Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to make a memorable impression, and the right Valentine’s Day outfit can set the tone for the evening. At Peter Shearer Menswear, we’re here to help you find stylish and confidence-boosting looks for this special occasion. Whether you’re going casual or formal, we have the best men’s Valentine’s Day outfit ideas to make your evening unforgettable.
Casual Valentine’s Day Outfit Ideas
A casual Valentine’s Day outfit is ideal for relaxed settings like casual dining or a picnic in the park. Combining comfort with style, these pieces are perfect for low-key plans.
Pair Dark Denim with a Crisp White Shirt
This classic combination never goes out of style. Pair well-fitted dark denim with a clean white shirt to create a look that’s simple yet polished. We recommend the Levi’s 516 Straight Jeans in Dark Stone Wash paired with the Tennyson linen shirt from Industrie. For the finishing touch add some white leather sneakers for a laid-back look.
Casual Shirts and Chinos
For a slightly upscaled casual look, pair a tailored shirt with slim-fit chinos. Opt for neutral shades like beige or navy and finish the look with loafers or sneakers for a relaxed yet stylish outfit. Some great pieces to complete this look include the Gibson Justice Slim Fit Chinos, the Ben Sherman Linear Check Casual Shirt and either the Florsheim Social Sneaker in White or the Julius Marlow Slip-on Loafers depending on your personal preference.
Lightweight Sweater Over Chinos
A lightweight sweater layered over chinos is the perfect balance between cozy and chic. Go for earthy tones such as olive green or deep burgundy and accessorise with a classy watch for added sophistication. This look is perfect for those cooler summer nights. A great sweater option would be the Trademark Half Zip Knit from Toorallie in Cacao.
White Tee and Denim Jeans
A timeless outfit, the classic white tee and denim jeans. This relaxed look is perfect for casual Valentine’s Day plans. Add a cardigan for a touch of layering and finish it off with white sneakers. We have a range of Levi’s jeans in-store and online, visit us to find your perfect pair!
Semi-Formal Valentine’s Day Outfits
If your plans call for a step above casual, we’ve curated a list of semi-formal Valentine’s Day outfits, so you don’t have to. There’s always that uneasy feeling of not knowing what to wear for a semi-formal dress code – it’s the tricky middle ground between casual and formal. Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, an evening event, or a stylish night out, the key is striking the perfect balance between polished and relaxed.
Casual Blazer with a T-Shirt and Jeans
Pair a casual blazer such as one of our neutral sportscoats with a navy t-shirt and dark wash jeans. Add a pair of leather loafers for a polished yet still relaxed look perfect for your Valentine’s date.
Classic Blazer with Jeans & Layered Sweater
For a cooler night, we recommend a layered semi-formal look. Combine a classic blazer with a lightweight sweater over a crisp shirt. Pair with denim and oxford shoes for a versatile look. Pieces from Brooksfield, Tooralie and Industrie are the perfect way to complete the look.
Knit Sweater Over a Collared Shirt
Layer a knit sweater over a collared shirt to create a preppy, polished look. Neutral colours like grey or navy keep the look sophisticated, while chinos or slim trousers complete the ensemble.
White Shirt & Blazer Combination
A white shirt paired with a tailored blazer is a fool-proof semi-formal option. Wear it with dark jeans or slim trousers for a look that’s both comfortable and stylish.
Formal Valentine’s Day Outfit Ideas
When the occasion calls for elegance, these men’s Valentine’s Day outfits are perfect for fine dining or black-tie events.
Classic Suit and Tie
A tailored suit paired with a matching tie creates an undeniably sophisticated look. Opt for timeless colours like navy or charcoal and accessorise with a pocket square for a polished finish.
Three-Piece Suit
Add that extra touch with a three-piece suit. The addition of a waistcoat creates depth and formality, making it perfect for upscale Valentine’s Day celebrations.
Tuxedo (Black Tie Look)
For black-tie events, a tuxedo is the obvious choice. Pair it with a classic black bow tie, patent leather shoes and a crisp white pocket square for a timeless, elegant look.
Modern Slim-Fit Beige Suit
A slim-fit beige suit is a contemporary take on formalwear. Perfect for daytime Valentine’s events, it pairs beautifully with a patterned tie or pocket square for a pop of personality.
Accessories to Elevate Your Valentine’s Day Outfit
No look is complete without the perfect accessories. From watches to belts, these finishing touches can take your Valentine’s Day outfit to the next level.
Watches
A sleek watch adds an air of refinement to any outfit. Opt for a classic design for formal attire or a bold chronograph for casual semi-formal looks.
Belts and Shoes
Ensure your belt and shoes complement your outfit. Black leather is ideal for formal settings, while brown tones work well with casual and semi-formal ensembles.
Bow Tie
For formal outfits, a bow tie is a classic accessory. Choose a classic black or experiment with patterns to add a touch of personality to your look.
