Dressing Up for the Valentine's Day

Knock him dead with this Valentine's night style guide.

Love is in the air, and no other colour that represents love better than RED. Whether you want to turn your man wild or get attention, wear RED this Valentine's Day.


How to wear a Red Dress?

- Fit is everything in a red dress. Make sure you try the dress on and walk around a little before you buy. It should fit perfectly from every angle.

- Choose a red that flatters your skin tone. There are huge varieties of red from bright, crimson to deep red. Try it against your skin tone to find out the one that suits best.

- Red is itself a sexy colour, so you can pick a simple dress and yet look hot and sexy. A red dress in chiffon looks very feminine and flatters most of the body types, satin and lycra sticks to the body and should be worn only if you have a fab body (and want to look super hot).

- Red is overpowering, so it is important to keep the rest of the things subtle with the red dress. In jewellery, avoid necklace. Just a hint of bling would be flattering and sexy. A good pair of earrings and maybe a cocktail ring or a bracelet, either of 2, would be perfect.

- Your accessories should be simple and chic. A red dress in itself is a statement piece, and you don't want to look OTT.

Shoes - colours: nude, silver, red, black; style: strappy or simple sandal, peep-toe pump or court shoes.
Bag - metallic clutch or a clutch matching your shoes (except red).

- Keep your makeup understated and subtle. If you can carry it off well, then a red lipstick and mascara should be it. Or else, wear a nude lipstick with gloss, lots of mascara and keep the other things minimalistic.

AND DON'T FORGET, red can be fun and sexy not just for dresses but innerwear too!
