Deep reds can sometimes feel more fall than summer since they're so saturated and rich, and frankly they can be a bit intimidating to wear. Have you ever felt empowered when wearing red on your nails? Get that same boldness when incorporating the colour into your wardrobe this summer. Heads can't help but turn when they see a red dress, and leave the white Tee in the drawer and pair a red blouse with your denim shorts. If you prefer your red in small doses, there's always sandals, or new shades from Essie and Zoya to try.
