Dress Inspiration : Valentines’ Day

With Valentines’ Day coming up we wanted to bring you some dress inspiration to give you the confidence to ‘wow’ your date for the night.

To give you a bit of background for your dress inspiration, Valentines’ Day originated as a Western Christian liturgical feast day honoring one more early named saints named Valentinus. Valentines’ day first became associated with the romance in 18th century where Europeans gave each other keys as a symbol to unlock the giver’s heart.

 

 

It then evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, chocolates and sending greeting cards.

What to wear for your Valentines’ day date, here’s some dress inspiration and ideas :

 

Flirty Ruffle Skirts – bored of opting for your usual style dress ? Then why not try a ruffle skirt. Team this item with a sparkly top or satin shirt and a collar necklace to get your date’s heart racing.

 

 

Lady Like Lace – a lace dress does not have to scream bridal. Lace is a trend that seems to want to stay permanently. Find some dress inspiration from these …

 

 

Head to toe red – embrace the theme and dare to wear red from head to toe. Reason ? Why not, after all it’s Valentines’ Day !

 

 

Crop tops –  want to show a bit of skin in a tasteful feminine way, then the crop top is the way to go. For a trendy look, team it with a high waisted shirt and some platform heels.

 

 

Whimsical Prints – have fun with the Valentine’s theme but keep away from the bright colours and opt for richer hues.

 

 

LBD – this little dress needs no further explaination. If you have one that makes you feel like a million bucks, then wear it !

 

 

Thigh High Slits – this trend was all over the red carpets last year. Added benefit is that it makes like you have legs for days !

 

 

Sultry slips – these type of dresses come and go out of fashion every ten or so years. Easy to wear and oh so glamourous, you are sure to make your date blush.
