MANILA, Philippines - Call it Spring prepares for Valentine’s Day with a new collection.
With the many V-Day date ideas out there, deciding what to do can truly be fun and exciting. Whatever your dream date might be, you should not forget to spice up your wardrobe. So, why not dare dressing up a notch higher than your usual outfit? You and your partner will definitely look like a match made in heaven.
Weekend getaway
For him: If you plan to spend the day outdoors, ditch the dark ensembles and opt for light and airy numbers. A casual button-down shirt matched with a pair of tailored shorts makes a laidback and smart impression. You don’t have to go overboard with your getup. A shirt-and-shorts combo can be quite casual, but when worn with a statement piece such as a pair of bright blue brogues, it creates an all-new look.
For her: Whether you choose to dress up or dress down, a little white dress is indeed a must-have this season because of its versatility. A pair of brown wedges lends a bohemian feel to your white garment and instantly transforms your look from boring to interesting. The added height is also a plus and because of its sturdy heel, you’ll be comfortable walking around all day long.
Dinner date
For her: Sport the season’s animal-print trend and add a touch of red to your outfit. Accents like a red blazer and a pair of sexy pumps go well with patterns and prints — the chic alternative to the usual little black dress.
For him: Try something new for a change and dare to show your adventurous side by wearing red — nothing says Valentine’s more than this. Balance a red-on-red pairing with a plaid shirt and trousers with black accents. A pair of black suede loafers breaks the monotony of a tonal outfit and instantly polishes up your dapper look.
Concert or Movie Date
For her: If going out to a concert, wear those ankle booties you’ve been wanting to wear. Choose a black boot with neon details to pair with your all-black getup and don’t forget to incorporate studs and spikes while you’re at it.
For him: Leather motorcycle boots go well with tough and edgy outfits. To push that rock and roll look into overdrive, opt for distressed denim, a raglan shirt and a denim polo
Day at the Park
For her: A stroll at the park on a lazy, laid back day is perfect if you’re the type of couple who wants to relax and lounge while enjoying the surroundings. Why not try an old school picnic date? Instead of spending the day in a crowded and noisy restaurant, pack your favorite snacks and spend the day out in the sun. Opt for light sundresses, rompers with prints or even polka dots to exude a retro vibe with polka dots. A pair of quirky T-strap shoes or lace-print pumps would make a great accent for your ’50s look.
For him: Be a heartthrob a la Grease’s Danny Zuko for an old school appeal with a vintage-looking varsity jacket worn with a two-tone leather high-top shoes. Keep things simple with a basic black tee and a pair of fitted pants.
