Three looks for Valentine’s Day: knock them dead on 14 February
We know that you don’t need to wait for 14 February to receive a gift or have a romantic dinner with your better half. But we also know that St Valentine’s Day is a special date for some couples, so here are three outfits for Valentine’s Day that will make you shine.
But first... four interesting facts about Valentine’s Day.
- Some people say it originated in Ancient Rome (yes, over two thousand years ago). In Roman times, it was a pagan fertility festival called Lupercalia. It was quite violent towards women (who were beaten because it was believed this aided fertility). These practices were prohibited in 496 and 14 February officially became St Valentine’s Day
- Other theories say that in Nordic countries, birds mated in February, which was why this period was considered to be a symbol of love and procreation.
- In many countries, friendship is also celebrated, as well as romantic love.
- In fact, the American series, Parks and Recreation, elected the day before (13 February) as Galentine's Day, a day set aside for celebrating friendships between women.
Dinners are common on this date too, especially romantic dinners. Here are some ideas for your Valentine's Day looks.
Sexy look with a dress
If there’s one classic at St Valentine’s Day dinners, it's dresses. We love denim dresses (because you can get a look that's both seductive and comfortable) paired with dark ankle boots that will help create a strong contrast. Ah! And remember, you should choose transparent tights to wear with your denim dress.
Another option is knit dresses: they never fail. You can wear dark tights and high-heeled shoes with these dresses: 100% sexy.
And if you're not the dress type, remember that jumpsuits and high heels are always a top option.
