Part 2 of the Men's Capsule Wardrobe for Dating shows you how to create different outfits for all sorts of dating occasions from the pieces I showed you in Part 1.

With the addition of some well chosen accessories see the first 5 of 20 outfits I've created below:

High shine shoes with a rubber sole and a sleek belt help to make this outfit pinsharp for a trip to the theatre. The floral pocket square adds a little fun and flourish. Fold neatly or have have a relaxed "puff". If floral's not your thing, go for a more subtle pattern such as a spot or paisley.

Kick back on your cinema date in this laid back, but stylish outfit. Real men DO wear pink - and if it's paired with dark denim, a pale blue shirt, and timeless peacoat it keeps it classic. Throw on a toning scarf to win an Oscar for your outfit.

Keep it casual on your date at the zoo with a cardigan, and soft suede boots, + layer the YMC t-shirt under the shirt if you think it's going to be nippy. Take along your charming Lomography camera and impress your date with dreamy images taken on film!

Keep your outfit modern and fresh amongst the relics on your museum date. Staying with the classic blue shirt, pair it with the unstuctured, but fitted blazer and add contrast with brown suede boots, plaited belt and toning striped socks.

The rest of your outfit is simple and sophisticated so give yourself some artistic licence with the pink knit and flash of neon stripes on your scarf for your art gallery date.
