Here comes 14th Feb! 

Assuming you already have an idea what gift to buy for your guy (but if you haven't a clue yet, check out Mr Goodheart's recommendations) - it's time to start thinking of what you're gonna wear for that big date! 

Still frazzled by what to wear and where to go this Valentine's Day? 

Changeparade is here to help  :)


For The Luxe Lovers

Scene 1: The afternoon check-in for a staycation at a romantic boutique hotel. Try Naumi.
 

Just because you are on a staycation doesn’t give you an excuse to dress like you're going to the wet market. Chic casual doesn't have to mean sloppy. These stylish casual outfits will ensure you get 'checked-out' when you check-in.
 
  • Ase crossback top in Coral , Sienna drape dress in Midnight, Doreen Dusty dress in Lavender
     
 
 
Scene 2: The evening begins with oeur d'oeuvres and drinks at the coolest hotel lounges or the latest be-seen-at joints
 
 
 
Be a master of seduction in these sexy and elegant outfits. These classy and enticing dresses will have him eating out of your hand the whole night.
 
  • Aphrodite dress in Midnight, Rosebud low cowl back dress, Alice Chains in Midnight

      

 

A Touch of Office Romance

Scene: Candlelight dinner at any of the wine bistros at Robertson Quay or at Dempsey Hill.

 

Nothing more thrilling than getting caught in the act with an office colleague - but make sure you look your best in case your colleagues catch you on your secret date!

  •  Amber Asymmetrical dress in Grey, Dainty Alyssa peplum dress in Midnight, Wild Thing in Snow
   
 

 

In the Mood for Love

Scene: GV Gold class cinema with its premium reclinable armchairs - now if only they had reclinable love seats too.
  

 
Just a casual movie and dinner - c'mon it's our first date, let's take it slow :)

Dress to impress but without sending the wrong signals!

  • Tyra in Tangerine Tango dress, Trixie Tulip Keyhole dress in Grapepink, Kendall Grapepink bodycon dress

   

 

It's All About the Food, Baby!

Scene: Awesome Japanese sashimi buffet or Champagne dinner buffet. Because you love food as much as you love each other.
 
 
 
Who says you can't look seductive in a dress that has a roomy waist? Go ahead and load up on those aphrodisiac oysters and chocolate truffles.
 
  • Simone Stylist dress in Lavender, Persephone dress in Nude Cream, Midnight Chain Letter dress
  
   

 

The Outdoorsy Couple

Scene: Romantic dinner on the beach at sunset. Away from the crowds, pretend that you're the last two people in the world.

 

If you guys don't like the commercialism of Valentine's day and the ridiculously jacked-up dinner package prices and the OTT bouquets, perhaps some romantic quiet time alone is what you think of as the perfect date?

Opt for light flowy pieces such as a maxi skirt and a floral top - a laidback but classy and feminine combination. 
 
Even though it's a relaxing and comfortable date with your loved one, resist the temptation to underdress, you don't want to look slouchy or frumpy on Valentine's day!
 
A long maxi skirt speaks volumes in style. Check out Laura's pairing on wrinkleintimevintage. Plus, these long skirts also help keep your flawless long legs from getting bitten by mosquitoes!
 
  • Magdalene maxi skirt in Cream, Fussi Loves Flouncy Flowers top
