Being wined and dined this Valentine’s Day? Time to bring out the big fashion guns for a night of romance
Fashion for the Daytime Dream Date
Striking the right balance between casual/comfortable and flirty/sexy/cool on a daytime date is the key to feeling confident and catching his eye. If your beau is taking you to the beach or on a picnic for Valentine's Day then you have a few fashion choices depending on your mood and the vibe you want to give off!
Go girly: Keep your look ultra-feminine with lace, florals or soft and floaty fabrics in dresses, skirts, tops, shorts and pants. Then add some earthy accessories to tone it down a notch such as wooden beads, bangles, or a great pair of sandals or wedges. This look will keep things light and flirty and ensure you're comfortable enough to forget about what you're wearing and just enjoy yourself.
A hint of sexy: If you want to opt for a bit of sexiness on a daytime date, then leaving a lot to the imagination is the key without revealing it all. Try this season's long and floaty skirts but with a thigh-high split, or the sheer maxi dress with a short lining to leave a little to his imagination. A great pair of denim cut-off shorts are a fantastic way to show off a bit of leg and team with a loose-fitting tee or tank to off-set the sexiness with a touch of tomboy charm. This way you'll be ready for anything the day throws at you!
Fashion for the Red Hot Evening Date
Being wined and dined this Valentine's Day? Time to bring out the big fashion guns for a night of romance, excitement, flirtation and anticipation! For anything from cocktails to fine dining you can't go wrong with a killer dress. A safe bet is always the little black dress, but try vamping it up with a pair of red heels, metallic sandals or a bold clutch for that evening glamour allure. A delicate necklace or pair of drop earrings will draw attention to the right places - so choose carefully for the desired effect!
If ‘striking', ‘modern' or ‘individual' is more the effect you're after, then sexy or edgy separates teamed with a feminine feel are a sure-fire way to take his breath away. Try a beautifully fitted pair of cigarette pants with a killer heel - pumps or kitten heels will suffice - to lengthen the leg and draw attention to a slim ankle. Pencil skirts are another classy choice for the bottom half, hugging in all the right places but not revealing too much. A softer, feminine chemise or tank in a silk, chiffon or something equally as floaty will balance the outfit and strike the perfect balance between strong and vulnerable. Finish with a bold lip or a smokey eye, drawing attention to your best feature and enjoy feeling like the only woman in the room for Valentine's Day.
