‘Tis the (cuffing) season! Yup, it’s still that time of year. A new year means cuffing season, part deux. It’s cold out and warm loungewear, couch cuddling and Valentine’s Day manifestations are in (raise your hand if your Valentine’s Day goal for next year is to be with the love of your life). Two years into a pandemic and loungewear is still as popular as ever. But how about comfortable fashion that is cute but sexy enough to wear on a date? Leave it to us and the style experts at Cherry Blossom Intimates to curate a ‘Cuffing Season, 2022 Guide to Dating’ that will fill your wardrobe with all the elements of comfort you’ve gotten accustomed to and fashionable ideas for the best date night outfits just in time for Valentine’s Day and the biggest dating season ever.

But first, let’s answer some common questions about this dating season. If you’re single, pay close attention to this season’s rules of dating. The stakes are high, temperatures are low, and competition is fierce with more eligible bachelors and bachelorettes on the dating market than ever before.

What is cuffing season? Cuffing season’s meaning is simple. It’s a period of time when singles date in the hopes of being ‘cuffed’ to pass the colder months of the year. But what is cuffing in dating you ask?  What exactly does cuffed mean in a relationship? ‘Cuffing’ is the desire to be tied into a relationship (don’t you wish this was the desire all year long!). Think of it as a search for a special someone to binge watch shows with and complain to about the holidays. When is cuffing season? Thanks to hot girl summer and fellas being obsessed with football in the fall, cuffing season, part un starts in November and continues strong through December with a holiday vengeance. Cuffing season is especially offensive since it covers all the major holidays that singles dread. We know y’all hate it when your family members ask, “When are you going to settle down and start a family?” Now, we’re not trying to scare you and neither is cuffing season (ghost emoji), but did you notice the season conveniently starts the day after Halloween? (Boo hoo indeed.)

Part deux begins just as the ball drops on New Years and takes us through the oh so beloved holiday known to singles as Judgement Day.. err we mean Valentine’s Day. Cuffing season ends in March as the weather is warming, wardrobes are changing, and spring love is emerging.

What we are here to do is ease your search for a cuffing season, part deux partner (it’s ok if part un was a bust) and empower you to spend the rest of the season the way you want to. Now, we must admit we’re not experts in e-ver-y-thing so we’ve partnered with Cherry Blossom Intimates, a luxury intimates boutique and breast health facility  for every woman, no matter your bra size or skin color, to make you feel confident and look amazing.
