Valentine’s Day Date Outfit Tips

Open Back Dresses

These dresses are classy and formal with a sexy twist. Usually the fronts of these dresses are fully covered and look quite plain, but it’s the back that’s bare! For Valentine’s Day most girls would get the back part with the shape of a heart to fit the Valentine’s Day theme. In public to tone down the dress you can easily pair a cozy cardigan with the dress. Since the dress is basic in the front you and easily embellish your dress with bold statement jewelry. This dress is romantic, classy, and sexy all at the same time. What more could a girl ask for when trying to look extra special for her special someone?

Red Lips

Red lips are a romantic staple and add a sultry point to your lips. For dates it’s better to choose a matte lip stick or a lip tint because a regular lip stick can fade easily or wear off over time. A tip for keeping your lip colors from fading and lasting a very long time, even longer than a lip tint, is the Anna Sui lip top coat. This top coat goes over your lips like a regular gloss but immediately after you put it on your lip stick will remain on your lips and the color will not transfer to any surface.

Show Stopper Heels

Heels are essential to all date outfits. They add that last bit of pop and flair to your outfit. For date nights it’s better to wear heels that are stylish but comfortable. Being in foot pain on a date isn’t fun for you or your date. If you feel that you may be standing for a while and chose to wear heels that are meant for show and not comfort make sure to buy gel insoles to lessen the discomfort. There is also another option which is a shoe pack that is portable and easy to fit into any regular sized purse. These packs include two shoe flats that you can slip on and wear as shoes if your feet are feeling uncomfortable. Now instead of deciding if you want to walk in discomfort for an extended time or walk barefoot on a public sidewalk, now you have the option to slip on these flats without jeopardizing your outfit.
