Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday. Yes, it even beats out Christmas! It’s the perfect occasion to celebrate all the love in your life—whether you’re spending the evening with your man, your girls, or your kids.
This fashion-forward holiday is also a great excuse to dress up your usual style. If you’ve got a date night planned, surprise your partner by swapping your regular little black dress for cherry red.
Staying in? You can still look chic for a night of Netflix and chocolate.
Whatever your plans are this year, save yourself the stress of last-minute shopping and start planning your look now. Here are my top tips for choosing the perfect Valentine’s Day outfit:
Be Festive, Not Loud
Make the most of classic Valentine’s Day colors without going overboard. Pick one bold hue—pink or red, not both—and keep your accessories neutral. I love this heart-shaped bag from Alaïa, available in white and pink with matching pumps.
Feeling bold? Check out Blake Lively’s head-to-toe Barbie pink look for inspiration.
If you’re not a pink or red girl, go with a neutral outfit (white, cream, or black) and glam up your accessories! These red statement earrings will elevate any Valentine’s Day outfit.
Sparkle and Shine
The holidays may be over, but Valentine’s Day is your official excuse to dig out that sequin dress again. At this dreary time of year, we all need a little extra sparkle.
Break out of the winter style rut and add some shine to your Valentine’s Day outfit with these chain-link earrings from Oscar de la Renta.
Charming Chic
Valentine’s Day is the perfect holiday to try out a daring new look. This Givenchy turtleneck bodysuit is both playful and elegant, guaranteed to give your date heart eyes.
Show a little skin with these red crepe shorts, a matching bag, and blush pink pumps. I love the bow detail on this pair from Valentino—so romantic.
Some of my other favorite brands for Valentine’s Day outfit inspiration are Magda Burtym, Dolce & Gabanna, and Retrofete.

Whether you’re planning a candlelit dinner, brunch with friends, or a cozy night in, choose a Valentine’s Day outfit that makes you feel good. Remember, nothing looks better than confidence.
