Whether it’s a holiday you hold close to your heart or you think it’s another money making scheme, there’s no denying that V-day is the perfect excuse to put on your cutest outfit and hit the town. Be it romantic or platonic, here are what to wear outfit ideas for every kind of date.
The Dinner Date
For the ultimate I-woke-up-like-this look, literally toss on a sexy slip and head to your dinner date. Might we suggest messy curls and a deep red lipstick?
Warning: This number is sure to spark some PDA.

The Galentine’s Date
The Staycation Date
I mean… Valentine’s is on a week night. Who has the energy go out? Put on your prettiest underthings and get comfy! Hello romantic evening at home. Who says you have to go out to make this day special? If you and you partner are staying indoors then grab a quick and easy dinner and a romantic movie to watch.
The Movie Date
The Best Friend Date
Single and fabulous, invite your bestie over for some serious binge eating. Comfort is key!
The Cultured Date
If the traditional dinner date is too basic for you, and you and your significant other are going to check out a play or some exhibit, your outfit has to match! Do a little more than you usually would. Go for textures and anything that would get you noticed.
The Work Out Date
The couple that sweats together stays together – apparently. Instead of bonding over exceeding your calorie target, burn some calories with your partner! Put a little bit more effort into your sportswear than usual to make sure you can snag at least one photo op.
Red Hot
And lastly, this one is for all those who are afraid of wearing red on Valentine’s Day. You don’t necessarily need to steer clear of the colour of love. Red does not equal cheesy – that’s if you do it right. Use bold accessories to lift your outfit to the next level. Think colour blocking. Think monochromatic.
