Choosing The Right Color to Wear on Valentine’s Day

Although today we might pick out which bouquet to give a loved one based on its appearance, decades ago it wasn’t uncommon to give them according to the meaning their color had. Each color represented a different sentiment, making some more appropriate than others for each occasion that arose. If you’re stumped as to what to wear, why not use the same philosophy for your Valentine’s Day outfit?

Red

As you may have already guessed, red is the color for romantic love. This is the one that has the most obvious connections to the present, as sweethearts are known to gift red roses. Wearing
red will display your affection and rumor has it that it will always make you stand out more.

Burgundy

A more muted version of the classic red, apparently burgundy represents “unconscious beauty”, which makes me think of One Direction’s “What Make You Beautiful”. I never really wrapped my head around the concept of not knowing you’re beautiful making you more beautiful, so I would advise wearing burgundy and knowing you look gorgeous.

White

White is a traditional color of innocence and purity and regarding roses it is no different. However, as we all well know, those traits can sometimes be overrated, so just focus on how immaculate you will look in a white ensemble!

So there you have it! This is just for fun and probably 99 percent of people will not get any subliminal message from the color of your outfit, but it is definitely a unique way to choose an outfit. The most important thing is that you feel fierce and wear whatever makes you confident!
