I submitted a piece similar to today's post for the publication I work for earlier in the week. It's about Valentine's Day. A day I have never acknowledged because well, it's a bunch of crap to be honest. It's nothing but a marketing scheme and if you really wanted to celebrate 'love', you have 365 days in the year. I'm sure you catch my drift. You can show the person you love, no matter who it is, throughout the year by expressing your affection on any given day.
Now, onto the real piece. I presented two different looks that a gentleman can pull off for a Valentine's date. I complimented both looks with two different outfits for women. The first look is a bit dressed-up and the second is a little more on the casual side. Regardless the significance of the day, you have to look sharp for the ladies, gentlemen. They deserve a man that puts in the extra effort in style.
