For the Boys...'Snips and snails and puppy dogs tails'

1. Buy a new shirt: I hate to generalize but boys are notoriously inept when faced with an ironing board. Therefore its much easier to buy a new shirt. Whether it is a T-shirt or a dress shirt its important to turn up clean & crisp. A new T-shirt or dress shirt looks great with jeans or formal pants, it also has no memories of a past date. It also has no former meals splashed down the front! A new shirt will fit your current body-shape and will add immediate style and confidence. Ben Sherman is my pick for any shirt, they come with style and funk rolled into one.

2. Wear a Jacket: Ever since Sir Walter Raleigh laid down his cloak for Queen Elizabeth to walk over a puddle, men have been sacrificing their jackets. Lets face it most dates are going to wear a 'cute little dress', which obviously doesn't hold the heat once the sun goes down. There is nothing sexier than giving up your jacket for your valentine, besides its important to have pockets to put your mobile and wallet in. Man bags on Valentine's Day are a no no! French Connection UK have some stylist light weight jackets. Grey is a the perfect workable colour as it looks good with jeans or black pants.

3. Shoes: If there's ever a time to ditch the runners today is the day. A great pair of leather shoe s works with even the tattiest work jeans. Faux crocodile skin give a prosperous look, but please not the black school shoes and thongs. Remember what ever shoes you wear they must have an element of spit and polish before you meet your Valentine. Zu for men do excellent reasonable price shoes that tick all the boxes. If you are wearing black/brown shoes DO NOT wear white socks. Choose a dark colour that blends.

4. Accessorize: Added extras are not just for girls. Guys look great in a hat or scarf. but if you re not that adventurous try to remember to wear your watch (especially if it was your grandfathers, as its a great conversation filler) Even a simple silver chain, shows that you've given added attention to detail.

5. Statement undies: Make sure your undies are clean and have anything from Bonds to Calvin Klein on the waist elastic. Who knows you may get lucky!!
