Part 5 - Menswear capsule wardrobe for dating
Our final outfit selection for the Capsule Dating Wardrobe. Happy dating and Happy Valentine's Day!
Be a barista of style and serve up a great outfit for your casual coffee date. Filter down fuss for an easy look and add extra taste with accessories - chocolate suede boots, extra large Nixon watch, and skinny plait belt.
Maybe you're being introduced for the first time to "her" friends at a party, so make sure your outfit is a sharp example of urban cool. Go for a streamlined finish with a dash of colour. Wear the scarf "a la David Gandy" for supermodel status.
No room for jokes when planning your choice of clothing for your date out at a comedy night. Aim for effortless cool and laid back elegance with an easy ensemble of jeans, polo knit and blazer. Wear your scarf understated side up but silence style hecklers with it's flashes of neon.
Take a romantic walk in the park with your date on a crisp winter day. Go for timeless pieces with jeans, peacoat and classic grey crew neck. Layer a t-shirt or shirt under to really nip the cold in the bud, and keep hand-holding with your lady warm and toasty with these colour block gloves.
Introduce your date to the exclusivity of your member's club for a relaxed social evening. A contemporary polo knit and slim cotton trousers make a refined choice, and teamed with sleek lace-ups and chunky ring your look will reach the epitome of elegance.
