Top Six Valentine’s Day looks By Ray Styles

Valentine’s Day is a day dedicated to celebrate those you hold close to your heart; not just your lovers but your friends and family and just like any type of celebration you’ve got to look your best.  So whether you’re out for dinner, painting, wine tasting or even dancing with your lover or the girls, my top six Valentine’s Day looks are suitable for whichever setting you find yourself in.

1)    The traditional red number – the colour red is highly associated with valentine’s day, it’s rare to find someone not wearing red on this day. However people tend to go overboard with the “red”; with red dress, red heels, and red purse even red faces. Here is my how to red without looking like a cherry tomato. Mix the colour, team your red with black, gold and white. Keep the red subtle and sultry, challenge the norm, team your red dress with knee length gladiator boots, this is guaranteed to have your lover drooling or even secure some numbers on your night out with the girls.

2)    Keep it silky smooth – Whoever told you lingerie is only for the bedroom clearly isn’t adventurous. Make jaws drop in lingerie inspired outfits; including silky dresses, tops and shorts. However it’s so easy to get it wrong, keep it simple and chic by opting for pastel coloured outfits; stray far from the bright pinks and trashy red and lace. Team your pastels with black; you can never go wrong with black.  Add a long coat for a classy and relaxed look.

3)    Wintery floral – It might be winter but who said you can’t wear floral? Dazzle your date in a chic floral number. Be subtle with it and teamed with neutral colours such as white, nude, cream and soft pastels. Go easy on the accessories as your outfit is already a big deal; try simple earrings or rings to complete it.

4)    Smartly sexy – smart can be sexy. You don’t have to bare all to wow your lover; as a matter of fact leaving more to the imagination is must, it builds the anticipation for your lover. Turn heads with a tailored trouser teamed with a bandeau, not only does the tailored trousers turn heads it also gives off the illusion of longer legs or stand out in a long coat and sexy pumps. Accessories as much as you want and play with colours.

5)    Denim – I know denim seems like an everyday look and you might want to switch things up for this special day but trust me, you can never go wrong with denim! There’s a variety you can choose from; ranging from boyfriend jeans to lightly ripped jeans or high waist jeans.   Combine your denim with shirts, jumpers or crops; dress up your denim with a range of footwear such as ankle boots, pumps, and flatform or platform heels. Add a leather coat for the ultimate chic look.

6)    Leather/ wet look trousers – The leather or wet look trousers is dressy enough for all types of outing. Wow the crowd in your daring leather trousers combined with a pastel or dark coloured shirt, team your look with gold accessories and pumps. Complete your outfit with a fur coat or gillet.

I hope my top six looks has inspired/ given you an idea for the 14^th of February.
