Trendsetter Tuesday: Valentine’s Date Night

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

With Valentine’s Day just a week away, it’s time to start thinking up the ~perfect~ outfit to wear for your V-Day plans. Whether you’re spending the evening with your significant other or kicking back with chocolate, rosé, and a group of your closest friends, Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to get a little dressed up and celebrate with the people we love.

While jeans and a sweater might be the perfect ensemble for a casual night in, a more formal date calls for an upgrade to your usual outfit rotation. This week’s trendsetter is sporting the perfect outfit for a night out with a special someone. Sophomore HCFU member Shae Cronin shared her go-to date night look with us, featuring a dress and jacket combo, heeled booties and simple gold jewelry. Her look perfectly combined trendy separates into an outfit that’s ideal for a night out on the town.

Velvet is super in right now and Shae featured it by way of a slip dress from Brandy Melville, layered under a jacket with silver button and zipper detailing from Anthropologie. Her jacket is definitely a stand-out piece and the perfect way to stay warm in the still-chilly temperatures. Gold coin jewelry is an of-the-moment favorite of our favorite bloggers and influencers, and Shae’s combo of two coin necklaces of different lengths are a perfect addition to contrast against her black dress. Black Urban Outfitters booties are the final touch to Shae’s look and a comfy-yet-cute alternative to heels. We can’t wait to see the looks you put together to celebrate the day of love!

 

Happy Valentine’s Day, collegiettes!
