It’s time for a romantic date night y’all! This calls for high-fashion, sleek style and looking your absolute best! While stay-in dates are always fun, a day or night out is about flaunting your beau and taking lots of selfies. So why not take #FashionInspo from your favourite celebs to amp up your fits and keep the flame of love burning bright? Here are our picks:
For the ladies
‘Dress’ it up
We know red is the first colour that comes to mind when you think of a Valentine's Day-inspired date, but why not skip that and go for the classics? Kriti Sanon’s LBD (little black dress, of course!) with ruffles and a sexy sweetheart neckline is a great way to look sultry. The thigh-high slit adds oomph, while the soft waves in her hair and minimal makeup makes the look great! Adding gold jewellery is truly a pro move!
Masaba Masaba Season 2 and Instagram star Kareema Barry shows us exactly how to dazzle! This shimmery shirt dress with bicycle shorts is chic, stylish and glam. The chunky platform boots and mini-bag make it a great look!
Flaunt your suit
Monochrome pantsuits are every girl boss’s calling! Take cue from Janhvi Kapoor, who wears this jet-black pantsuit in style. The corset top adds edge while the fitted jacket flatters all her curves. The winged eyeliner is on point too, what more does one need?
If wearing colour is more your style, take inspo from Mouni Roy. This electric blue pantsuit makes her look like royalty. The bustier top adds a sexy touch, while the cape gives the outfit a flare of drama. The bootcut pants bring retro back while her slick-back hair keeps things modern and fresh!
Go desi
When it comes to casual desi fashion, who better to look at than Sonam Kapoor Ahuja? This monochrome kaftan-inspired emerald green set is the stuff of casual fashionistas. The anti-fit silhouette gives you more room to accessorise your look with chunky jewellery like Sonam. Wear a neat bun in your hair, carry a clutch, and you’re all set.
Vidya Balan has done it again — she looks absolutely breathtaking in this red sari. There’s nothing better than six yards of elegance to be the desi girl you’ve always wanted to be. Wear shoulder-duster earrings, bangles and a bindi, don’t forget to wear roses in your hair to complete the look.
For the gentlemen
Easy casuals for the win
This easy-peasy look by Emraan Hashmi is so simple to recreate! Put on your favourite white tee and pair of blue denims for starters. Layer the outfit with a jacket of your choice — go for pastels or neutral colours like black, brown or even tan — and wear your favourite watch. Don’t forget to wear your shades for a brunch date or accessorise with rings.
If you want to look funky and quirky, look to Vicky Kaushal for inspo. Printed shirts are a versatile and easy way to add texture and colour to your look. Pick a colour from your shirt and wear pants to match the look. With chain necklaces and your favourite sneakers, you’re ready for date night.
Suit up!
Want to impress your beau? There’s nothing better than a suit for that. Kunal Kapoor looks drool-worthy in this green suit with a turtleneck. The simplicity of the monochrome look makes it a no-fuss outfit to wear. Make sure your shirt is a hue lighter or darker than your suit, which will add contrast, and wear your lace-up Oxfords — all you need to do now is buy your bae flowers!
There’s nothing classier than an all-black suit, and Akshay Kumar is proof. It’s easy to wear, flattering on all body types and very classy. Wear fancy cufflinks and a pocket square to complete the look. Wear some funky socks that would peek out from time-to-time adding a fun element to your outfit.
Add some Indo-western fun
India’s heartthrob Rohit Saraf looks so cute in this sherwani-kurta combo. Not only do the embellishments bring a little OTT fun to the look, but also make it perfect for a V-Day date! The straight leg pants add height to your silhouette making it that much better.
Look to Rajkumar Rao for indie fits inspo! This short kurta and straight pants combo is a classic look to flaunt. Pair a bright coloured kurta (if you’re feeling risque, go for a kurta with an asymmetrical hem) with neutral coloured pants and you’re ready!
