Working out what to wear for a special date is not always easy: it's easy to overthink things and end up wearing clothes or trying out styles that make you feel uncomfortable or constantly wondering whether you've over or under-done it. You want to set out of your front door knowing that you won't have to think about your outfit again for the rest of the night. Grabbing something fresh for your wardrobe can be a great way to boost self-confidence on a first date, and to show a long-term partner that you're still keen to impress: there's nothing more romantic than a little bit of surprise. Below, we outline a few outfit ideas that are smart, classic, comfortable and reliable, ready for some Valentine's inspiration. Sneaky hint: these would all make great gifts for him, too! It can be fun to dress up your partner for a special occasion, or to offer a wonderful new garment or accessory as a gift to expand his fashion palette.

It's great to add that ineffable touch of class to your look, whether that's through creating such a hairstyle that all your date can do is think about running their fingers through it, or choosing a scent that means they simply have to get closer to you. Dapper Dan supply a range of hair products for all types and styles: their flagship High Hold Low Shine is the perfect matt styler to create any look, giving a lovely non-greasy but textured vibe to your hair. Go for the all-natural surfer look with Murdock Sea Salt styling spray and get a lovely, smartly touseled look. To provide that all-alluring, unforgettable and signature scent, look no further than Truefitt & Hill's range of colognes. Distinctive, gentle and charming, they speak of a cultured, singular gentlemen who knows what he wants.

Dressing well leads directly to feeling good: confidence in how you look will boost your confidence in yourself, which is the most direct route to a successful date. The looks we've outlined above are all solid, dependable, and adaptable, depending on how you want to play it. Whether you're dressing to keep things fresh or to bring your best out on a first date - or if you're browsing for a few gifts for a guy, boyfriend or husband - we wish you a comfortable, confident and supremely stylish Valentines.
