Fashion Cents: 3 Tips for Wearing Red

--By Kimberly Turner

Red is the season's hottest color trend and yet, even the trendiest of us find it hard to wear. Well, I've got three tips for wearing this color well:

1. Break it up! It's true...too much of a good thing can be bad for you. Use an accessory like a belt to break up that red dress. It will reduce it's impact.



2. Let it pop! Yes, accessorize with red and it can add a powerful pop of color to a basic outfit.



3. Tone it down! Red comes in a variety of shades. You can choose a shade that works more appropriately with your skin tone, style and the other items in your wardrobe.

Now check out the video to see how I rock red.
