1: Fun Drive-In Movie
Upgrade your regular dinner and a movie - think popcorn, choc-tops and comfy clothes! When deciding between date ideas for Valentine's Day, the drive-in movie is a classic for a reason. A combination of romantic and relaxed, pack your car with pillows and blankets for a cosy evening watching the latest rom-com!
What To Wear to a Drive-In Movie?
You should wear something warm and comfortable to the drive-ins. For women, opt for a relaxed, breathable top like a soft women's knit sweater or a casual graphic t-shirt for a laid-back vibe. Pair with high-waisted women's jeans or comfortable women's leggings for a balance of style and comfort. Then finish it off by slipping into some trendy women's sneakers for a practical yet chic look. Layer with a cosy oversized cardigan for warmth as the evening cools down.
For men, go for a casual button-down shirt for effortless style with a pair of slim-fit chinos for a polished yet relaxed feel. Wear clean men's sneakers to keep it comfortable and stylish, and complete by throwing on a lightweight bomber jacket for a cool, layered look.
2: Romantic and Refreshing Day Hike
Head to your local hiking track or make a day of it and drive somewhere more remote. Add a little romance by waking up early to watch the sun as it rises over the treetops!
What To Wear on a Romantic Day Hike?
For simple Valentine's Day outfits, activewear is your best friend! For women, choose a moisture-wicking, breathable activewear top like a lightweight women's active t-shirt to keep cool, protected and dry. Opt for durable, stretchy women's sports leggings with plenty of pockets for convenience and ease of movement. Wear supportive, grippy women's sports sneakers to tackle uneven terrain with confidence. Finish by layering with a lightweight, water-resistant ladies jacket for changing weather conditions.
For guys, lean towards a quick-drying, breathable activewear t-shirt to manage sweat and temperature. Pair with rugged, quick-drying hiking shorts that offer flexibility and storage options. Sturdy trail shoes with excellent traction are a must for stability on rough paths. Layer with a lightweight, weather-resistant jacket for warmth and protection.
3: Thrilling Ice Skating
Ice skating is not only the perfect excuse to hold hands with your partner, but it features in a number of rom-coms for a reason! There's just something special about the cool air and the ice rink that just sings romance.
What To Wear on an Ice-Skating Date?
Valentine's Day date outfit ideas are easy to choose when you know what your date activity is. Start with a snug, thermal base layer like a fitted turtleneck to keep you warm without bulk. Pair it with thick, stretchy jeans for comfort and insulation on the ice. Wear warm, waterproof boots with good grip for walking to and from the rink - opt for a stylish pair to elevate the look. Finish with a sleek, insulated wool coat that's both cosy and stylish.
For men, a fitted sweater for a warm, polished look is perfect for the rink. Choose some comfortable men's jeans that allow for easy movement and keep you warm. Opt for some comfy sports sneakers to travel to and from the rink, then layer with a classic quilted jacket for warmth and timeless appeal.
4: Cosy Breakfast in Bed
Time poor this Valentine's Day but still want to think of cute Valentine's date ideas? Don't sleep on the simple, yet extremely sweet breakfast in bed. Stay in your pjs under the covers and enjoy scrambled eggs, pancakes and freshly squeezed orange juice!
What To Wear?
For this cosy date, choose a soft, fitted camisole with delicate lace detailing for a touch of elegance. Pair with matching, high-waisted pyjama pants in a luxurious fabric like satin or brushed cotton. Keep it cosy with plush slippers for ultimate comfort!
For men, go for a relaxed outfit with a breathable pyjama shirt or a classic crewneck sleep tee in a soft, comfortable fabric. Pair with matching drawstring pyjama pants or lounge shorts for a laid-back yet polished look. Slide into cosy slippers or go barefoot for a relaxed vibe!
5: Relaxed Picnic In The Park
If the weather allows, then a picnic in the park is one of many fun Valentine's date ideas. Pack a picnic blanket, a charcuterie board and your favourite dips. End the day renting bikes and riding through your favourite part of town.
What To Wear to a Picnic in the Park?
For women, choose a dreamy summer outfit, such as a comfy tank top in a cheerful print or pastel shade for a fresh, summery look. For bottoms, pair with a midi skirt for comfort and ease while sitting on the grass. Slip into stylish sandals for a laid-back yet polished vibe. Then layer with a lightweight denim jacket for a chic touch if the weather turns cool.
For guys, lean towards a relaxed polo in a light fabric for a smart-casual feel and pair with lightweight trousers for a comfortable, put-together look. Wear some casual shoes for a blend of comfort and sophistication, then finish with a lightweight blazer for a touch of refinement.
6: Serene Winery Date
When deciding on date ideas for Valentine's Day, it might be time to splurge on yourselves and head out to a winery - or perhaps a brewery depending on your tastes! You can organise a sample tasting menu or even a lunch out in the sun. Make a weekend of it and stay in a local bed and breakfast too.
What To Wear to a Winery?
For women, go for a breezy, off-the-shoulder blouse in a soft, elegant fabric like silk or chiffon for a touch of romance. For bottoms, pair with tailored linen women's trousers in a neutral or earthy tone to complement the vineyard setting. Choose stylish block-heel ladies sandals for comfort on uneven terrain while maintaining a polished look. Complete your outfit with a lightweight trench coat for a sophisticated finish, especially if the evening turns cool.
For men, opt for a crisp, button-up shirt in a light fabric for a smart yet relaxed look. Pair with tailored chinos for a refined, vineyard-appropriate style. Wear leather loafers or clean, minimalist men's sneakers for a balance of comfort and sophistication. Finally, layer with a casual sports coat to elevate the outfit while staying comfortable.
7: Delightful Dinner At Home
There's nothing quite like a romantic evening together at home, enjoying a meal and even a cheeky cocktail. Get creative with your cooking - you could try to recreate some of your restaurant favourites or even the meal you ate on your first date! To enjoy the perfect dinner at home, ensure you have all the cookware you need to prepare the meal effortlessly and serve your food with the perfect dinnerware and cutlery. You can also create a beautiful table setting and atmosphere with table cloths, placemats, fragranced candles, faux flowers and decorative vases.
What To Wear For an At Home Dinner Date?
A night in at home doesn't mean you can't choose cute outfits for Valentine's Day. Ladies can choose a soft, fitted knit ladies sweater or a nice women's t-shirt with delicate details for a balance of comfort and elegance. Pair it with high-waisted tailored trousers or a sleek and stylish skirt for a polished yet relaxed look. You can also finish with some cosy slippers or stay barefoot to keep it intimate and comfortable.
For guys, a well-fitted men's button-up shirt in a soft fabric will look perfect on you, and pair it with dark, slim-fit jeans or chinos for a clean, put-together appearance. For footwear, keep it simple with cosy socks or bare feet to match the relaxed setting.
8: Entertaining Paint And Sip
Casual and a lot of fun, get your hands dirty with a painting class. Perfect for any experience level, paint the night away with your partner while you enjoy a glass of bubbly.
What To Wear to a Paint and Sip Date?
If you've chosen classy Valentine's Day outfits, perhaps painting might be a bit intimidating. For the ladies, a relaxed, button-up shirt or cute maxi dress in a neutral or artistic print to reflect the creative vibe is perfect. Pair with comfortable, high-waisted jeans or a flowy midi skirt that allows for easy movement while sitting or standing. Opt for stylish yet practical women's flat shoes to keep you comfortable during the class, and layer with a lightweight, cropped denim jacket for a casual, artsy touch.
For the boys, go for a graphic tee that shows off your creative side, and pair with dark jeans for a clean, relaxed look that's perfect for a creative setting. For shoes, wear clean sneakers for a balance of comfort and style. And finally, layer with a lightweight, flannel shirt for a laid-back, artistic feel.
