In July, Vogue declared that red is making a triumphant return for AW23. Not surprising considering the timeless power of this color. The LRD, or Red Midi Dress, is the epitome of elegance and sophistication, making it a must-have for your wardrobe this season.
On the AW23 catwalks, fashion lovers were treated to a stunning array of red hues including crimson, maroon and ruby. Leading fashion houses such as Gucci, Valentino, D&G and Fendi showcased LRD’s versatility and timeless appeal.
Marie Claire also joined the chorus stating “Red is the biggest color trend of fall 2023‘. Their nod to Dorothy’s ruby slippers from “The Wizard of Oz” adds a touch of nostalgia while highlighting another classic trend that’s making a comeback and is a must-have this season: the Mary Jane shoe!

According Forbesin color psychologyred evokes the greatest emotions of any color, “This intense color has more psychological and emotional connections than any other color in the spectrum.”
The perfect party dress
When it came time to pick out an outfit for my friend’s fall wedding, there was no doubt in my mind – it had to be red. The wedding venue, a quaint barn decorated with pumpkins, lit by candlelight and with chandeliers and fire pits, was a sight to behold. It was the embodiment of the rich and vibrant colors of autumn.
As a sustainable fashion enthusiast, I decided to repurpose my favorite red midi dress from Vesper 247. This dress features a scoop neck, flattering fit, low back and thigh slit – the epitome of elegance.
While I may not always be the most confident person, you just can’t wear a dress like that and be shy. So I took a few deep breaths, drank some wine for a touch of Dutch courage, and embraced the moment.
