and personal perception of the surrounding reality.

Winter's Tale

In winter, muted, complex shades are popular. It will look decent with a burgundy bag. The style of outerwear matters: a massive red leather bag goes well with a dark blue fur parka, a red clutch or a burgundy shoulder bag goes well with a trapeze fur coat with black trousers. High boots or over the knee boots in soft basic tones will complete the winter outfit.

Autumn time

In autumn, brown and red tones are welcomed in nature and clothing, and a bag can reveal its potential. They prefer clothes in warm colors – pale yellow, brown. The handbag can be made in a bright red shade, made of textured leather. Reptile-like textures are again becoming favorites.

An autumn look for walking around the autumn city allows for another bright red accent - shoes, gloves or a scarf. In a business suit, it is better to limit yourself to a tote bag with a minimalist design.

Spring freshness

The beige palette creates a feeling of lightness. Powder-colored items are becoming popular, but you can also achieve the right mood with a red bag. Combine it with a light coat, skirt, and trousers. Large models look advantageous in muted tones, and small ones in rich colors. Ideas for spring bows are presented in the photo:

Summer is red

Freedom and brightness are back in fashion! In the summer, the basis for an image with a red bag will be a white or blue color scheme - a sundress or bell-bottom trousers with a top, open light-colored shoes. Catchy clutches and cross-body handbags come first. Non-standard materials are popular: patent leather, new types of textiles. Large business shops with many branches fall into the background.

Evening events

Red bags seem to have been invented for going out. Small handbags, often serving only a decorative purpose, impress with their variety. Complemented with fringe or fur, having a fancy shape and gold fittings, these accessories will create a festive mood. If the emphasis needs to be placed on the bag, the suit should contain a minimum of details and look cohesive. A dark cocktail dress or a smart black and white tuxedo will set the tone for the look.

Choosing a bag by body type

The bag chosen to match the outfit does not always match the girl’s body type. An important task will be to find a bag that highlights the advantages of the figure and hides the flaws.

There are different body types, each of which is favorably presented with the help of the “right” bag:

How to choose the right size for a red bag

To determine the size of your bag, you need to know what your body constitution is. If you have a height of up to 160 cm and a shoe size of up to 37, then your constitution is classified as miniature. Height up to 170 cm and shoe size up to 40 are considered standard. When your height is above 171 cm and your shoe size is greater than 41, then you have a large body constitution. We also choose bags in proportion to the figure: small ones are suitable for petite women, medium women should pay attention to standard ones, and large ones – to larger ones.

Five rules: how not to carry a red bag

A red handbag is a controversial accessory. He draws attention to himself and to the image of the girl. In order to evoke only admiring glances, it is worth remembering the rules derived by stylists:

1. High boots that match the red bag look too flashy. It is better to replace them with ankle boots.
2. You cannot use more than two large accessories in red. An exception is a narrow belt or small jewelry.
3. With a red bag, provocative makeup will be unnecessary.
4. The total look in red eliminates the accent created by the bag.
5. The tone of the outerwear should not match the tone of the bag.

Bright things require a cautious approach. Taking into account the experience of stylists and colorists, as well as personal taste, creating a thoughtful and unique look with a red bag is not a difficult task.
