Well ladies, now that the most romantic day of the year is almost here, it’s time to start figuring out what to wear — date or no date. When it comes to dressing for Valentine’s Day, it’s fun to take advantage of wearing the holiday colours, especially if you’re spending the day at work. But, the key is to avoid looking too cliché. This Valentine’s day, we wanted to ensure you look your best so we’ve put together 7 tips on how to incorporate the colour red into your work outfit.

Elevate Your Look With a Scarf

Red is a bold colour to rock, especially in work attire. If you don’t feel comfortable wearing a lot of red, get into the spirit with a cozy scarf. By wearing a scarf, you’re able to elevate your look, while showing off your Valentine’s Day spirit.

2. Red Tote

Playful Red Accessories

Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to go out and buy that pair of heels or that perfect tote bag that you’ve been eyeing up at the mall. By pairing chic red accessories together, you’ll have two focal areas on your outfit.

A Little Red Dress

While the little black dress is a closet staple, every woman should have a fun alternative. Just remember, if you’re dressing for the workplace, make sure the dress is work appropriate and follows the dress code. If it’s sleeveless, you can wear a blazer or a cardigan over it.
