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!

RED is the NEW BLACK - Winter Coats

Red Coats stole limelight from the classic black this Winter. A red coat can add new life to neutral and monochromatic clothing. It's a piece that'll make you feel good every time you put it on and is a must-have to bring some colour in this downturn. Red will be trendy for long as it looks cute, feminine and youthful.

The Celebrities have been doing their best to flaunt their red coats from street to red carpet, day and evening. I am loving their red-hot look, a chic coat is the ultimate cold weather accessory.

Check out my favourite celeb styles......

Katherine Heigl (left) and Heidi Montag (right)
.
Like it for the day on Katherine while Heidi's night pick looks fab too.

.
.
Nicole never gives a miss. She looked stylish and stayed cosy warm in the bright red coat, a slouchy black beanie, skinny black jeans and black stiletto Louboutins at Beverly Hills. I think she wears the red coat best. What do you think?

.

Eva Longoria Parker at New Year's Eve
.
The Hollywood is all Red while the Bollywood girls are yet to showcase this trend.

Add a splash to colour with a red coat. And trust me a classy style in red will never go out of fashion. It would be a smart winter investment.

How to wear?
My favourite style is to throw a red jacket over anything (black or grey) with black opaque tights and black pumps. You sure will turn heads.
.
Red Coat Buying Guide
- choose a well-fitted coat with smart cuts. The style, cut and fit in a red coat is very important. A wrong choice can make up look like a Santa Claus.
- Choose a simple silhouette like A-line.
- Buy a good quality red coat, you can go away with a budget black coat, but not Red. The poor quality would show and it would look rather gawkish.
