My Favourite Romantic Date outfit ideas

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. You can feel the love in the air and smell the roses on the streets. With shops and restaurants preparing for the V-Day with elaborate menus or cute red decorations, you need to also get ready for the V-Day. Whether you are going to spend the day with your other half or just celebrate it with your girlfriends here are 5 outfits which are romantic yet stylish for Valentine’s Day.

Outfit 1: Fancy Dinner Date

Going all red on Valentine’s Day is a clichéd choice. This V-Day change up the usual trend, pick a classy outfit which has mixed material or an interesting hemline which sets you apart. For a fancy dinner date outfit, I’ve paired a short capped sleeve sequined top in tones of blue and purple with a glamorous high-low skirt. It’s feminine, flirty and sophisticated at the same time. If you are not someone who loves glitter then you can even pair the skirt with a cute crop top for a stylish look.

Outfit 2: Brunch Date

A striped dress is the one to go for. Striped dresses are casual, chic and versatile plus they also look super adorable. You can pair up a black and white striped day with a light cardigan or jacket if it’s a little chilly outside or just a light colourful scarf. You can keep it simple by adding a pop of colour in your accessories. Carry a bright coloured clutch and match it with your shoes.

Outfit 3: Movie and Evening Stroll

If you are someone who likes to celebrate Valentine’s Day in an elaborate manner and prefers keeping things fun and romantic then this floral printed dress from Coast is a great fit. I paired these silver sandals from Dune and love their detailing around ankles. This outfit is super easy to wear and you can play it up with some accessories and makeup. If you planning to go for a movie and drinks do, then this outfit is simple, casual, and yet very stylish.

Outfit 4: Girls Night out

If you are celebrating a girl’s night with your girlfriends and hating on the whole idea of Valentine’s Day then this colour Block Collarless Coat from Shein is a great option. I styled the coat with a top and jeans along with heels. The coat can also be paired with a little black dress if you are planning to go to a night club. Keep the rest of your outfit muted if you have a statement jacket like this one. Even if it’s not a girl’s night out, you can wear this coat for an outdoor type of a date.

Outfit 5: Coffee Date

If you’ve got a date for Valentine Day with someone you just met or want to keep is casual then a maxi is a go item. Maxi’s are casual, fun and romantic at the same time. A maxi is great for a casual and low-key V-Day Date.  I chose to keep my look simple since the maxi in itself is quite striking. I wore big silver earrings and platform heels and added a rustic touch with my jute handbag. I’ve gone for a very ethnic look.

Spring Outfit Ideas for Romantic Look  

When cold winter days pass we all look forward to spring. That’s usually because you can finally take those three hundred layers of clothes off and get free from those shawls, caps and gloves that have been burdening you for the past two or three months. Spring is the best time for romance, your blood boils, you feel nature’s liveliness and you envy the beauty of gentle, soft flowers that bloom all around. Join the show and put on a romantic look for this spring following these great ideas.

Lace

LaceThere’s no romance without a little lace. Or a lot. Your choice. Lace gives a very feminine touch to your outfit. Whether you’re wearing a lace covered dress or have just a decorative detail on your leggings or a sweater, lace is essential for a gentle, soft look. Put on a white lace dress and spice it all up with a stylish brown belt. Or wear a sweatshirt with lace details. Match a lace shirt with skinny jeans and you’re ready for a nighttime spring walk. When the day is warm, put on a sleeveless lace top and peach-colored shorts. Just keep the colors bright, we’ve had enough of those grays and blacks throughout the winter.

Floral print

What better way to give out a spring spirit than wearing floral print? Celebrate flowers by wearing them. Flowers are gentle, colorful, cheerful and fragrant and everyone loves them. Just remember how happy you were the last time you got a bunch of flowers for present. That’s the symbolism of wearing them. Welcome the new season by wearing floral leggings with a single-colored slouchy shirt. There are so many beautiful floral print dresses available so go out and get one. If you want feminine yet bold try floral print shorts. Here’s an idea for a very clever and stylish outfit: white shirt, peachy blazer, jeans and floral print pumps. Just remember not to get too carried away – if you wear floral print piece of clothing you should only match it with single-colored clothes because you don’t want too many patterns screaming off of you.

Tulle skirts

Tule skirtJust like beach kaftans are essential for summer, so tulle skirts are a must-have for spring. The word comes from a city in France which was a centre of lace and silk production in the 18th century. Parisians were the first to wear it in their ballet costumes. Nowadays they are available for everyone and are certainly a major trend. From shorter to longer models, you can wear them on any occasion. Match them with flats and you’ll look innocent like a ballerina. Match them with pumps and you’ll look like a glamorous princess. You can even match a tulle skirt with a black-and-white striped top for an exciting combination of sporty and elegant.

Accessories

Firstly, remember that a romantic look requires soft, pastel colors like white, pink and blue. To complete your perfect spring outfit, wear a simple silver necklace. Pearls are also a very clever and classy idea. When choosing bags, clutch purses are the right choice for a romantic-looking lady. Be creative with belts and be sure to include ribbons and flowers to your outfit ideas and you’re ready for sping.
