Hi! I'm not a modshot person (shy on that front), but I can tempt you with some crazy glove & mitten photos I posted last year.
I bought the matching red Max Mara leather gloves. I also bought the white Teddy mittens (they do not come in a matching red)... I love the Teddy mittens.
You can see the red Manuela sleeves in the photo to give you an idea of the shade. The red shade looks more like the photo with the white mittens, even a bit deeper (I am terrible at taking good photos).
I agree with you... red is a neutral, especially when it comes to coats. A classic.
I say go for the red Manuela! Maybe order one, and try it on in the comfort of your home. I do think you will love it!
