Cupid, get your arrows ready. It’s nearly Valentine’s Day. Call us old school, but nothing puts a spark in the holiday like red-hued fashions. Red is, after all, the color of love and passion, albeit representing, historically, the martyred blood of St. Valentine himself. Here are some of our favorite, festive red looks to spring on your sweetheart.
Dress it Up
Depending upon your evening plans, a sexy red dress is a sensation on this holiday or any day, really. Shorter, knee length dresses are universally flattering. Avoid pairing the dress with a matching red bag or heels. It can get far too “matchy-matchy” that way. We suggest a simple nude pair of heels so the focus is on the red dress and your face.
Pants Please
If you prefer to go a little less girlie with your red, a pair of red pants will work wonders. From red denim to silken wide-legged trousers, choose from an enormous variety of red tones from burgundy to wine and even into the pinker shades of the color.
Buttoned Up
Consider a soft red cashmere sweater, which would add just the right amount of luxe to an otherwise casual Valentine’s getup. Or a silken red button up blouse. Tuck it into a pair of slim fitting black trousers and it’s an unbeatable, comfortable way to spend the holiday.
Accessorize
A little black dress might just fit the mood. In which case, pair your sexy onyx with killer red stilettos, red high heel boots or, even, a cropped red leather jacket. And don’t forget to don a sweet little red clutch bag, ruby-toned earrings and deep red lip stain. And, of course, it wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without some sexy, red matching undergarments. After all, there’s no shortage of red teddies, bras and panty sets this time of year.
He won’t be able to resist you in red.
