All dressed up and nowhere to go? Some ideas of what you can do and where you can go on Valentine’s evening with your significant other!
valentine’s date night
For this Valentine’s Day, I recommend selecting a few classic fashion investments that you can wear for a romantic evening on Valentine’s Day, but re-wear on a million other occasions with other items already in your closet.
Maybe you already have an outfit in mind and have had your eyes set on a luxury handbag or pair of shoes. Valentine’s Day may be the perfect time to gift yourself a bit of luxury that you can enjoy for a Valentine’s Day dinner or special night on the town.
Items like this Gucci Marmont or Loubutin boots inject a bit of color into your wardrobe, but still in a classic way. The Fendi strap is a unique, but versatile, investment that you can use with any of your handbags, and will instantly add a designer touch.
This is the outfit that I will be wearing this Valentine’s Day. Magda Butrym is such an amazing designer who incorporates feminine and elegant details into her pieces, and I think any of her blouses and dresses would make an instantly sexy but classy outfit.
Because I’m a massive fan of pink, I had to put together a pink inspired outfit with a dress by one of my favorite brands, LoveShackFancy.
These accessories are classics and very versatile in blush and nude. Because Monolos are such an investment, I would recommend a neutral shade like this so they will go with everything. This tulle hot pink dress would also look killer with a black leather jacket thrown over your shoulders and some ankle boots.
A classic outfit with a touch of trendy. This Iro embroidered white dress is elegant and feminine, but looks instantly edgy when paired with this amazing Balenciaga belt bag. I found these Oscar De La Renta Earrings on clearance and these Manolo-inspired heels are surprisingly affordable.
I‘ve had a Retrofete dress on my wishlist for quite some time. And while the brand offers this dress in an array of colors, (and I love the teal color-way), I think the white one is sophisticated without trying too hard. And with an all white ensemble, you can add in some color with your accessories.
I’m also including a few fun, feminine blouses that make easy outfits and will look great with tailored trousers, distressed denim, or even a mini skirt.
And if you’re focused on getting the most value out of what you buy, I recommend an amazing blouse over an overly sexy dress. It is more day-to-night appropriate and will likely work with more in your wardrobe.
I hope these looks give you some inspiration for Valentine’s Day and date night. While I never condone buying an expensive outfit for one specific occasion, I’m all about investing in high quality pieces that you can enjoy time after time and wear on those special occasions.
