Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday in 2027, so expect the dinner reservations to spread across the whole weekend.

A romantic dinner is the perfect moment for tailoring that feels special without looking stiff. A dark suit in navy, charcoal or deep burgundy, worn with an open-necked shirt or a fine knit, strikes the right balance. A velvet jacket in bottle green or midnight blue is a lovely alternative for an evening out. For ladies, a tailored dress or a softly cut trouser suit in a rich colour is elegant and comfortable through a long dinner.
