This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bucknell chapter.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, which means it’s time to start figuring out your plans and more importantly deciding what to wear. Every collegiette knows how hard it can be to find the perfect outfit for any occasion, so a little inspiration can never hurt. From date night to a night in with your BFFs, HC Bucknell has you covered!

Scenario 1: Date Night with Your S.O.

You can never go wrong with a classic LBD! This dress from Lulu’s ($55) is the perfect outfit for a Valentine’s date. Add some color with red or pink accessories, and you’ll look festive and cute!

Scenario 2: Galentine’s Day

 

A basic chambray top like this one from J.Crew ($78) keeps you looking put together but casual at the same time. Pair this with black jeans, flats, and a red or pink vest or necklace for the perfect Galentine’s look!

 

Scenario 3: Casual Date

Whether or not this is your first time going on a date with this person, you still aren’t official yet. Because of this, you want to look good, but not look like you’re trying too hard. This red striped shift dress from Gap ($69.95) is the perfect choice, and it keeps you in the spirit of Valentine’s Day! Keep it simple with accessories for this dress by pairing it with boots or flats, a small clutch, and a simple necklace. You will definitely leave your date wanting to see you again!

Scenario 4: Valentine’s Day Party

If you’re going out to a party for Valentine’s Day, a basic red tank with lace detail like this one from Urban Outfitters ($39) is the way to go. It keeps it simple, while at the same time having a bit of a more dressed up feel because of the lace accents. Pair this with your favorite black jeans and black booties, and you’re good to go!

 

Scenario 5: Night In

 

Night in watching Netflix? Not much is better than being curled up in bed binge watching your favorite show or Valentine’s Day movie! The perfect comfy outfit for your chill night is a pink oversized sweater, like this one from Urban Outfitters ($49). Pair this with your comfiest pair of leggings and your favorite slippers, and you’re all set for a night of comfort and relaxation!
