February 14th is heading your way! This Valentine’s Day, Cupid’s arrow will help to bring some romance into your life along with some lovely date looks. Incorporating red, black, leather and lace, these sexy outfit options are great for three different date ideas like a romantic night in, a dinner date out or an activity date.

Cooking your man a candlelit dinner doesn’t have to call for a 50s apron. You can still play up your assets with a cute and casual look for a romantic night in. Show off your waistline with a rosy red peplum top and your toned legs with a pair of black wax coated jeans detailed with gold zippers on the hips and ankles. Don’t forget some bling! The diamond love ring in a yellow gold setting will add some sparkle to the evening. He might be wondering if you’re wearing something else. Hide lingerie like the black and red lace Balconette bra and matching thong underneath your clothes for a racy surprise after dessert.

Not all Valentine’s Day dates require a fancy outfit. If you’re searching for the perfect casual date apparel for a late night stroll or mini golfing, start with something comfy like a grey pullover sweatshirt encrusted with a festive red lip rhinestone design. Wear a pair of stretch skinny jeans with ankle slits and flirty cutout flats so walking around is easy. Keep all of your items in a red leather shoulder bag worn cross-body style so your arms and hands are kept free for your golf club and tons of hand-holding.
