Outfit Ideas for Valentines Day

Valentine’s Day is here, and regardless of relationship status, we’re all in a sartorial dilemma. Which is why we at The Stork, put together a series of looks to help you slip into the mood today!

For a date:

A formal shirt, with a blazer on top go a long way! Just make sure to pair it with something more casual (like jeans) so that she knows you’re willing to put in effort for the relationship, but not too much effort. Because let’s face it, ironing pants is too much effort.

A fun floral top works great this time of the year! You’re just reminding yourself, and your date, of all the warmer places you could be in. Mallorca, Cadiz, the Bahamas… Thinking of all these places will give you the perfect Dreamy Eyed Girl look, completing the outfit.

Single and hitting the club:

It’s time to paint the town red, and shine bright like a diamond! We recommend wearing bright colours like red, or eye-catching sequins. Not only will this draw attention to you in the club, it’ll help your friend find you when you sneak out to throw up next to the dustbins. The essential ingredient to whatever outfit you pick, is making sure your hands are up when the DJ plays Single Ladies.

The key to picking up ladies on Valentine’s Day is to look like you’re not there to pick up ladies. Keep your blazer from the date, but make it more casual. You’re thinking what we're thinking – a basic white T-shirt. Remember to keep a coat, because then you can offer it to your girl of choice while telling her how you have the right temperature to shelter her from the storm. Not creepy. At all.

Bonus tip for the next morning:

Want to avoid the consequences of your wild night? Sunglasses are great at hiding your tired, puffy eyes! They also help you avoid eye contact with all the people you hit on last night...

And if you’re of the belief that Valentine’s Day is nothing but propaganda furthering the agenda of a coldblooded capitalistic society, fret not, we have you covered too:
