Valentine’s Day Looks You’ll Want to Wear All Year Round
by Emma MiddlestadtSure, Valentine’s Day is a pointless Hallmark holiday that we don’t need to celebrate… but we do still need something great to wear. So whether you have a hot date scheduled or you’re boycotting the roses and rom-coms this year, we’ve rounded up some outfits that’ll feel just right on February 14—and for many a non-romantic occasion after that.
Click through for five outfits devoid of any “one-time wear” guilt, because these timeless pieces can be worn to work, to next week’s lunch date, to a mid-day coffee sesh, and more.
1/16
Galentine’s Day Brunch
Sweater 2499
($58, Oak and Fort)
Whether your crew is single and ready to mingle, or simply opting for a friends-only celebration, we’ve got just the look for you. A simple sweater tucked into classic trousers along with an eye-catching bag will have you feeling sweet on Valentine’s Day and every other day of the year.
4/16
Low-Key Drinks
Graphic Tee
($164, Comme des Garcons)
Whether you’re hitting up a jazz bar with a person of interest or meeting up with girlfriends for a round of cocktails, Comme des Garcons’ heart logo tee adds a playful touch that needs no special occasion to justify it.
5/16
Low-Key Drinks
Pintuck Flare Faux Leather Trousers
($245, David Lerner)
7/16
Romantic Dinner
Bianca Dress
($140, Wilfred Free)
A sweater dress with thigh-high boots is an easy recipe for a great dinner look—regardless of whether it’s a romantic date on February 14 or a fun Friday night dinner any week of the year. For a pointed nod to V Day, feel free to throw on an on-theme piece like Tiffany & Co’s heart-shaped crossbody bag.
9/16
Romantic Dinner
Minaudière Crossbody Bag
($3750, Tiffany & Co.)
10/16
Fitness Class
Thermal Crop 01
($20, TNA)
There’s more than one way to get your heart rate up on Valentine’s Day. If a fitness class is more your scene, put together a cute outfit with some on-trend athleisure. Like cool sneakers from Naked Wolfe, a long-sleeve crop top and staple Adidas sweatpants. You get a bit of Valentine’s flair with a splash of red, but won’t hesitate wearing this ensemble again to next week’s spin class.
12/16
Fitness Class
Track White
($332, Naked Wolfe)
13/16
Casual Coffee
Stretch Poplin Shirt
($96, 1901)
If a coffee date’s more your speed this year, go for a classic look: a white blouse with your favourite jeans and a great ankle boot. Round off the look with a cozy faux fur jacket that, in a bright shade of red, may nod to all things love on V Day, but is guaranteed to turn heads the rest of the year too.
