Get perfect on a romantic date
Love is in the air! Most of us must be busy planning our outfits by this time of the month, which is the fun part about Valentine’s Day for women. With a new trend in the market every other day, it’s very easy to get misled or carried away in the wave of fashion. While most of us have a fair idea of what the various options are, Bhavya Chawla, Chief Stylist, Voonik. com, says these things are an absolute no- no this Valentine’s.
Sneakers: We understand that sneakers are the most happening footwear at this moment, but your date probably won’t like them. A pair of nice heels makes it look like you have put in some effort to dress up. If you are not comfortable with heels for the entire evening, opt for pointy- toed ballet flats instead.
Too much glitter: Too many big sequins or too sparkly a dress may be way over the top for Valentine’s Day and will make you look more appropriate for the New Year Eve. Opt for dresses with shimmer undertones or ones with sequins as a highlight element.
Outfits you have worn before with your date: If you are in a steady relationship, Valentine's Day will be about spicing things up, and a dress that you have already worn will not add that element of surprise for him. Wear something that he has never seen before to make sure that he can’t take his eyes off you all day.
Big heart prints: Heart prints on tees, sweatshirts and dresses are ultra cute! However, as the rule goes, do not overdo it. Big heart prints on dresses will make you look tacky instead of cute. This may also have a negative impact on the ‘ not- so- romantic’ kind of dates. Try to avoid multiple cluttered hearts as well just as much as you would avoid the big ones.
Oversized clothing: Again, they are one of the hottest trends of the season, but let's leave this for the remaining 364 days of the year. Avoid boyfriend jeans, drop shoulder dresses, long line shrugs and everything loose for this day. This might actually be a welcome change for your date if you were otherwise into the whole oversized trend.
Festive red: Yes, red is the colour of love, but avoid wearing red from top to bottom if you do not wish to be nicknamed ‘ Little Red Riding Hood’. If you wear a bright red dress, do not wear red lipstick as well. Similarly, long red dresses with red heels are an absolute no.
Cheap heart jewellery: We know hearts symbolise love and look cute when done correct. To get it right, do not wear artificial looking metal heart lockets, plastic heart jewellery or bracelets with several heart charms. Opt for more elegant- looking jewellery and if you are particular about heart jewellery, make sure the quality is good.
