Which red shade is the best for Summer women? - 30 something Urban Girl (2024)

In the past few days everywhere I see I find articles about the upcoming Valentine’s Day with red or sexy dresses. So I’ve got the idea to create posts about which red shade the best for each seasonal color palettes of course, with pretty outfit tips.

I know some women don’t like wearing red because they feel that this bright shade is too bold and doesn’t fit their personalities.
