 If you've got a Valentine's Day date coming up, you want to look your best, but not going overboard is very important to making a good impression, especially if it's a date with someone you're just starting to get to know. Today I'm showing you one way to dress casually, but still look put together for Valentine's Day. Let's get one thing straight. You absolutely do not need to wear red on Valentine's Day. For me, it's just a little too obvious and can easily make you look like you're trying too hard. Instead, try darker colors like a deep navy. It's cool and really gives off the impression that you're confident and put together. I really like turtlenecks, and a turtleneck is a great substitute for a button-up shirt or crew neck sweater. It's elegant, it's got a relaxed sophistication, but it's still casual at the same time, especially if you're wearing it with jeans. Now if you keep the rest of your outfit relatively simple, it's always good to add in some type of accessory. And for me, nothing is better than a lightweight silk scarf. Finally, you need to anchor your look with great footwear. A pair of wingtip leather dress boots like the Dalton I'm wearing here from Ald Edmunds is your go-to pair of boots for a casual date look like this.
