With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking date-night style. But even Casanova, the iconic smooth-talker, had a face that required a little help from his tailor (and barber and cobbler) to win over his lover. From shoes, to jackets to the finer details like accessories, here are 10 stylish men's items for men to rock this Valentine’s Day, that’ll leave a lasting impression on your beau. And perhaps score you a follow-up dinner á deux soon after.

Candy-heart colours are back this Valentine’s Day thanks to Off-White. The saccharine brights lights up the streetwear brand’s take on tailoring, as seen in this pair of wide-leg trousers. Made from fuchsia stretch-cotton twill cotton, these even some racy arrow emblems at the back—the label’s known signature print.

Add some va-va-voom to the traditional boot this Valentine’s Day.

The elevated sole adds some height to your evening look too.

For the romantic at heart, you can’t go past flowers. Versace has released a Baroque-print shirt in black silk with flamboyant florals. That’s in addition to the Italian brand’s signature Medusa hardware and gold-tone buttons. Keep the rest of the outfit black.

10. Tateossian ring

A simple outfit needs blinging with the accessories: think an impressive watch or even jewellery. That said, Tateossian’s signet ring oozes rugged elegance for men, thanks to the brushed silver finished, and comes crowned with a faceted tiger-eye stone. Go get ‘em.
