Choosing Your Perfect Red Tee

A red T-shirt is the sexy, colorful sibling of the classic white, giving any ensemble a glow that warms up your skin tone. Turn up the heat with a red tee that flatters you and learn how to style it up and down.

Swap out your boring neutral T-shirts for a fiery red option. Set off your complexion with the right red and you’ll look blazing hot.

Your Skin Tone: Fair

Your Red Tee: Blue-Red

If you’re pale and you burn easily, the cool undertones of your skin need a cool red to complement them. A red with a blue base without any orange looks crisp and clean. Pairing this intense shade with a fresh white bottom, like a pleated skirt or bleached denim, alongside streetwise white high-top sneakers offers an updated preppy look that avoids looking too country club.

Your Skin Tone: Medium

Your Red Tee: Tomato

Your tanned skin has warm undertones, so choosing a tomato red with an orange tint for your tee looks sweet, not garish.This red has enough of a yellow tinge that pairing it with green doesn’t look like a holiday party outfit. Experiment by layering your tomato red tee with medium-wash denim and a pair of jade-green shoes.

Your Skin Tone: Deep

Your Red Tee: Garnet

Play up the richness of your skin with a T-shirt in a sumptuous jewel tone. Worn in a striped version, a garnet-colored tee looks French chic tucked into a plisse navy midi skirt with flat leather sandals and a sun hat. Slip into this ensemble and you’ll be ready for a stroll along the Seine.

Skip the neutrals and warm up to a red tee that brings out the best in your coloring.

A red tee fuels the hottest looks.
