M&S' £35 wrap dress is our perfect date night outfit (2024)

We've had our eye on this pretty pointelle-knit jumper featuring subtle hearts and sweet frilly trims, and Valentine's Day feels like the perfect time to strike. Try it with black leather trousers for some oomph.

We can't resist a puff sleeve, especially when romance is called for, so we'll be indulging in whimsy and taking this pink checked dress to dinner, either with strappy heels or lowkey white trainers.

You can't go wrong with M&S' elegant black wrap dress. Stylish yet easy to wear, it is both flattering and feminine thanks to its silhouette-enhancing tie at the waist. This is a versatile style that you'll wear again and again.

We're always lusting after Sezane's beautiful knitwear – blissfully soft, always luxe-looking and in all our favourite colours. This bardot mohair jumper is so cute paired with denim. Just add hoops and chunky heels.

We own RIXO's hero lace top in both white and black, and both are firm fixtures in our capsule wardrobe. It pairs beautifully with everything from jeans to slip skirts, and the ruffled cuffs look cute poking out under a cashmere knit or blazer.

If it's some Valentine's Day lingerie that you're after, to treat yourself let alone your partner, look to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's bestselling M&S range. This silky cami feels suitably sexy and we love the rich merlot shade for February. Don't forget the matching French knickers!

The secret's out about M&S' cashmere; it's great quality at a very reasonable price. This rose roll neck will one you reach for on chilly days every winter, and it comes in eight other colours. Look to the crew neck style too – great for layering over blouses with frilly necklines and cuffs.

We're lusting after this red and pink stripe co-ord, block printed by hand and sure to earn a permanent spot in your holiday suitcase. Even if you're not jetting off to warmer climes this Valentine's Day, it makes a cute night in set too.

Every woman needs a tuxedo jacket in her going out arsenal, and we love H&M's oversized style with its satin shawl lapels. Matching trousers this way, or throw it over your favourite dress for that cool feminine/masculine mix.

Pearls and bows have both been big news later, so these playful hoops make the perfect finishing touch for any Valentine's Day look.

Exuding vintage romance with its high collar and intricate embroidery, this pure silk blouse ticks all our boxes for a date night or drinks with the girls.

PJs but make them fancy. Sleeper's iconic feather-trimmed set, loved by Barbie star Margot Robbie no less, are pure glamour. Just add a glass of Champagne and you're all set for a romantic night in.

French brand Balzac Paris is brimming with chic pieces fresh from the City of Love, and this comfy red sweater feels right on trend. Note the subtle heart in the middle – a nod to Valentine's Day, but not at all saccharine. Team it with vinyl trousers for a gig or pub night.

With Nothing Underneath is go-to for stylish shirting that we'll buy once and love forever. For a 'borrowed from the boys' look this Valentine's Day, try this red and white striped staple tucked into dark wash jeans.

Looking for some more casual Valentine's outfit inspo? We've just snapped up a pair of these burgundy Gazelles – ideal for adding some fun accent colour to a neutral get-up and heading to the cinema.
