Solace London Red Dresses: Ruby, Crimson and Scarlet Gowns

Red ties with pink as the second colour of Solace London, after black. Coveti stocks 58 red Solace London styles, priced from $890 to $2,910 on 27 October 2026, 12 of them from Resort 2027 in true red and ruby. The label does not make a single red: it makes four named shades, and the shade changes the dress more than you might expect.

Every piece is cut in UK sizes 4 to 16, so you can shop the full Solace London edit at Coveti with the Solace London size guide open beside it. For the new season as a whole, see our Solace London Resort 2027 guide.

The Solace London red shades

The brand names its reds by depth. True red and scarlet are bright, clean reds that look best under evening light. Crimson red sits a little deeper and cooler. Ruby is the darkest, close to wine, and it reads almost as a neutral at night. If you are unsure which suits you, ruby is the easiest to wear and the true red the most dramatic.

The shades in stock at Coveti, with the number of styles in each: red (29), crimson red (14), ruby (11), scarlet (4).

How to wear Solace London in red

Red is a confident choice for a wedding guest, a gala and a Christmas party, and a good one for a photographed event, because it holds its colour on camera. Keep everything else quiet: nude, black and metallic sandals, gold jewellery for true red, silver for ruby. A red lip only works when it matches the dress exactly, so most stylists leave the lip neutral.

The one occasion to think twice about is a wedding in a culture where red is the bride’s colour, which includes many Chinese and South Asian weddings. Ruby is the safer shade there, and a quick word with the couple settles it. For styling detail see how to style Solace London, and for party pieces see our Solace London Christmas party dresses.

Sizing

Solace London cuts close, and the colour does not change the fit. On boned, low-stretch styles the brand suggests your usual UK size, going up one if you fall between two; on stretch knit crepe styles it suggests going down one for a closer fit. Models on the product pages stand between 177 and 182 cm and wear a UK 6, so most floor-length styles need heels and a hem. The Solace London size guide has the full body chart.
