Double down on denim for a look that’s as cool as it is comfortable.
When it comes to versatility, comfort and laid-back cool, denim can’t be beaten. Considering its universal appeal, it’s not surprising that wearing denim with more denim is a trend that’s come back into fashion. It can be tricky to pull off though, so take our advice to look hot without trying too hard.
Go for contrast
Keep the look casual and cool with denims that are visibly different, like blues with shades of grey or black. Once you’ve mastered the basic look try breaking it up with printed T-shirts and other interesting pieces.
Another option is to wear similar pieces together: dark with dark, faded with faded and washed with washed. Avoid looking matchy-matchy and add a solid colour, whether it's neutral like white or a vibrant colour, it will make your whole look more sleek.
If you tend to play it safe with your style we dare you to step out of your comfort zone and take a fashion risk. Distressing, patchwork or slogans on your denim add interest to your look and show you’re not afraid to try something different.
Rather than spending loads of money on an expensive, overrated dinner, keep the romance alive in your very own home this month of love.
These key pieces instantly up the romance in any living space – whether for Valentine's Day or for any other day of the year.
1. Up your glass game
Rather than scratching around at the last minute for matching, chip-free glasses, make sure you have glassware to be proud of at the ready. This will take away a lot of last-minute stress and embarrassment you don't need, especially when you're quite possibly already filled with nerves.
Whatever's on the menu, presentation can make all the difference between a merely tasty meal and a truly memorable one. That said, there is something rather intimate about a smorgasbord of finger foods to share – in which case a fancy cheese board and pretty platters are worthy investments. Looking to end of the night with a sweet treat? Here is some inspiration for late-night snacking.
4. Don't forget the couch
Now that you’ve wined and dined to your heart’s content it’s time to sit back and relax and enjoy each others’ company. Dress your couch for the occasion with textured throws and scattered cushions in sensual fabrics such as velvet and silk.
