Valentine’s Day is the festival of love, but also a perfect opportunity to feel elegant and confident by choosing an outfit that reflects your personality. But how to identify the right one? Here you will find some ideas for recreating memorable looks to show off on Lovers’ Day.
Understand the occasion to choose the outfit
There is no one way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. There are couples who do not want to miss out on a romantic dinner at one of their favorite restaurants, others who prefer to indulge in a long weekend getaway, and others still who prefer to stay cozy at home. Therefore, the first step in choosing your outfit for Valentine’s Day is to figure out how you will spend it.
If you are planning a dinner at a restaurant, it might be time to wear elegant and classic clothes. On the other hand, if yours is a more relaxed date, you might prefer a simpler and less demanding outfit. Whereas, if you have a special evening planned, you might also sport bolder, more glam looks.
Once you have your plans set, you can open your wardrobe and choose your favorite outfit.
Classic romantic dresses
For your romantic dinner, there is no better choice than a refined little black dress. You could opt for a quality dress such as a Dolce and Gabbana mini dress, to be embellished with a pearl necklace and chandelier earrings. For shoes, stay classic by wearing nude or black pumps with a high stiletto heel.
If you want to make this timeless outfit even more personal, you can also choose to wear an embellished jeweled clutch.
Casual yet chic outfits
If you are part of that circle of people who celebrate Valentine’s Day in a softer way, you might prefer a more relaxed but still neat and feminine outfit.
The jeans and romantic blouse combo is always a good idea. To recreate this look, all you need to do is choose your favorite pair of skinny jeans (or the cut that suits you best) to pair with a blazer and a romantic blouse. You could opt for one with bows, lace details, ruffles or an embellished collar.
For shoes, heeled ankle boots or elegant loafers might work well. Minimalist gold jewelry and a handbag, preferably a handbag, will add sophistication.
Bold and trendy styles
If you like to follow trends, then it might be helpful for you to know the current ones. In this regard, current fashion suggests sporting a bolder style on Valentine’s Day.
So, following in this wake, green light to bright colors and prints: you could wear a red dress with cut-out or porthole details on the back, or even a dress with floral or animal prints.
Bangs, sequins and ruffles are other elements that can make your look more dynamic, bright and eye-catching. Be careful, however, not to overdo it: if your dress is already very flashy, opt for understated accessories.
Final touches
Staying on the topic of accessories, these are part of the final details to pay attention to. Carefully choose the jewelry you’ll wear according to the look you’ve recreated: minimalist for a refined outfit, statement for a bolder one.
Same goes for handbags. To play it safe, you might prefer a mini bag or clutch in any case, perfect for any occasion.
Next, don’t underestimate the power of make-up and perfume. Go for a red lipstick and smokey eye, and choose floral and seductive fragrances to best express your femininity.
The perfect look for Valentine’s Day? Your own.
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate love, starting with love for yourself. Choose an outfit that makes you feel confident and reflects your personality. Give yourself the luxury of feeling beautiful!
