Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Want to paint the town red? No color makes a bolder statement (if we do say so ourselves). Here are five accessories to get you started.

Under cover

Pinstripes aren’t just for suits anymore. Stand out–and stay dry — with this classic design. $65, tray6.com

Get your kicks

High praise to whoever decided ballet flats were in this season. We love these Sam Edelman polka dot flats — they’re cute and comfy.

$80, lorisshoes.com

Simply red

Like things that are limited edition? (You know who you are.) Cultivate your exclusivity and be charitable at the same time; $10 from every purchase of this special-edition Nano goes toward the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.

$199 to $249, apple.com

In the bag

The problem with that old duffel? It still smells like the gym long after the workout has ended. This bag has a removable, washable pouch to separate sweats from streets. It also has pockets for water, mp3 players, cell phones, and that elusive gym pass.

$62, Lululemon, 900 N. Michigan Ave., 312-951-5923; 2104 N. Halsted St.; 773-883-8860. Or call 877-263-9300.

Watch it

Keep time in style with this funky, chunky women’s watch that is part bracelet, part watch.

$85, fossil.com
