If there was ever a “date night” to dress up for, it’s Valentine’s Day, right? But we’re not saying you have to get dressed to the nines. Just put in a little effort for a relaxed, but stylish day of romance.

What We’re Wearing on Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is upon us. You've got a week and a half to make sure your gifts are wrapped and ready, dinner is planned and flowers have been ordered. The easiest part? Deciding what to wear. Our recommendation is to dress in relaxed layers that provide warmth (for you or your date) while also making you look ruggedly handsome. A boxy cardigan feels current and cozy while some sturdy suede boots help you stand tall and confident. And while we never recommend novelty underwear (there's nothing sexy about that), some sweet heart-embroidered socks make for a cute conversation piece or a quirky surprise at the end of the night. Don't forget to top off your fit with a few spritzes of a deep, dark fragrance that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
