Lacey Victoriana Frill Blouse, £59 | Nadine Mid-Wash Jean, £49 | Ava Zip Boots, £69 | Aurora Suede and Leather Cross-Body Bag, £39
From daytime dates to laid-back evening meals, a ruffled lace blouse and skinny-fit denim provide a feminine yet effortlessly cool outfit choice. Opt for black ankle boots with block heels for leg-lengthening appeal that’s wholly flattering – without compromising on comfort. The addition of a red leather bag creates a striking contrast, as well as giving a nod to the day’s romantic mood.

Going straight from desk to dinner? Designed for a figure-defining fit, a midi pencil dress offers the perfect style solution for busy diaries on Valentine’s Day. Forgo plain palettes and opt for prints – we like how the all-over spots lend a playful twist to this otherwise smart design. Bold peep-toe heels and a simple scarf lends a touch of retro charm to this date night look, while a structured tote adds further polish.

A little black dress, or the LBD, is a date night icon, pulling out all the stops with minimum effort. To keep this classic look feeling relevant, choose a simple silhouette with contemporary design details – cold-shoulder sleeves are a favourite for the season.
