What colour cami or pattern works with tomato red culottes?

I’ve got these culottes in a bright tomato red.

I already have them in the blue colour and love them as they’re very flattering on me.

I wear the blue ones with a white cami for holiday evenings, but what colour cami would look good with the red bottoms?

I’d even like a bit of a pattern maybe but struggling to find a colour that would look good with this shade of red.

A matching red cami or waistcoat. Red on red is a great look.

There’s a brilliant app based on the Japanese dictionary of colour which might be helpful - it’s called WS Colour.

And then there’s also a woman on insta who creates outfits based on that dictionary of colour, she’s called @theKatieHarrell. I find it really interesting, inspiring and creative and it’s given me a completely different way of life to king at colour and outfits.

See what you think!

A dark brown / mahogany or black. But I think they’re a bit Ronald McDonald tbh.

Purple - as worn by Diana posing in front of the Taj Mahal and Meghan Markle to something or other. It’s a great combo.

Depends what colours suit you, for my colouring I would go for a cream or beige, or a cream & red stripe if you can match the colour.
Black or white would also look nice too

Baby pink would be super trendy or something like the following?

I agree with baby pink (or black) but leopard print also looks amazing with red.

Thank you all so much for these ideas 🙏🏻

I adore leopard print and that was my first thought, however I unfortunately have wonky teeth, thin hair and bingo wings, I can look a bit ‘cheap’ if I’m not too careful and worried the combo of leopard and the bright red might be a bit much.

Those photo ideas look great though.
