V-Day Looks.

Alright Fellas! Today is your day..although Valentine's Day has passed you can still sport these looks on a regular or if you celebrating the holiday this coming weekend! Either way it goes you could always use some ways to incorporate some reds, and pinks in your wardrobe. With that being said let's get into it!

We're going to start you off with a casual look, given to you by Mr.Swizz Beatz. Here you see him in a cut-off white graphic tee, some grey tinted jeans, red hat and red reeboks. In other words the look is simple.
If you are wanting something similar but warm enough for these cooler months, check out these few items. First lets start off with some grey colored jeans, you want to go with either skinny or boot cut to get the scrunch up effect on the shoes. Go any wider than boot and your pants will lay overtop of shoes. Next take this white thermal and graphic tee over-top to keep the upper-body warm. To keep the warmth in a little more throw on this black cardigan. For shoes try these red reeboks out, and this red wings fitted. And there you have a very similar look to Mr. Swizz but still your own.

To dress this look up, we suggest doing a black blazer instead of the cardigan, and maybe throw on some geek-chic glasses for some class.

Now as we did for the ladies, we want to give you all a 2 look appropriate for date night.



This first look is for the daring! As you all know when men wear pink they really make a statement, and from the looks of this picture Drake made one. Although the sweater is bold, the rest of the look works great with it. Once again this look is one that does not take much to create, or put your own spin on..but we're here to give you somewhere to start. 

Start off with some khaki colored pants**. We're suggesting the khaki's so that sweater color will really pop. Next we suggest you doing a white button-up underneath the sweater giving the look a little more personality..also it will give the look more of a dressier vibe. Don't forget your sweater..it's the key piece. Now if you're not wanting to go for the pullover sweater, a red-cardigan will work just the same. For shoes go dressy with something like an oxford. Shades are optional, but if your date is a night you might leave those in the glove compartment. And there you have it, you're done!

** Heres some dark colored jeans you can take a look at if you feel as though the khaki is too far of a stretch. Either way the look will look great!


And finally we're going to look at an all black outfit worn by Usher, adorned with a pink pocket square. Although he is not dressed in an abundant amount of red or pink, the pocket square is just enough to show that V-Day spirit.

Want an all black look? All you have to do is grab all your black clothing and put it on together. Ok..not really, but if you are going to use what you have be sure that the blacks go together. As you can see with Usher's look the shade that the shirt is in is brought through by the lining of the collar and the pockets of the blazer. Therefore making it appropriate for him to wear different shades.

We would suggest to add some other hint of red/pink in there, but we think that the pocket square is just right. Anything else may alter the all black look by too much. So take a look at this suit, shirt, scarf, and boots to spark your creativity. Don't want to do a suit, try some black pants and a black cardigan.

And there you have it fellas, a few looks to make your date second guess their outfits! Be sure to leave any comments or questions below and don't forget to follow.

P.S. we've included some alternate pink/red looks below just for ideas...ENJOY!
