GET GLAM FOR YOUR DATE – STYLE TIPS TO ENSURE YOU SHINE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

Whatever you’ve got planned, whether it’s cozy-ing up on the sofa or being whisked off somewhere on a weekend break, these style tips will help you look and feel fabulous without a fashion mistake in sight!

Whatever your body shape, if you’re looking for a sexy, dressy outfit, there’s always a dress style that’s perfect for you, so don’t just reach for a cover up, WOW your partner in a figure enhancing dress.  BE Styled has some fab pieces in store just for you, follow our examples below and come along and let us help you put it into practice.

IF YOU’RE BOYISH

Opt for detail, panelling or print down the front and sides, which are all fab for those of you who want to create some curves as this creates the illusions of curves!  ’Tile-print’ is on-trend at the moment and with this level of detail, it is perfect if you struggle with accessories as the print makes the statement for you

We would team this kind of structured dress with a  bright-coloured, boyfriend blazer and some stylish shoe-boots to give it an edge and make it less ‘office-y’

IF YOU’RE SMALL BUSTED

To create the illusion of more up top, go for bright colours in draped fabrics - print, pattern and shiny fabric will work too!  If you've opted for lots of bright colours, keep it simple and elegant with some nude heels for a leg-lengthening effect and your date will be hooked!

IF YOU’RE CURVY

For all your curvy ladies, a deep v will minimise the bust area, added with a belt to emphasise the slimmest part.  Look out for asymmetric draped skirt, which will slim down curvy bums and thighs.  Show off your curves and feel confident when you do!

Add some chunky gold jewelery to jewel-tone dresses to draw the eye to your face and lure him in!

IF YOU’RE TOP-HEAVY

If you're looking to spend a little more, try to seek out something which will be timeless and that you can pull out time and time again, whatever the occasion! Focus on dresses with detail on the hip or bottom half, which works great for top-heavy ladies who need to draw the eye away from the top-heavy area.  Deep v's are always your 'go-to' along with capped sleeves it is a flattering style all round.  Team with a fab clutch bag to detract the eye from top heavy areas even more and WOW him all the way down the aisle!
