Must you wear red on Valentine’s Day?

DAR ES SALAAM: EVERY February, red takes over, dresses, lipstick, heels, even handbags. It is seen as the official colour of love. But is it really a rule? Not at all.

Fashion has no laws, and Valentine’s style is about how you feel, not what tradition dictates. Soft pink gives a romantic, gentle vibe.

White feels fresh and elegant. Black creates a classy, confident look for dinner dates. Pastels bring a sweet, modern touch, while bold women can even rock blue, purple, or prints and still look perfectly on theme.

The real secret is this, confidence is more attractive than colour.

Wear what flatters your skin tone, fits your body comfortably, and matches the occasion. Red is beautiful, yes, but personal style is even more powerful.
