A Red Hot Holiday with Saks

This post is in partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue.

Everyone needs a little red in their closet around the holidays. This festive, happy, and eye-catching hue is just the thing to brighten December days and a holly red works on almost everyone. Go all out with a red dress, incorporate a pop of color with red heels, or light up your complexion with the perfect red lip.  Saks Fifth Avenue is a favorite destination for finding those pieces with a little extra holiday sparkle and that wed timeless style with red hot hues. I've rounded up the best red styles from Saks to get you started.

• This dress is everything. I have a pretty straight figure, but the ruching at the waist is a genius trick to give you curves and a wonderful sense of movement. Simple gold accessories like these heels and this clutch plus a little sparkly earring are all you need to complete the look.
• Not ready for full on red? This sweet cardigan embellished with red velvet bows will add festive flair to a simple pair of jeans. Perfect for an afternoon baking cookies or wrapping presents. (I just bought one and it is SO cute!)
• Manolo's iconic hangisi heels get a holiday ready update in this charming tartan version.
• If you've been very good this year put this red Max Mara wrap coat at the top of your wishlist. (Or this Valentino number! Gah!)
• These red mules are super sweet and will feel very holiday now, and can be styled for a July 4th BBQ next summer.
• Bundle up on this gorgeous oxblood red teddy coat for an evening spent caroling house to house, or for a glam apres ski moment.
• This satin maxi skirt has the feel of my dress but is much more versatile. Style it with a sweater and pumps for a dinner date, or a glam halter top for a December gala.
• These patent leather flats are the perfect pop of color as you run around town finishing last minute holiday to dos.
• A simple red cardigan is a four season staple, drape it over your shoulders with a slip dress now, and pair with shorts later.
