Valentine's Day Dressing - For Date Night & Beyond

Put poetry in motion and spread the love far and wide as February's fashion spotlight turns to romantic dressing...

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, we’re feeling the love. Whether it’s the love of a good partner, the love and laughs you share with great friends or the self love we should be bestowing on ourselves, it’s time to get inspired.

Pink Dresses, Red Dresses Are Valentines Successes

Dresses Made For Love

Forever entwined, romance and flowers go hand in hand. Embrace then, the easiest way to capture the romantic mood and use the colours of romance and passion: pink and red.

Rich in symbolism, these shades capture the essence of passion, confidence, and undeniable femininity—making them the perfect choice for a date night outfit.

Bold and captivating, a red dress like the Bibi Dress in Red speaks to fiery love and unforgettable moments. A pink dress like the Maree Dress in Hot Pink meanwhile, with its soft and playful charm, embodies elegant romance.

A harmonious yet high-impact combination, red and pink shades also work well together. So, why not combine romance and passion this Valentine's Day, with print like the Maretta print that embraces both. We love the Casey Dress with its elegant cowl neckline, blouson bodice and asymmetric skirt.

GRAPHIC PRINT DRESSES WITH IMPACT

Unexpectedly Modern - Graphic Print Dresses

If red and pink aren’t your thing, there’s no rule that says you have to follow traditional Valentine’s themes. A print with a graphic edge offers a great alternative, making a statement that blends the sophisticated with the unexpected.

A bold monochromatic pattern like a polka dot print give off an air of confidence and individuality. Choose a feminine style such as the Maggie Maxi Dress in Polka Dot and you'll still capture a sense of occasion that will see through Valentines and beyond.

Taking a feminine style of dress of choosing a print in that steps away from the conventional Valentines palette, is great way to make a bold and modern statement.

Whether it's Valentine's or Galentine's dressing, a style like the Myla Dress for example, with it's feminine off-the shoulder frill and ruffle hemline, is striking in the animal print 'Jade Safari' colourway.

"Polka dots have that timeless, effortless appeal. There's something undeniably confident about them. In a fluid, feminine silhouette like the Maggie Maxi Dress, they strike the perfect balance between statement and sophistication."

The Little Black Dress Vs.The Little Navy Dress

Cocktail Dress Elegance

For those who prefer a more understated yet sophisticated approach to Valentine’s dressing, Black and Navy are effortlessly chic alternatives to traditional romantic hues.

These deep, moody tones exude elegance, confidence, and timeless allure, making them perfect for a refined date night look.

A black dress is the ultimate classic dress style and a wardrobe staple. Flattering, versatile, and always in style, a black dress like the Alita Maxi Dress will quickly become your go-to cocktail dress for events, social gatherings and nights out.

Navy meanwhile, offers a softer take on dark tones, bringing with it a refined depth and sophistication. With its knee-length skirt, the versatile Maree Dress in Navy translates for both day and evening with just a change of accessories.

Whether you opt for maxi dress lengths or knee-length looks, black and navy dresses promise effortless style that’s polished, powerful, and undeniably alluring.

Desk-To-Dinner Date Night Outfits

Pant Suits For Evening Wear

For a modern, fashion-forward take on date night dressing, look no further than suiting and separates. A sleek blazer paired with tailored trousers gives a sophisticated cocktail pant look that is effortlessly cool.

Give your pant suit look the edge by choosing luxe fabrics, sharp cuts, and elevated details. A Scuba Crepe fabric as seen on the Merit Blazer and Corbin Pant (pictured) has a luxurious texture and plenty of stretch for all-night comfort.

Dress up your pant suit look with metallic accents. The Eddy Cami in Twilight for example, has a lustrous finish that transforms this suit for evening wear.

Whether you go for monochrome minimalism or a bold statement hue, this approach to dressing is perfect for those who love a polished yet unexpected take on eveningwear style.

EXPERT TIP:

Update your pant suit look instantly - drape the blazer over your shoulders for a sophisticated, polished look.
