Linea by Louis Dell'Olio

[Daysdee]

I got into the "scarlet red" late in the game and only have the pants no matching top of any kind.  I see the velvet top in scarlet red is available now in my size, but I don't know if that would be a good match and how often I would wear velvet.  I'm short and I like the monochromatic look.  The pants are beautiful and I won't return them--will wear them with black or white, etc. if I have to.   Or maybe I can find a print somewhere that will look good with the red pants.  I also got the pants in black and grey and I have a lot of Linea, but this fabric is certainly one of his best.

a dark grey would look good.

I've worn my dark forest green TN and my Dk forest Green Big Deal leather jacket with my red seed bead necklace and red bootie to a party and I think it looked great. I plain on wearing it with a navy blazer, white TN, and gold fish necklace too.

I pair my pants with a scarlet red WK sweater (no longer available) or the black top with the embroidered sleeves. The red color is in the embroidery.

Navy would work with the red pants too.

Susan Graver has a velvet jacket in a paisley and flower pattern that has red in it.

a black sweater or blouse

I also think the violet V-neck swing WK would look fabulous with the red and red heels and accessories. It's a little bold but I love red and purples together.

I think this is a great red pants outfit (I just got my first pair of red pants too). I would try and find wonderful pieces from Louis to copy this look.

I'm very fond of red and camel worn together. If you have any of this year's caramel, consider pairing these colors. The new caramel is such a rich tone and complimentary with your gray and black pants too.

I like the longer open front cardi, which Louis featured again last night, in caramel paired with a tie front blouse I own in a soft black and white vertical print with the red pants. I can accessorize with red, caramel, (British tan or saddle works well) or black. 

You mention the velvet top, are you looking for a dressier outfit or just considering a column of color due to your height? I'm under 5'2" and break up colors and wear one top to bottom, each successfully. Personally, I like to frequently match my shoes to my pant color to avoid that break which can cut the visual line at the ankle. There's so much you can do with the red pant, please feel free to share any other specifics you have in mind, ie casual to dressy. We're full of ideas you might like. Shop your closet too. ♡♡♡
