Why Red Should Be Your Signature Color

Some people are scared of red.
It’s loud.
It’s bold.
It takes up space.

But that’s the *point*.

Red doesn’t ask permission. It doesn’t wait to be introduced.
It walks in first.

And when you wear it—so do you.

Step One: Start Small

If red feels like too much, don’t run from it. Ease into it.
Start with a red lip.

There’s a reason red lipstick has been a power move for decades.
It’s simple. Chic. Unapologetic.
You swipe it on, and something changes.
Suddenly your jeans and tee say: “I showed up on purpose.”
Suddenly your Monday has main character energy.

Step Two: Add the Details

Next, let it show up on the edges of your life:
A pair of red sunnies from M. Bolden.
A red bag tossed over your shoulder.
A red nail on a hand that signs contracts, leads meetings, writes love letters to herself.

These little red flags? They don’t warn people off.
They signal that you know who you are.

Step Three: Own the Moment

Red isn’t just a color. It’s a decision.
So when you’re ready—“really ready”—go full-on.

A red dress.
A red blazer.
A full red monochrome look that says:
“I am the moment. I am not shrinking. And I’m not waiting to be chosen.”

Red is confidence.
Red is courage.
Red is the reminder that you don’t need to blend in to belong.

Why It Matters

At M. Bolden, we believe style is a kind of self-respect.
You get to decide how you show up.
You get to rewrite the rules.
And red?
It’s the color that tells the world you’re done playing small.

So go ahead—wear it loud.
Even if it’s just your lips at first.

Because “bold isn’t a mood—it’s a movement.”
