As Love's national holiday approaches, Frederick's of Hollywood, the expert on romance and lingerie, weighs in on what's hot (and what's not) this season. Direct from Hollywood, the birthplace of American glamour, the specialty lingerie purveyor offers trend advice on choosing a gift that will make her fall in love all over again.
Beautiful Details:
With high fashion all around her - from magazines to red carpet couture - every woman in America is fashion savvy and these days, nothing gets by her. It's all in the details - glamorous prints, contrasting stitching and intricate lace. Frederick's of Hollywood stylist, Nicole Craig, notes that to make a gift go from "nice to have" to a fashion "must have", choose items that show extra attention to the details, such as a silk chemise with fine lace and beading.
Luxury:
Valentine's Day is certainly the time when extravagance is in high demand, and as luxury items continue on their meteoric rise, it's a sure bet for a well-received Valentine's gift. Says Craig, "The great thing about luxury is that you can find it in the most surprising and affordable ways. A touch of satin or jeweled detail speaks volumes without making a serious impact on your wallet. Lingerie is a wonderfully affordable indulgence."
Lighten Up:
Valentine's Day is a harbinger of spring, so lighten up! Your palette for the day can swing from passionate red to a light, flirty pink. If corsets or silk slips don't suit her personality, go for a flirty infusion of fun with boyshorts, camisole tops that go from the bedroom to the bagel shop, and sweet pastel-hued flyaway babydolls.
Glamour:
Hollywood glamour to be exact. These days it's all about the stars and what they are wearing. The biggest trend in Hollywood? Innerwear as outerwear: corsets with cargo pants, beautiful bras peeking out from beneath jackets and tops, and lingerie cami tops over jeans. It's the perfect opportunity get a Valentine's gift she'll love, and love to wear all the time.
