If there’s one article of clothing that always, without fail, looks majorly steamy, it’s a red dress. And while there are speculations (and actual, legitimate scientific studies, if you can believe) that wearing red invokes some sort of biological response, the reasons why the color is associated with sex-appeal are largely unknown. Regardless, we, as a society, see red clothing and immediately get ~sultry~ vibes. There’s just no denying it. Red! Dresses! Are! Sexy! Thankfully, plus-size red dresses abound—so you might as well lean into the societal phenomenon and treat yourself.
Of course, you don’t even have to go full-on sexy with it. Yes, there are plenty of red bodycon and mini dresses that are perfect for spending the night downtown with your BFFs, dancing it out at the club. But (!) that’s not your only option! There are also an abundance of red dresses you could wear to dinner with your family or as a festive holiday look. No matter the event, you can rock a red dress however you want.
And quite frankly, red dresses have a special place in the holiday season. They fit with the theme of the holidays (Red and green are classic Christmas colors, obviously.) but can be worn long after New Year’s Eve, too. If you’re searching for the ideal sexy winter dress, opting for something in a red hue is a ridiculously smart choice. Having a dress you can wear from winter through spring? Sounds good to us.
This holiday season—and far beyond—do yourself a favor and snag a few plus-size red dresses. You’ll look red hot (hehe) at every soiree, in every family photo, or even just on your Instagram feed, but you’ll still be able to wear these beauts once the festivities die down as well. It’s a win-win situation of the sexiest variety—and we’ll definitely be taking advantage.
