Just a few weeks ago I featured this red cashmere sweater from Ann Taylor, so why would I be showing it again so soon? Because in December, red is festive, but you need not resort to wearing the red sweater/black pants predictable combo…here’s another option! Pairing red with leopard is classic and chic, a perfect business casual look during the holiday season. This skirt is at least six years old, but wearing it in a different way makes it feel new… When you wear a sweater and opt not to wear a blazer, pay close attention to accessories to maintain a polished, put together look…a brushed gold necklace with a thin camel belt added just the right touches. Brown boots and belt were a softer option and a nice change from black. My tortoise shell readers with red arms looked like they were intended for this outfit – totally unplanned, yet quite fun! Final touches for the freezing cold day: my mother’s mink that I had restyled two years ago (made a HUGE difference, I highly recommend!), a wool beret, and one of my favorite scarves…

One of Ginger’s favorite ways to wear a red sweater was with winter white pants.  Super festive, especially with metallic accessories!  How about you? What’s your favorite way to style a red sweater?
