Oh, to be the lady in red. Every woman wants to be the one who turns all the heads, but even attempting to try on a head-to-toe red evening gown can be intimidating. The colour demands confidence. With wedding season on the horizon, we say it’s time to take baby steps towards introducing this power colour into your wardrobe.

This flirty silk wrap dress by local design duo Diepo is perfect for just that. Its tinge is fiery, not sultry, but will grab just as much attention.

$270. Available at Robber Boutique, 863 Queen St. W., 647-351-0724
