Sexy red dresses for date night, parties and a gala

Red does half the work on its own, so a sexy red dress from us usually shows just one thing, a bare shoulder, a slit or a short hem, and keeps the rest covered. Most are velvet. A few are warm knits for the winter months.

Date night, a birthday or a party with friends

For a dinner date, start with our short velvet piece that covers the arms to the wrist. It’s closed on top and short below, and the velvet looks right in January with tall boots and dense tights. Keep the rest of the outfit quiet.

Birthday party in a bar? One shoulder is the move. We make that cut in velvet minis, where a single sleeve covers one arm and the other shoulder stays bare. Skip the necklace and wear one bigger earring on the open side.

Dancing all night calls for the pleated velvet midi with bare shoulders. The fine pleats move with you, and the three-quarter sleeves keep your arms comfortable in a cold hall. Pick shoes with a steady heel, since you’ll be in them for hours.

The off-shoulder velvet with dropped shoulders sits right at the knee and has a small slit. It’s the one we’d send to a birthday dinner in a restaurant. Gold or black clutch, nothing at the neck, because your collarbones are already the point.

From the office to a gala

A turtleneck sounds like the opposite of sexy. It isn’t, in red. Our rib knit turtleneck midi has a slit on the leg, and with sheer black tights and stilettos it turns into a cocktail outfit after work. The angora-blend turtleneck midi is softer and warmer, and it follows your figure closely.

There’s also a red turtleneck mini. Wear it with over-the-knee boots and only a little leg shows between hem and boot.

For a ball or an awards night, go long. Our red velvet gowns reach the floor with a slit and one sleeve, and one of them is cut from velvet with good stretch that lies smooth over the hips. The velvet midi with a slit and long sleeves sits in between. It’s warm enough for a New Year’s dinner and covered enough for one with colleagues.

Sizing is simple. Every style comes in XS to XL, and in fitted velvet or rib knit you should choose by your real measurements, not by habit.
