You’ve done it. You finally have a date for Valentine’s Day. It may be a gal’s night out for sushi or a romantic dinner at a cozy brasserie with your significant other; whatever the occasion, you’ve got plans on the 14th. And the best part about having Valentine’s Day plans? Dressing the part.

Our Top Picks

Heading to a casual Galentine’s night? Throw on a light pink cashmere sweater with a playful pattern, a pair of dark-wash denim, and some booties. Or are you off to a fancy, romantic dinner? Well, in that case, wear something a little flirty, maybe a velvet little black dress with some over-the-knee boots. The outfit you choose is a celebration of the day, a celebration of love, regardless of who you’re with and what you’re doing. And the most important rule in dressing for Valentine’s Day? Self-love: Choose an outfit that makes you love yourself first and foremost, something you are comfortable and confident in.

Whether your plans are taking you out on the town or to the comfort of your couch for a rom-com viewing in your heart-themed pajamas, we’ve got some inspiration for you to make this Valentine’s Day extra special. Don’t worry, it’s not all red hearts and mushy hues. We’ve got 31 outfits to suit every kind of soul out there.
