Be bold, sexy, irresistible in red

Whether you'll be rocking the red dress or setting hearts aflutter at home, make every moment count this Valentine's Day.
If you have planned an evening in or a night out, as a couple or with friends, show a little love in your attire.
Go red if you enjoy being the centre of attention and want to knock the socks off your partner. Forget the Little Black Dress, the Little Red Dress guarantees that all eyes will be on you for the entire night. The red dress is a refreshing, romantic alternative to winter layers.
``Red is flirtatious, sexy and special. It's all about how women feel and embrace the colour while wearing it,'' says Ottawa-based boutique owner Earlene Hobin. ``Red is the leading trend on the runways this season,'' Hobin says.
If red is not your colour, tiny hearts, playful polka dots and white are fashionable alternatives.

Here are a few things to consider when wearing red:
Try a variety of reds against your skin tone to see what suits you best. Some reds have blue or orange undertones that could compete with certain colourings.
Wear nude hosiery and underwear (or skip the undies altogether) to avoid panty lines.
Find a lipstick shade that complements your dress colour. Makeup should be applied in an understated manner.
You don't want your accessories to clash with red so opt for silver or gold finishes on jewelry, handbag and shoes.
