Feb. 14 comes with a lot of stressors—making plans with friends, waiting to see if the guy you’ve seen a few times is going to lock down your night—but your Valentine’s Day outfit shouldn’t be one of them.
It definitely is no ordinary day, and you probably want to take a step up from your average Saturday night go-tos—even if you’re just having a movie night with your friends. Another question is: How do I look festive without looking cheesy at the same time?
With touches of pink and red and a tasteful heart here and there, we’ve styled outfits for every possible Valentine’s Day scenario, from a movie night with your friends to a nerve-racking date with someone new (good luck!). Spend time stressing about how much chocolate you’re going to eat, not scrambling to find a last-minute look.
1. For your Galentine’s wine night
Perhaps the most coveted of the Valentine’s plans, a night with your friends and a bottle (or 10) of wine calls for something cozy and chic—a step up from the ordinary sweatshirt and leggings. Bonus: A festive heart sock moment to show your attention to detail.

2. For your Galentine’s out on the town
If you’re heading out for dinner or drinks with your friends, a simple, sexy outfit is your best bet. A subtle, off-the shoulder shirt and leather trousers look romantic and festive, without having to be adorned in pink or other red.

3. For a casual date night
When your date is casual enough for jeans, it’s a cause for celebration. A classic, sophisticated blouse with pearl details and heart earrings feels festive, but not too casual.

4. To go on a date with a new person
If you’ve got the first-date jitters on Valentine’s Day, godspeed to you—cut your losses (and eliminate nerves) by giving yourself the gift of throwing on a foolproof, one-and-done blazer dress, black booties, and fun accessories, and treat yourself to a pour of red before you head out the door.

5. For a romantic date night
A fancy date on Valentine’s Day deserves to be treated as an occasion, and a satin wrap dress in a romantic, pink hue fits the bill. Add nude heels and festive accessories to make it even more special.

6. Take a date with you
If you’re your date for the night, it doesn’t mean you should succumb to jeans and a tee—you should feel just as good (or honestly better) as if you were on a date with anyone else. Impress yourself with something you wouldn’t wear any old day and have yourself the best date you can remember.

7. Enjoy a night in alone
No matter how much time you spend binging, it is likely that your night will be spent alone. Euphoria or with your vibrator, you deserve to feel a little festive, and nothing will do that more than a cozy matching set that can become one with you and your couch.
