So for guys, the ticket is usually “dress to impress”. And while your date is likely to be impressed enough if you show up for date night in a dinner jacket or sport coat alone, nothing says “well put-together man” like a full suit. If you want to really up the wow factor, Opposuits has the suits that deliver. With all the fashion sense of a modern slim cut men's suit, they utilize outlandish graphic designs and bold colors that are sure to make any guy stand out! Try our Mr. Lover Heart suit to wear your heart on your sleeve (literally). If graphic hearts aren't quite your jam, we have bold pink and red Opposuits that will let you coordinate with your partner, with the décor, or even with that bouquet of flowers. You did remember to order the flowers, right?

Our exclusive Bright Colored Tuxedos have red and pink versions that come in just the right hue. If you envy tuxedo style but aren't quite ready to go that formal (no judgment!), we are also proud to offer the most modern dress-down style ever invented: the Traxedo! With classic tux details printed on the zip-up jacket, and even a velcro-on bowtie, these comfy suits are perfect for when date night is a night in, or for gym dates – if that's your thing!

You can pin a devil tail on to let her know you're a little naughty. And of course, one of the easiest accessories is to just throw on a classic heart costume. After all, February 14th is not a day for the timid!
