Whatever your plans are this Valentine’s Day, there’s one thing the girl in us looks forward to: dolling up. Of course, every couple celebrates their love differently, with some preferring to cozy up at home and end the movie with a good old classic film while others are inclined to spoil themselves with fine dining in the heart of the city. We know you’ve got plenty to worry about already when it comes to venues so we want to ease your mental burden by presenting to you some styling ideas depending on what type of date you’ll be having.
1. Fine Dining
Fine dining is all about looking classy, glamorous and sophisticated. This your night to shine, think celebrity red carpet looks such as red lips, plenty of lace and flowy chiffon dresses which will make his heart thump from the moment he picks you up. Choose a gorgeous cocktail dress but not an elaborate gown that’s usually reserved for private functions or weddings unless he has the whole restaurant booked just for you. Yes, you may call yourself princess.
2. Picnic Under The Stars
A bottle of champagne, a basketful of handpicked goodies and your man, all under a blanket of stars with the ocean at your feet. Sounds good, we thinks so too! For a picnic out by the beach or at the park, put on a summery dress and channel that rockabilly festival vibe. Wear a full skirt that will flounce about as you and your honey take a walk along the water’s edge and don’t forget a cardigan or shawl in case it gets chilly!
3. Quirky & Fun
You’re both the unconventional couple, preferring to organize a series of surprises for each other ala The Amazing Race style as you both race across the city from the funfair, to a little diner across town, to prawn fishing and finally ending it with dessert at a little quaint eatery that only the both of you know about. For the free spirited girl in you, we recommend dresses with quirky patterns and prints
4. Somewhere Chilly
It comes as no surprise that Genting Highlands and Cameron Highlands are popular dating spots because there’s just something about chilly weather that brings people together, proximity wise that is. Unfortunately, it’s not a very smart idea to show too much skin because shivering isn’t exactly very attractive but then again, that way he’ll want to warm you up with plenty of hugs. Long sleeved dresses and cardigans can look preppy and cute so be practical!
5. Intimate at Home
Having a homecooked, candlelight dinner would mean that you both can be all over each other without worrying what others might think. The perks? Well, you can dress to kill without worrying if it’s too sexy for the public eye. Think sheer, think camisole slips, barebacks and deep Vs. Red as everyone knows stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing, up north and well, down south.
