Red is perceived by many people to be the color of passion and love. In some cultures, it also signifies wealth and prosperity and red colored clothes are worn on occasions to symbolize the presence of wealth. On the other hand, red is also the color of danger or to indicate the need to stop as in the red light on the traffic signals.
As such, red heels can indicate a position of power and even sex appeal. When you wear a black suit with black heels the look is formal and very corporate. Contrast this with the same black suit but with red high heels. The signal it gives out is that of confidence in a formal setting. For that reason, red high heels are one of the most alluring combinations of color and a style of women's shoes on the market today.
Of course there are different types of high heels. You can find closed toed heels as well as strappy heels for all types of occasions. You will essentially find that strappy versions are much more suited to semi-formal occasions such as dinner dates, etc. Closed types are much more of a power statement and is often worn by very confident women to the office. Peep-toe high heels are another option for those who want the look to be a bit more toned down. Again, the shade of red one wears also contributes to the impact of the look. In fact, even the material the shoe is made of makes a difference to the color. A red patent leather shoe has a high gloss and will stand out very distinctly whereas the same shade of red in suede will have a much softer look.
Red heels can be very flattering when worn with many colors. Wearing a red strappy stiletto for a night at the opera or theater will impart a very sophisticated look to any outfit you are wearing that is complimentary to red. You can wear these heels with skirt suits, pant suits, dresses, gown and such. From flowing materials to stiffer ones like organza, the outfits made of these materials will look perfect with red heels.
There are also high heels with crystals and other embellishments such as pearls and ribbons. You can also find red high heeled wedding shoes that look fabulous when paired with a bridal gown that has red embroidery or even iridescent little buttons on them. Some brides have been known to pair a red pair of high heels with a white wedding dress to make a statement or just to show a bit of their personality whilst having a 'white wedding'. Bridesmaids can also wear red high heels to provide a bold contrast to their bridesmaids' outfits. It can be worn with pink or even black bridesmaids' outfits.
Red heels are a perfect complement to many outfits worn both on formal as well as non-formal occasions. They can enhance the look of an outfit and bring some element of fun into the attire. Every woman should have a pair of red high heels in her collection to embrace the color and to have fun with it.
