14 Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas You're Going To Love
Valentine's or Galentines, I've got you covered.
Say what you want about Valentine’s Day, but any excuse to get dressed up and go out with my man is a win in my book.
The holiday of ~love~ is no exception.
We go out to dinner every year, but not necessarily on Valentine’s Day (restaurants are too hectic on February 14th and I don’t love a fixed menu). We’ll typically make reservations for the weekend before or the weekend after.
I’ll wear a dress; Mark will wear a button-down; we drink wine and eat calamari and fancy pasta until we’re too full to move.
Oh, and we’ll order a piece of cake to go, because why the heck not?
It’s excellent.
But even if you don’t go out for Valentine’s Day, you can still get dressed up for a date night in, and if you’re celebrating Galentine’s day with brunch or a rom-com marathon, getting all dolled up with your girlies is always a good time. (Plus, it all makes for great photos - I know you’re documenting that charcuterie spread for the ‘gram, ladies.)
I know what you might be thinking.
“OK Julia, but I have enough trouble figuring out an outfit for regular ol’ date night. What am I supposed to wear for a themed date night?”
So glad you asked.
It just so happens that shopping for specific occasions has become one of my specialties and favorite pastimes.
Up ahead, I’ve rounded up a few festive pieces I’ve spotted around the internet in recent weeks that would be perfect for any and every Valentine’s Day soiree. Whether you’re keeping it low-key, or you and your boo or besties have decided to dress to the nines this year, there’s something for everyone.
And if you aren’t shopping, hopefully, this list will serve as inspiration for an outfit you can piece together with items you already own!
