Chicago women are shaking off the winter chill with floor-length dresses in riveting crimson. Take a cue from labels like Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi and Versace, which embraced all things red with cutout dresses, long skirts and patterned frocks, respectively, in their Winter 2016 collections. Exude classic Hollywood glamour in a strapless satin gown, or go asymmetrical with a one-shoulder caped number. With such a bold pop of color, you’ll be sure to bring the heat this holiday season.
