Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and it’s difficult for a collegiette to find time to plan outfits for that special day in the midst of midterms and other college stress. But don’t worry; here are the three essential outfits for every type of Valentine’s date.

 

The Low-Key Date

    

Maybe you and your significant other don’t have plans to go out to some fancy dinner this year and have decided to just keep things chill. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t keep it cute. Pair these super comfortable skinny jeans from express with this super cute top from Nastygal and you’re ready to go.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

 

                                               

The Semi-Formal Date

For those of you heading out for a more formal Valentine’s day, this top from Nastygal paired with a simple black skirt and tights or a pair of jeans and heels is a simple but feminine choice.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

The Formal Date

No matter if you’ve been with your significant other for a couple of months or a couple of years, going out to a romantic restaurant and getting dressed up is one of the many things that make Valentine’s day great. And you can never go wrong with a little black dress. This one from Lulu’s is understated but still super cute for your date.
