Valentine’s Day Outfits for Each Occasion
Ah, Valentine’s Day - love is in the air, and pinks and reds are popping up everywhere. Roses are spilling out of shopfronts, and let’s be honest, a few panicked partners are making some last-minute dashes to the stores. But what about us? The real dilemma usually hits the night before (or let’s be real, the day of): What am I going to wear?
No need to panic, mon amie. I’ve got you covered. Valentine’s Day is the perfect reason to play dress-up (or keep it effortlessly chic) and add a little extra je ne sais quoi to your look. Whether you’re heading out for a romantic dinner with your love, gathering your best girlfriends for a fabulous night out, or staying in for a cozy evening, there’s an outfit that’s just right for you. Let’s make it a day to celebrate love - and your style. 💕
Romantic Evening with Your Partner
For a special night out with your significant other, think elegance and allure. This is your chance to lean into timeless styles or daring silhouettes that make you feel confident and glamorous. You could channel your inner femme fatale with some sexy and strong looks.
Try a classic black dress…
…or if you’re feeling more daring, a shirtless coordinated sexy suit in a “you can’t miss” color like red.
Pair either with some pointed heels and either opt for a slick up do or leave your hair just a bit messy.
If you’re looking for a more polished look that shows off your softer side, combine delicate fabrics such as a pink silk skirt and a cashmere sweater ensemble.
But if it’s a little too on the nose for you, try a classic elegant pleated skirt and black top. Pull your hair back for an easy and classic style. This outfit + hair combo never fails!
And any updo will compliment the femininity of the outfit and is a great occasion to show off some beautiful dangly earrings.
Fun Girls’ Night Out
My favorite way to spend an evening out? With my girlfriends, hands down—especially on Valentine’s Day. Sure, it’s a day dedicated to love, but let’s be honest, isn’t it really about us, ladies? And let’s not pretend: dressing up for a significant other is one thing, but the real challenge? Choosing an outfit that wows your friends. No pressure, right? Don’t worry, I’ve got you. Listen closely...
Galentine’s is often about going big, I love a sparkly skirt with sweater combo. It has just the right amount of pazzazz and a sweater to keep it modern.
Throw on a pair of heels for the perfect outfit formula.

If you’re looking for a sexier outfit, look no further than black. Opt for elongating bootcut pants and a sheer top. I am loving this one.
Throw on an oversized blazer to keep you hot!

Relaxing Self-Care Night In
If all of this just sounds like too much hassle, and you’re just looking for some time at home alone, with your partner, or with a few friends, the quiet night-in is your solution. Make your home your temple. Light a few candles, get some treats, pour some wine, and pick out these items from your closet.
Staying in requires soft fabrics and relaxed fits, so pick your favorite matching set! I love neutral-toned loungewear, but I could not resist these heart printed pajamas!

If on the other hand you will be having some friends over for dinner and a movie and the dress code isn’t “your best pajamas”, pair your coziest sweater with some silk pants for an instant chic look that is equal parts comfy.
If you’re looking to stay more on theme, black pants or jeans and a red cardigan will do just the trick.
No matter how you’re spending Valentine’s Day, it’s a fun occasion to get dressed up and pull us out of weary winter. Now you have plenty of inspiration to pick from and I can’t wait to see your outfit!
