We bring you our wide range of men’s stylish fashion that’ll help you look dapper for any occasion. Below you’ll find multiple fashion possibilities depending on where you’re going this Valentine’s Day.
A Casual Dinner
Don’t make the mistake of thinking a casual dinner means casual clothes. While you can certainly go for a more relaxed style, you also want to look sharp and pulled together. For this date, start with a button-down shirt in a solid color or a classic plaid print. These shirts are comfortable yet respectable at the same time. Since this is a casual meal, you can leave your shirt untucked, and wear it over a pair of chinos or trousers in a dark wash. For your shoes, consider going with a pair of crisp white sneakers or boat shoes.

An Activity Date
Whether it’s a walk through the park or a friendly game of miniature golf, activity dates are always an exciting option to spice things up. Since you’ll likely be outside and moving around, you can keep this look cool and casual. Opt for dark jeans or neutral chinos teamed up with a button-down shirt or long-sleeve top. If the temperature outside is a little chilly or you think you’ll be out after the sun goes down, you can wear a sweatshirt over your shirt for extra warmth and a complete look. Since you’ll likely be moving around a lot, keep your feet comfortable with trainers or sneakers.

Drinks After Work
When you’re heading out for drinks after work, changing from your professional attire isn’t always necessary. If you’re wearing a well-tailored suit, you can easily head straight from the office to the bar with just a little advanced planning. First, skip the pinstripes, and stick with a solid color, such as navy, black, or gray. Next, remember that while the suit is important, the shirt you’re wearing underneath is even more significant. Bring a clean shirt with you to the office that morning so you can change out of the one you were wearing all day right before you leave for your date.

A Pub or Bar Date
Dressing for a date at a pub or bar is tricky. These establishments are typically more relaxed than a casual restaurant, yet you still want to look sharp for your date. In this case, try mixing styles for an unexpected look. Start with a white Oxford shirt to give you a classic yet simple foundation. Leave it untucked and match your shirt with a pair of jeans that will bring in the casual touch you need. When you’re picking out shoes, continue to stay casual by either selecting sneakers or boots.
