Depending whether you two are a dapper duo or a simple, casual couple, here are a couple outfit ideas to keep you looking fashionable, festive and good enough to eat!

DAPPER DUO

Necklace from Les Pommetres / Dress from The Corner

Clutch from Lulu Guinness / Tights from Style Bop

Pumps from Far Fetch

 

Perhaps you have that dream boyfriend who explains your upcoming Valentine’s Day date is a secret, but “dress fancy”.  Your mind is racing wondering what the heck he is planning while simultaneously manipulating your calendar to squeeze in time to go shopping.  Who knows what may happen this night and you want to be wearing a memorable outfit, just in case!

Based on previous surprises, like the impulsive weekend getaway to the Canaries, new diamond earrings for no reason, or just last week when you came home to a hot cooked meal and fine wine waiting for you on the table, you’re in for a real treat.

The outfit to the left is a perfect comprimise for looking sexy, situation appropriate while maintaining loyalty to the lovey-dovey Valentine’s theme.  Colour block pink and red hues to tribute the psuedo-holiday, in addition to a shiney smooch embellishment to the clutch, you are right on point.

 

 

CASUAL COUPLE

Hat from All Saints / Jumper and Shirt from Chic Nova /

Jeans from My Wardrobe / Wedges from Wallis Fashion

You and beau are cool cats who prefer to take it easy and enjoy eachother’s company on  February the 14^th.  Perhaps you are going ice skating or planning to order take-away and cuddle at home.  Regardless, you need something to wear that is comfortable, yet akin to day filled with love and lust.

 

This outfit incorporates a thematic heart as well as a crimson red cardigan to note the sensual sentiments of Valentine’s Day.  Sticking with style, the floral denim, slouched beanie and wedge booties show personality and taste.  Dress chic, comfortably and still express love, joy and excitement while spending time with your significant other, regardless of how casual your plans may be.

 

 

Now that you have your outfit planned, time to resume wondering what he’s buying you and start thinking about what kind of gift to buy for your beau.  Priorities, right?  Ha!

What do you plan to do with your lover this Valentine’s Day?  How do you style yourself fashionably and festively?  Are you part of a Dapper Duo or Casual Couple?
