A touch of elegance
Often, when we think of dressing up for a special occasions, we opt for darker colours.
However, if you want to make a statement – a pair of beige chinos and a bold jacket will do all the work for you.
We love this coral jacket by CANALI. It resonates perfectly with the Valentines theme due to coral unique and romantic colour that is associated with love and passion.
If coral is a bit too risqué for you, you can opt for a blue jacket, which offers a timeless and sophisticated alternative, perfect for those who prefer a more toned down approach to Valentine’s Day style.
A CLASSY NIGHT OUT
If your Valentine’s Day plans include dinner at a fancy restaurant, try this combination of velvet, black shirt, and charcoal trousers.
The velvet jacket adds a touch of luxury and texture, contrasting beautifully with the smooth silkiness of the black shirt and the tailored wool blend of the trousers.
While suited for a classy night out, the chukka boots add a touch of casualness, making the outfit adaptable to different venues and activities creating the perfect balance of classic elegance and modern style.
AFTER WORK DATE
If you planned a casual date after work, we suggest to elevate your existing office outfit with a pop of colour, like a pink jumper.
A pop of colour can instantly transform your work outfit into something date-worthy, especially for a Valentine’s Day outing.
A soft pink crewneck will add a subtle touch of romance while remaining comfortably casual.
This outfit is perfect for a potentially chilly February day as the luxurious blend of wool and cashmere in the BOSS slim fit coat offers both warmth and comfort, while the slim fit adds a modern and polished look.
SLEEK MONOCHROME
Don’t underestimate the monochromatic outfit just because it’s a special occasion. Monochrome (meaning opting for one colour) instantly elevates your look, exuding elegance.
We particularly love this navy shirt by Paul Smith with its playful colourful buttons, which just take this look to the next level.

Adding a white pair of trainers is a great way to inject a touch of personality and keep the look from feeling too formal. It adds a contemporary twist and brings visual interest to the outfit.
Whether it’s rooftop cocktails with your love or laughter with friends, this navy monochrome outfit would be perfect for casual outings.
