What do you think of when you see the colour red? Danger, passion, anger, love, energy or even radiance?
As
far as colours on the spectrum go, red has many powerful connotations,
so it's hardly a coincidence that many of the world's leading ladies (or
their stylists) encourage them to wear the vibrant shade.
Now don't get us wrong, it certainly takes a confident lady to wear such a bold hue, especially head to toe.
This
is probably why you can't help relating the female wearer to thoughts
of independence and strength- a lady who wants to get noticed rather
than sinking into the background like a colour-shy wallflower.
According to colourpsychology.org: “Red is arguably the most vibrant colour on the colour wheel.
“It is attention-getting and induces a sense of power and excitement.”
Pretty powerful stuff, if we do say so.
Countless
psychological experiments have also been conducted to prove the effects
of wearing red. Most have confirmed that it increases attractiveness
and sex appeal too.
So it's easy to see why many the of world's
leading ladies reach straight for this striking shade on public
appearances. Who'd have thought a simple colour choice could say so
much...

certainly isn't shy about making sure she gets noticed, often opting
for a bold hue during public presidential outings. This bright red coat
dress by New York designer Alice Roi was not only a striking choice for
her husband's meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, but with its cinched in waist and flared skirt also proves the bold hue can look extremely elegant too.
Prime Minister Theresa May

sure is a lady who should be admired for her colour wearing confidence.
Her wardrobe is bursting full of bold red pieces and we regularly see
her sporting the shade head to toe.
The 60 year old was even
seen wearing one of her favourite red Amanda Wakeley suits to meet
President Trump for the first time- a savvy choice considering the world
was watching her every move.

Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton

Not only does it ensure all eyes on her (for the right reasons of course), the flattering shade makes Kate ooze radiance, glamour and most of all confidence.
This two piece skirt suit by Italian designer Luisa Spagnoli will be remembered on her for years to come.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon
Nicola Sturgeon turned to a bold red suit for her big announcement of plans for a second Scottish referendum Maybe something can be said for Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's love for wearing the shade too? This is a politician who wants to assert her authority and remain in the limelight.
In a suit like this there's no way she can fade into the background. For Sturgeon red is the perfect colour choice when the cameras are out.
Fashion designer Victoria Beckham

recognises the power of wearing a punchy hue more than most. Not only
does she assert the fact she has her finger on the fashion pulse in this
knitted midi dress, she displays an enviable amount of confidence when
it comes to her style choices. This is a woman who is very comfortable
in her very own designer shoes...
