10 Fashion & Beauty Trends That Will Wow Your Valentine
Fashion and beauty looks that you and your man will fall for this Valentine's Day.
We know men aren't always on board with the fashion and beauty items women love. (Yeah, we thought those harem pants were cool and trendy, too. Our guys weren't quite as sure.) But there are a few looks that are guaranteed to blow him away, and Valentine's Day is the perfect chance to show them off. Here are ten gorgeous style ideas for the coming occasion that both you and your man will adore.
1. Cherry Red Nails
According to Cosmo, men are smitten with bright red fingertips. Over 40 percent said they would love to see their gals with a little crimson nail coloring, the runaway winner over any other polish tint. That's good, because we love the fierce hue too, and it's pretty darn festive for Valentine's Day.
2. Sexy Red Lips
According to Glamour, scientists at Manchester University found that men are attracted to a very specific lip color. Which one? You guessed it: red. The crimson lip is a huge beauty trend which has been all over the runways as of late, so it's about time to pick up a fresh tube in this fabulous shade. And um, it's pretty-factor is backed up by science. What more could we want?
3. Thigh-high Boots
Most guys love curve-hugging skinny jeans, so tuck those into a pair of heeled thigh-high boots. Add in a pretty boyfriend blazer, and you have a winning outfit. These boots are definitely the sexiest footwear trend this winter.
4. Cropped Leather Jacket
In a BeautyRiot.com poll, 93 percent of men confessed to loving the leather look. Pair a motorcycle jacket with a little red dress and you'll drive your date crazy all night.
5. Blake Lively-esque Curls
Dubbed the new 'Rachel' by the New York Times, those soft twists are utterly lust-worthy. So grab a set of hot-rollers and emulate the former Gossip Girl star's stylish strands. Get ready to make him swoon! (And you'll feel completely glamorous to boot.)
6. The Menswear Look
Pull a masculine piece from his wardrobe, like an oversize button-down or a great pair of boyfriend jeans, then pair that item with feminine heels for a mix-master look that he'll love. Something tells us he will most definitely like his clothes better on you than on himself.
7. A Sequined Skirt
Sequins are right on-trend currently, so pick up a sparkly skirt to add a little wow-factor into your look. We'd advocate wearing this piece with the menswear items we mentioned above for a knock-out ensemble.
8. A Floral Fragrance ... WITH Spice
Glamour had a few lucky men smell-test various women's fragrances to see which scent had the biggest turn-on effect. Apparently, they flipped for florals that also had a hint of spice in them. Need a suggestion? Try Daisy by Marc Jacobs.
9. The LBD.
It's a classic. It's always flattering. You can pair the Little Black Dress with anything. It's fail-safe, and a perennially perfect V-day option. We'll say no more.
10. Off-The-Shoulder Sweater.
Knits were a catwalk hit this season, and we were more than happy to embrace a comfortable trend for the winter weather. Plus, men will totally fall for a few of these knit styles, specifically the off-the-shoulder version. It's still cold outside, but there's nothing hotter than a sliver of skin peeking out under a cozy sweater. It's effortless. Just throw on this piece and your sexy smile. You'll be good to go.
