But what’s your plan about yourself? Or in professional terms, the strategy to show up to her doorstep while looking like “someone she wants to be seen with on a date”.
True that Valentine ’s Day is the most romantic day of the year and all that is on your mind is to be with her and spend create some romantic moments with her. But such a big event demands a lion’s heart to just let your outfit slide. Even if it is a casual date, you would not want to show up to her in your PJs, or do you?
But no worries as I have had a detail brain storming with my designer friend to get you covered from top to bottom. And here let me share the excerpts from that mind blowing session. As my friend suggested, a well-fitted suit with nice formal shoes is the first thing that comes to our minds. And you just can’t go wrong with it, if you are good in contrasting various colors together. If not, you have me by your side.
Another point that my friend specifically emphasized upon was the feet. No matter if you are dressing formally or want to go casual, your socks and shoes need to be really impressive. Girls do pay attention to such things! *SIGH.
The fuss free formal
A well-fitted formal suit with a crisp white shirt or the one in shades of pink (Yes, guys do carry pink and with great élan). Complete the look with a perfect pair of shoes, belt and watch, thus reaching out for a gentlemen look to impress your lady.
A dash of red
Perfect that tailored look with an accent of red. It can be red socks that grab the attention, or a red pocket square or may be cufflinks. Complete the look of white shirt, navy blue or black tailored fit suit with brown shoes or brogues.
The not-so-casual date
Dressing up for casual dates can be a bit tricky at time. Try not to go overboard with casual looks or else you’d end up looking like a complete uninterested person who came for a date just like that.
Pair classic blue denim with a red chequered shirt and a blue casual jacket. Matching belt and comfortable pair of shoe (boat shoes or canvas ones) will add to the look, while adding a formal feel to it.
Semi-casual look
A well-tapered fit cotton trouser in navy blue, khaki or brown color would be apt for the times when you don’t want to look casual, yet yearn for a comfortable look. Pair those trousers with a semi-casual solid or chequered shirt coupled with men’s cardigan in grey or blue. You can be experimental with collar. Complete the look with suede moccasins or brown brogues.
An all white look
For those not willing to experiment with colors yet seeking a chic look can go for all white look from wardrobe adding an accent of gold/ brown. White or off-white shirt trouser with brown belt and a pair of brown brogues would be the ideal choice. A chronograph watch in gold tone or a time piece with mother of pearl dial and brown straps complete the look.
