As February marks the start of The Heart Truth – a month long celebration of women’s heart health awareness – women everywhere are urged to wear red. As a reminder of the importance of our heart health, it’s a kind of fashion-meets-science celebration from which every woman can benefit. In fact, as Fashion Week unfolds in New York City, Mercedes-Benz devotes one entire evening (February 9th) to the Red Dress Collection - an annual fashion show of the hottest red dresses on the runway.
And while wearing a red dress of your own is the ultimate way to make your mark this month, don’t overlook the power of red accessories to bring attention to the cause, and help you look fabulous in the process!
To help you get in the spirit , here are some style suggestion on how to add a touch of a red with a touch of class!
1. Never overlook the power of a great pair of red earrings! If you choose a chandelier style, they might be all the red you need to bring attention to the cause. Wear them with the LBD, with your jeans, with a black or navy business suit and watch the color pop put all eyes on you!
2. Dorothy didn’t just discover Oz in those ruby red slippers – she gave us all a fashion tip that will last for eons of time. We’re talking red shoes – and they can make a powerful fashion statement no matter what you wear them with. If they’re red stilettos, all the better – just ask Carrie Underwood! Pair your own ruby slippers with almost any neutral color outfit for the greatest color impact.
3. The little red bag! Whether it’s a clutch, a tote, a hobo or a satchel, wearing a red bag adds a dash of panache to any outfit ! Pair it with those red shoes and/or a red belt and you’re not only making your statement about women and heart disease, you’ll be making your mark as pretty savvy fashion diva too!
4. Red tights. We know – they’re not for everyone. But if you have great legs, pair them with red or black pumps and wear them with that LBD and you’ll have a pop color statement that won’t soon be forgotten.
5. Red gloves. Michelle Obama set the trend just last month – and instantly red gloves became the “it” accessory of the moment.
6. We’re certain princess- Kate -in-waiting will singlehandedly bring back the fabulous hat as the accessory du-jour, you can get a jump start on the trend by celebrating women’s heart health month with a brand new red hat! Whether you choose a wide floppy brim (ala Jennifer Lopez), a snazzy new fedora or the subdued beret or knitted stocking cap, pair it with a black winter coat, or a denim jacket and you’ve got the look!
7. Wear red lingerie. Even if no one but you knows, let it serve as your personal reminder to take women’s heart health seriously – and to treasure the health of your heart by taking as good a care of yourself as you can!
