A long time ago, I ordered a red pantsuit but the jacket didn’t fit. I wondered whether to keep just the pants and my sister said, “Who needs red pants?” But I didn’t send them back, and I’m glad I kept them.

So in the spirit of helping you to make them as versatile as possible, I have found over 20 ways to wear red pants that will make you stand out!

Sheer skirts are a trending fashion item for summer 2024, and I love them! This year is different than the sheer trends of the past, as the focus is specifically on skirts rather than dresses.
