Colour of love...
Luke India Ramos
Personally I associate red with blood or fire but it also represent passion and romance, which is synonymous to romantic love. In school, we all wore red and white on Valentine's Day, every year, without fail. As I grew older and realised black was my happy colour, I only accessorized with red lipstick or accessories. Valentine's Day is one of the most anticipated days of the year by those in love or hoping to finally have a secret admirer. As cliche as it might be, a lot of engagements and weddings do happen on this day hence your outfit is very important, almost as important as the gift you're getting your loved one.
I've asked the amazing Luke Ramos, a gender-fluid blogger, model and stylist from Cape Town to showcase some looks for Valentine's Day and we're starting off with a head-to-toe red look (well except for the shoes) Makeup features a bold brow, subtle eye makeup and a bold red lip paired with a slicked back hairstyle.
The second look is my favorite by far as it features flower crowns and tulle. The tulle skirt and culottes is absolutely gorgeous and quite fashion forward. Paired with artificial flowers sewn in, it's a definite winner. The flower crown adds to the overall ethereal feel this look exudes with the nude heels being the perfect final touch. Eye makeup was kept quite natural with a strong brow and plum lips.
The final look is a mixture of the first two looks i..e red and floral with a Asian feel to it. We see the pants of the first look paired with a long sleeved turtleneck shirt and kimono-inspired floral shirt (which is actually Luke's grandmother's nightgown). The look is paired with slicked back hair, minimal makeup and nude shoes to assist the turtleneck in breaking the red and accenting the flowers on the shirt.
These are a few outfit ideas for Valentine's date night but you're not limited to a certain colour palette.
