So, from a pleated blood-orange dress to a wine-red maxi, we culled through our favorite shops for 11 red stunners that are just as hot as the summer sun. And, no matter if you dress them up with a pair of heels or down with a jean jacket and fedora, be prepared: These picks are about to make you the center of attention.
