Berry, Black Cherry, Bordeaux, Merlot – dark reds are Winter 2013’s paramount colour. Here’s how to introduce this shade into your wardrobe.
Why we love this colour
Deep sultry reds have become a plus size winter staple, and it’s no wonder – versatile and flattering, dark reds look good on just about anyone. A dress or a coat in merlot will look sophisticated and professional at the office and alluring for evening occasions, depending on the accessories you choose.
Plus Size outfits for every occasion
The Modern Curve Autumn collection features several gorgeous styles in dark red. We’ve rounded up our favourites with a suggestion on where to wear each.
Wear this anywhere

Office Must-Have

The Sara Ponti Tipped Blazer looks fantastic paired with a black top and tailored pants. Pair with wine-coloured heels for extra impact.
After work drinks

The beaded collar on this Sara Contrast Trim Blouse is perfectly on-trend, and the contrasting trim adds a bit of drama to the ensemble.
Date night

Look your best in this stunning Tiered Lace Dress from Sara. The fine bead detailing makes this dress look like it’s shimmering in candlelight – perfect!
Evening Gala

This Lace bodice dress features an on-trend peplum and has 3/4 sleeves perfect for winter. Team with jewellery in silver or rose-gold for a sophisticated evening look.
Lounging around

A comfy cardi is a winter must-have. We love the Sara Cardigan Coat in Cherry – it’s warm, vibrant and easy to dress up or down (just add a stylish scarf for a less casual look).
