That’s marvelous! You look great.
(And it contrasts so well with the white! Very sharp.)

There are actually some studies that suggest that red is more visible to drivers than bright yellow or other “high-viz” colors, since their brains are trained to look for things like red lights and stop signs. So you can be fashionable without having to look like you’re in some day-glo army!

I hear you about the day-glo armies. The worst place I’ve seen was London. Seemed like everyone was in high-viz, unlike Paris where no one was–not even police directing traffic.
