Here are a few tips and Valentine’s tricks that will make you look in perfect place…

 

Valentine’s Daytime Date Outfits

Going out for a casual coffee date, shopping date, or even around a museum or local attraction? It can be tempting to go full formal with accessories and a 3-piece suit for any date, but you can look just as good in a men’s date outfit in casual or smart casual attire.

 

SUAVE OWL Oatmeal T-Shirt, Jeans Rock Fit Blue

 

For a casual man’s Valentine’s outfit, try a SUAVE OWL T-shirt with chinos or jeans. It’s a simple combo that works every time and in loads of colour combinations. With SUAVE OWL’s diverse size range, you will be able to find all these items in a size that feels both comfortable and flattering to you.

 

 

If you want a simple colour combination that works well, try a SUAVE OWL White T-shirt with navy or black chinos as a neutral base. From here, add an overshirt  or statement jacket of your choice to complete the look. It’s a clean and polished outfit, perfect for a casual Valentine’s men’s outfit.

 

Of course, smart casual may be the option you prefer. It’s easier to feel confident in an outfit with formal elements. For a smart-casual man’s Valentine’s outfit, try a SUAVE OWL T-shirt, a jumper, a suit jacket, neutral chinos or matching suit trousers, and brogues. The T-shirt is hidden by the jumper, giving you an extra layer for warmth and comfort. The jumper paired with a suit jacket gives a distinctly formal and smart impression. Neutral chinos or matching suit trousers provide a cohesion to the outfit; make sure the neutral chinos either pleasantly contrast or are tied into a colour of the suit jacket. Lastly, brogues will always put that extra bout of confidence into your step. It’s a simple outfit, but works effectively every time.

What To Wear If You’re Proposing On Valentine’s Day?

Planning to ask the big question? Congratulations! For such a momentous occasion, one you’ll remember for the rest of your life, you want to look your best. Here are some ways to make sure you do; you’ll thank us later!

 

 

Firstly, make sure your men's valentine's outfit fits you well. A good fit is essential to looking your best. You don’t want to look bulky, and you don’t want to look tightly squeezed. A good men's outfit should fit snugly but not constrict and it should not hang off your frame. It should provide a clean silhouette that flatters the wearer. A good fit is essential, don’t neglect it. This is just as important whether you're wearing a casual outfit, smart casual outfit, or formal outfit. You can utilise our size guides to ensure the right fit for you. If you're planning on wearing a suit and want to find the right size, read Ultimate Guide To Men’s Suits for more. If you're staying more on the casual side, read Mastering Men's Fashion: How To Find Your Style. 

 

 

Secondly, make your accessories and styling pop. For such an important moment, it’s worth putting in extra effort to feel your best. Iron your outfit. Polish your shoes. Groom yourself with a new hairstyle and trim. Wear your favourite cologne. All these little things will boost your confidence ten-fold. See these little bits of effort as a big investment in yourself and your partner, start your engagement as positively as you want to go on.

 

 

Lastly, make sure you feel as picture ready as you look. The above tips, planning your outfit, planning the proposal, knowing what you want to say and where, all of it will help your confidence when the big moment comes. However, it’s worth asking a close friend or family member to check over your outfit and take some pictures of you in it. This will give you a practice run of what the outfit is like to wear, let you know how you photograph in it, and give you angles and ideas for photography. Plus, it will let you know exactly which pocket is best to conceal the ring in. For that extra boost of confidence, a practice run in your outfit with a loved one is a must.
