V-Day Fashion Ideas

6 Valentine's Day fashion ideas

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. – With less than a week until Valentine’s Day, it might be time to throw together your ensemble for the day of love.

I pieced together six Valentine’s Day looks that will wow your Valentine, even if it’s just a friend. These outfit types will also work for different Valentine’s venues.

The casual outfit :

You might not make it out of the house for Valentine’s Day.

If you plan to stay in and watch Netflix with bae or prepare a home-cooked meal together, try something casual and comfortable like a sweater dress.

It also works well for coffee dates.

Match my look: Cozy up in a sweater dress, scarf, dangle earrings and ankle boots. No sweater dresses in your closet? Put on your most flattering sweater with skinny jeans, a pendant necklace and big earrings.

The romantic outfit : 

If you’re Valentine’s Day plans involve a watching the sunset or stargazing, I would opt for something that says romance.

There is no outfit more romantic than one with ruffles and a raised hem.

Match my look: Pull out a maxi dress or skirt with a side slit. Don’t have one? Pull out a maxi skirt or dress and tie a knot in it one side to create a raised hem.

Finish the look with a lace bralette peaking out, ankle boots and all the jewelry you can hold.

The dressy outfit :

When Valentine’s Day means a fancy restaurant that may or may not light candles or a theater performance, it’s time to dress up.

You can’t go wrong with a little black dress and a pop of color.

Match my look: Throw on your most flattering black dress. Don’t own the classic LBD? Pull out a black blouse and black pencil skirt.

Complete the ensemble with a pink or red scarf and patterned or brightly-colored shoes. It will look like significant effort without the stress.

The bombshell outfit :

If you want to turn heads on your first date with someone, or your hundredth, you need a sexy outfit.

Wearing lace and strappy shoes will send the message you’re interested.

Match my look: Slip into a red, pink or black lace dress and pair it with lace-up heels or flats. Not going to happen? Try a lace-trimmed camisole with a cardigan, pencil skirt and ballet flats. Just make sure to take off the cardigan once you land for the night.

The rocker outfit :

Maybe you’re headed to a concert, movie theater or trendy bar for Valentine’s Day. No problem.

A stop-sign red and a bit of leather will do the trick.

Match my look: Slip on a red blouse, preferably a tank top, and faux leather leggings. Don’t have it? Wear a pink blouse with traditional black leggings or skinny jeans and a leather jacket.

The chameleon outfit :

Your look doesn’t have to say just one thing.

Try an outfit that is romantic, sexy, and a little rock ‘n’ roll. How? Use velvet.

Match the look: Pair a velvet dress or top with a leather jacket, statement belt, choker or stiletto boots. The results will get you into any Valentine’s venue.
