  • Valentine special

    Valentine special

    FEBRUARY 14 seems to send the entire world into frenzied emotion. We panic about what exactly to get for our loved ones and what to wear to mark the occasion. Do you really give any thought to what to wear? Ladies, are you prepared for this most romantic of all days and nights? Have you got the chic, simple and perfect dress for today? If not, now is the time to start thinking about it.

    Though this special day is not always on everybody’s agenda, for those who choose to celebrate Valentine’s Day, here are a few suggestions of what to wear to look good; whether you are planning a casual date or a formal night out. Since time immemorial, red dresses have always been deemed as perfect Valentine’s Day dresses. Hot red, pink or fuchsia (soft) pink drape tops with jeans trousers will look great for casuals. Ladies, ensure that you are comfortable. There should be no extremely high heels for lunch or daytime event, possibly you may do a lot of walking (shopping, strolling arms in arms etc) and therefore avoid wearing high heels, so that you can go casual for daytime events with your special ones. Or dress up and be a bit on the blink-blink (glamorous) side for dinner or night out.
