For years people have opted for the classic red on 14th February; women more so than men. However, over time this Valentine’s Day tradition has slowly transformed into a tacky option that should be considered as a last resort on this occasion.

Red, generally is a colour with which people can almost never go wrong. It adds a chic aura to any outfit and instantly brings the whole look together. But is there a way to celebrate Valentine’s Day without it? We think there is and we suggest to keep the shade at the back of your closet this year. Why though? Well… since everything else around us is red on this particular day, why not opt for more subtle tones to stand out rather than get lost in a sea of scarlet.

Here are come pastel looks that you can try on the day dedicated to love!
