Video: The pair-fect style for your Valentine's date

Dinner a deux

Pink and red are the colours of romance and they're also the tones to wear tomorrow night, writes Dianne Bourne.

Whether you're heading out on the town for Valentine's Day, or planning a more intimate dinner for two, let romance be your fashion guide for the annual celebration of all things love.

For our Valentine's fashion shoot, we put together some key looks for couples celebrating in style.



Think pink and red for romance – and not just for the ladies! 

For the more adventurous fellas out there, think pink shirts and red accents, while ladies can go for leading lady glamour in red hot gowns or pastel pink accessories.

And at this time of year, the blingier the jewellery the better as diamonds truly are a girl's best friend – fellas take note!
