Few fashion statements are bolder than a pair of bright red pants. The fiery pants really pop when worn with stark white as shown by Tommy Hilfiger and Hugo by Hugo Boss. Emporio Armani jazzes up a traditional gray suit jacket with red pants, while Trussardi 1911 uses red to add even more flair to a quirky denim shirt and shoes.
Let's face it: red pants can be kind of intimidating for men that aren't accustomed to taking risks in fashion. If you are among these try a red top instead. Gucci breaks up the red in a sweater with pattern, while DKNY and Marc by Marc Jacobs offer solids for basic button ups and pullovers.
Outerwear can be a good way to try wearing red. A crimson jacket takes a neutral ensemble from boring to blazing in one easy step. John Varvatos made the perfect spring jacket in a lightweight nylon with a bit of a sheen; Burberry Prorsum gives the basic pea coat some wow factor by making it in red leather; and Trussardi 1911 dares business men to take a chance by layering an intensely red coat over a suit and tie.
A little bit of red can go a long way and sometimes all you need is just a touch. John Galliano adds life to an otherwise Goth look with a red sash; Raf Simmons calls attention to a trim waistline by adding a red belt to a traditional navy suit; and Moschino uses a slim red tie to punch up a dusty color palette.
When you choose red this spring you can go big or just add an accent. No matter how small, though, his hue definitely draws attention to itself. So wear red when you want to be noticed.
