What to wear on Valentine Day
Contributor January 29th, 2011
Valentine’s Day is a very special day that comes once a year. A lot of people make plans for Valentines to make their loved one feel more special. Whether you are going on a night out with your boyfriend, a casual date or dinner with your girl friends, there is always the pressure to look very hot and beautiful during this Valentine’s Day. If you’re single, don’t stay home in your pyjamas. Go out and celebrate as Valentine’s Day can remind you that you can do better without a man, and you can flirt with anyone. Whatever your status may be on the 14th of February, it cannot be denied that people enjoy being noticed and what we wear can enormously influence how other people will see us.
So, if you’re a girl planning a romantic dinner who wants her man to skip dessert, wear a jaw-dropping dress style that will accentuate your assets and narrow your waist.
Trumpet style dresses never fail to give fantastic hourglass especially when paired with a cap or accentuated sleeve or shoulder. Also, pencil style is always very sexy and can make any woman look sleek and trim. However, if you are not comfortable with the tight fit of pencil styles, you can always go for the less restricted A-line. Imagine the 50s prom style where women wear skirts with a petticoat and alluring strapless tops.
If you want heads turn to your direction as soon as you open the restaurant, do for decolte necklines or sexy slit pencils but not both together. You can reveal one are of your body without looking trashy by concealing other parts. Mermaid and maxi dresses in violet, plum or aqua are incredibly elegant and trendy. Wearing bright red mermaid can make you look like you’re trying too hard which turns off a lot of men and women alike. Color and fabric can give you a different look and a feeling of excitement so go for dresses, tops and skirts in luxurious silks in different romantic colors as chocolate, wine, blush, and everyone’s favorite, black.
As for men, everything is very simple or so you think. Dressing up for Valentine’s Day does not necessitate that you wear your red suit with your pink undershirt. That is so old school. Nowadays, while casual attire are generally accepted, that does not mean that you can get away with you usual blue jeans and t-shirts. Valentine’s Day call for a bit of romance through formality.
If you’re going out on a special date with your loved one in an expensive restaurant, make sure you prepare your best suit. Do not forget to wear a tie that will give out the message or image that you want to project. Silk ties always hint sophistication especially if paired with a handsome pair of cufflinks. Striped ties make you look bold while being fun and neckties in solid geometric patterns simply shows your subdued but otherwise boisterous personality.
