    Yes you can. I would recommend wearing yellowy-gold accessories if you're wearing a warmer shade of red, and silver accessories if you're wearing a cooler shade of red.

    Any skin tone can wear red, but make sure you pick the right shade for your skin tone.
  • Question
    What color accessories should I pair with a red dress?
    Community Answer
    Typically, you would want to avoid red accessories when wearing red, so as to avoid wearing too much. White is a nice color against the boldness of the red, and warm colors such as orange or yellow look nice with red, too. Black is also a good choice.

    Can I wear red V-shaped, knee-length dress with white and nude stamped sandals to a graduation ceremony?
    Community Answer
    You can, and it will look awesome as long as the sandals aren't too strappy; sometimes less is more.
