The only Valentine’s Day outfit guide you need

No matter what you have planned, Valentine’s Day is the ideal occasion to improve your style game.

The correct attire can make you feel more confident and create the ideal atmosphere for a day that will be remembered, whether you are spending it with a special someone, with friends, or taking some time for yourself. How can you achieve the ideal look, though, when there are so many options for activities? Here’s how.

A casual lunch

Outfit: A comfortable, solid-coloured, short-sleeved cotton or linen dress in pastel, white, or navy. For a carefree, easygoing look, the dress should fit loosely, either shift or A-line and fall just above the knee.

Layering: If necessary, put on a denim jacket or lightweight cardigan for warmth, Cape Town’s weather can be unpredictable.

Accessories: For a carefree yet fashionable appearance, team with sunglasses, a tiny crossbody bag, and comfy sandals or sneakers.

For him:

Outfit: For a smart yet relaxed style, pair a short-sleeved polo shirt with chino shorts or lightweight pants made of a breathable material like cotton or a lightweight knit. Put on a casual jacket or overshirt if the wind is gusting.

Accessories: A pair of comfy sneakers or loafers, and a wristwatch.

A sunset dinner

For her:

Outfit: Wide-leg, high-waisted pants with a stylish satin or silk camisole. For those warmer days that give way to cooler evenings, this combination keeps things elegant but airy. For added warmth after dusk, throw on a light cardigan or a sleek blazer.

Accessories: Bold earrings, a stylish clutch bag, and heeled sandals or chic ankle boots.

For him:

Outfit: Dark, slim-fitting chinos or tailored pants with a light, long-sleeved button-up shirt.  As the evening cools off, throw on a light sweater or blazer for an additional layer of warmth.

Accessories: To keep things stylish but comfortable for an evening out are dress shoes or loafers, a leather belt, and a statement wrist watch.
