Red is the color that never dates. It flatters every skin tone, reads expensive at any length, and works from a Tuesday office day to a wedding. The catch: red is unforgiving. A flat printed red goes orange in photos and patchy up close. Hand-painted gel red holds true color and depth. Twenty-five red designs below.
