Let’s face it guys, Valentine’s Day is all about making your lady happy.  Selecting a romantic restaurant and buying some flowers and candy is a no-brainer.  You’re expected to do at least that much.  If you really want to see a smile on her face when you pick her up, put some thought into your choice of clothing.  Every woman loves a dapper guy.  Here are some tips to ensure you are dressed appropriately for your special night out.  First, don’t wear anything you would normally wear to the bar on a Saturday afternoon to watch college basketball with your buddies.  This means absolutely no hats, hoodies or sneakers.  She sees you in this stuff everyday – time to step up your game.  If you’re taking her to a fancy spot, don’t be afraid to put on a suit.  Just be careful not to look like you’re going to a business meeting.  Pick a modern suit (flat front – no cuffs) with a slim cut – preferably black or navy.  Lose the tie and wear a shirt with some color (pink, purple, blue) and/or understated pattern (micro check, gingham, mini-plaid or stripe).  If you’re taking her to one of the new hip hot-spots – a suit may not be right.  Choose a pair of straight leg denim – the darker the better.  The same kind of shirt mentioned above is appropriate – just make sure you tuck it in.  A nice solid cashmere or merino wool v-neck sweater over the shirt will add a layered polished look.  Finish it off with a casual blazer or sportcoat.  Not a suit coat – these are generally cut too long and are not right with jeans.  Finally, don’t overlook your shoes.  That’s the first thing most women notice.    Now you’re looking good and ready to impress your lady.  Play your cards right and she may even reward you when you get home – if you know what I mean!
