The power of red never goes out of style.

Fashion’s love affair with this sexy, bold colour has refused to fade because of its ability to turn a shy wallflower into a bold, daring diva.

Its many eye-catching shades are said to actually make wearers feel more confident and more attractive to onlookers, and the truly bold woman pairs it with hot pink for extra impact.

Striking on blondes, sultry on brunettes and oh so sexy on redheads (remember Jessica Rabbit), wear red and you are signalling to the world that you are not someone to be trifled with or ignored.
