One of the new trendy colours to come into the market of late is red. With its appeal and allure between both sexes, the colour red has found its way into some of the world’s leading designer houses. For men, the red shirt is not only a loud bold statement but also a hot new stylish colour to add to the wardrobe.
Nowadays, designers are opting for louder and brighter colours and as such red shirts have emerged as hot styles to follow. Designers are on the lookout for new designs to put into shirts. The basic primary colours of shirts, white and blue are losing appeal as they have now been exhausted of style and trends but with the advent of new colours such as red, more designers are now free to explore their designs in more interesting ways. The colour combinations that come with the red shirtare not only bright and elaborate but also attractive. Red is often associated with sex appeal and femininity but with the birth of the “metro” man, the traditionally feminine colours are now being used also by the men. Red is fairly new and the colour combinations are endless.
A red shirt is also a great way to make a fashion statement. For most men, red now represents power and affluence. High corporate officials now believe that red is the new colour to distinguish between the social classes. While most red shirts are appealing in only high quality materials such as silk, nylon and rayon, there are cheaper shirts made of cheaper raw materials such as cotton and polyester but are equally as stylish and trendy. There are however a few things to consider when you decide to buy a red shirt:
ØColour combination: - the most important factor to consider is colour combination. A red shirt will only look good on you if you wear it with the right colours. For instance, black and grey are good colours to combine with red. Most people tend to use more colour making them look like Christmas trees in June. Try not to enhance the red shirt but rather tone it down by combining it with dull colours.
ØAppeal: - remember that red appeals to women a lot but only when worn in the right way and in the right amount. While a red shirt might be hot, a red suit would definitely not have the same effect. Try to use less of red any where else in order to maintain the appeal of red. The less red used, the more intrigue you manage to keep and the more mysterious you will appear to be and yet with some appeal.
ØShades: - there are many different shades and hues of red shirts and many manufacturers have tried to bring out as many shades of the red shirt as possible. While red is a bright colour, you can also try out more subtle shades of red that may suit your skin colour, complexion or wardrobe. This also allows you to have a wider range of colour combinations to choose from to compliment yours.
