New Delhi Feb 8 (IANS) Valentines Day calls for everything red as people usually relate the colour with love but how about trying some different tones this season?
Tanvi Malik Co-Founder at FabAlley says that red is a great colour but there are other unconventional colours and prints that can be explored to make the special day more exciting.
* Pastels: If you d rather have a more relaxed and soothing Valentine s Day choose pastels as your colour pantone. Vibrant colours make things bright and glamorous but sometimes all you want is a low-key soft look and pastels make for a perfect pick.
* All shades of purple: People love pink for Valentine s Day because it is feminine delicate and pretty but the same can be said about purple. This year choose a spread of purples and violets to add an unusual touch to your Valentine s Day.

* Blue valentine: A stunning blue dress can twist things up perfectly. A blue skater dress is simple yet stylish. Work it up with navy blue heels and black pearl earrings. Carry a nice black box clutch with it. For make-up smokey eyes and neutral lip shade will work the best.
* Ruffle romance: A black ruffled neck dress is a sexy thing to wear on a date night. Work it for the Valentine s Day with a pair of sky high stilettoes and an embellished clutch. Pout on a scarlet red lip shade and brighten things up with a mineral bronzer. For jewellery you can go for simple silver drops or a nice accent bracelet.
