Candy hearts, chocolate-covered strawberries, and pink accessories everywhere. All of this could only mean one thing… Valentine’s Day has arrived in stores!
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and my Instagram feed is filled with tons of outfit inspo for many different occasions. This article will be your go-to guide on what to wear on a fancy date, a casual dinner, or a girls’ night in for this Valentine’s Day! Whether you’re spending your first Valentine’s Day with a partner and want to dress to impress (like I am), or if you’re drinking cute cocktails with your single gals, I have outfit inspo for every Valentine’s Day possibility!
Keeping it classy:
You don’t need a super fancy outfit or a glitter frilly dress if you’re wanting to spice things up this Valentine’s Day. Stick to the classics! Subtle implements of red and pink will be the perfect way to make things a little special.
90s High Rise Abercrombie Jeans: These jeans are offered in a variety of different washes, sizes ranging from 23-37, and make for the perfect pair of classic blue jeans. You can wear this with a pink heart sweater, or a fancier going-out top depending on your plans!
Black Skirt: Every girl needs a black mini-skirt. This is perfect with so many different tops, like a cute red sweater or a leather jacket with a pink top. You can always add some layers by adding tights underneath as well- so many pairs of tights have patterns like hearts or lace!
Red Long Sleeve: This would look amazing paired with jeans and boots or with a black or white skirt and heels!
Seamless Bodysuit: This bodysuit comes in two different shades of pink, making it the perfect addition to a Valentine’s Day-themed outfit. Pair this with blue jeans and sneakers for a casual but cute look!
Sweater Vest: This vest is super versatile. It can be worn with something underneath or just left as a top. This vest would look super good paired with trouser-style pants, or jeans!
Sticking with the trends:
Aspects of leather, a red lip, and mixing textures, create an almost “mob wifey” type of outfit. Trendy outfits can be adjusted to fit any sort of event that you’re going to or dates that you have planned for the upcoming holiday.
White top: With leather pants, this could be a fun, trendy look for Valentine’s Day.
Lace tank top: This tank is giving 2000s Barbie. If you’re into the low-rise jeans trend, this top is perfect for you AND has elements of pink!
Long Sleeve Silk Top: This top is stunning and feels so light on the skin. It would pair perfectly in a coquette-inspired look, which, of course, needs hair bows to accessorize.
Two Piece Set: Talk about LOVE! This set is perfect for a going-out Valentine’s Day look. Whether that be with a significant other or with your girls, this look would pair well with kitten heels or a chunky pair of boots!
Dressing up:
One thing about me – I LOVE dressing up and will take any opportunity to put on a dress and heels and spend hours getting ready. Honestly, getting ready is one of the best parts of going out. These options will be perfect for a five-star restaurant, or anywhere that you feel just needs a little something extra.
Ruffle Dress: This dress is super cute and trendy, available in both pink and red!
Linen Long Dress: Searching for a longer dress option? This one is light and breathable and comes in a variety of Valentine’s Day-themed colors and prints.
Bow Dress: Subtle Valentine’s vibe meets coquette. This dress is the perfect mix of dainty and sweet, but also fun and trendy!
Square Neck Dress: This dress is beautiful and perfect for a dinner date. You can dress it up or dress it down depending on what you’re doing.
Midi Dress: This hot pink number is an amazing option for going out!
Girls’ night in:
I have spent many Valentine’s Days with my girlfriends, sipping on cute drinks filled with edible glitter, making appetizers for dinner, and watching movies. Whether you’re looking for something a little more on the casual side or some cute silky pajamas, this list will definitely help you!
Pink Striped Set: This shorts and top set from Target fits very well with the Galentine’s theme.

Skims Dupe: This super soft set is a skims dupe! It’s blowing up all over social media, and you can wear it for so many different occasions beyond V-day!
Affordable and quick:
Amazon is a go-to for me when it comes to searching for going-out tops, or if I’m in a time crunch for an outfit. Have a last-minute date? All of these options will be available to ensure a fast arrival and to make sure you’re looking up to par!
Long-Sleeve Baby Pink Top: Casual and cute (and would pair well with bows).
