It’s that time of year again when stores are filled with heart shaped chocolate boxes, sequin confetti and beautiful red roses to adorn our other halves with! February 14th marks the one day a year we can get away with being ridiculously cheesy and totally get away with it. Most of us singletons will be sat at home with a glass of Prosecco in one hand and the TV remote in the other, tragically trying to avoid channels showing glorified romantic comedies – whilst the rest of you lucky love birds are probably out enjoying a spot of fine dining.

For some of you even, Valentine’s day may mean so much more than candy and sipping champagne – this could be it. THE BIG DAY. The day your partner lovingly kneels down on one knee to pop that eagerly anticipated question. What will you say? What will you do? Where will it happen? Oh we can’t answer that for you, but we can certainly help with; “what will I be wearing?” and for those of you who aren’t expecting a proposal, finding that perfect Valentine’s outfit can be as frustrating as figuring out whether it’s an ok idea to buy your partner a ‘funny’ card.

Luckily for you stylish folks out there, Messina Hembry have plenty of vintage Tommy Hilfiger for you to indulge in ready for your romantic celebrations. Whether it’s a simple trip to the cinema or a fancy meal at a suave high end restaurant, these preloved pieces will steal hearts without you having to rinse your wallet (save the extra cash for desert maybe?). Keeping with the theme, we’ve selected a little red number for both our men’s and women’s outfits:

WHAT TO WEAR ON YOUR VALENTINE’S DAY DATE: GENTS

 

Because it’s a special day, we selected smart attire that will cover most V-day activities ensuring you’re dressed to impress but comfortable in our vast vintage collection of Hilfiger garms. A shirt and blazer combo is perfect for an evening of dinner, dancing or cocktails, but may look overdressed for a gentle stroll - by adding a designer jumper over the top will keep you cosy and tone it down! Whilst the trousers add a luxe touch, they could easily be switched for jeans if your date consists of something more casual. Pair these with black or brown leather brogues and a matching belt to keep it looking slick and classic.

 

WHAT TO WEAR ON YOUR VALENTINE’S DAY DATE: LADIES

For the bonnie lasses we’ve selected our Tommy Hilfiger floral print folk dress which can be worn over tights with knee high boots or court heels for a formal and quirky look. For an outdoorsy get up, wear ankle boots and opaque tights/full length leggings to keep your pins toasty whilst wrapping up in our stunning strawberry red trench! Layer with vintage pearls to create a detailed neckline and always co-ordinate your handbag to look irresistibly adorable in our preloved collection!

 

Now, imagine you both venturing out in head-to-toe second hand designer clothing? Just two peas in a lovely little pod. Enjoy your special day kids and remember; all you need is love.
