Choosing the perfect outfit for your Valentine’s date
Movie: To elevate your typical Valentine’s Day date, strive for a monochromatic loungewear look. Be intentional with the color you select and wear it with confidence. The neutrals will make you look sophisticated. For a bonus styling tip, you can combine with a purse backpack and accessorize with multiple rings.
Art Gallery: A not-so-typical date calls for a not-so-typical outfit. A solid-color turtleneck paired with a contrasting retro vest and comfortable “mom” jeans will bring the perfect amount of academia into the art gallery. To ground the look, wear this with your favorite white high-tops. For a bonus styling tip, you can pair it with a vintage purse.
Escape Room: If you want the adrenaline of an adventurous Valentine’s Day date while looking comfortable, then a vibrant, oversized crew neck and biker shorts will do just that. For a bonus styling tip, wear white shoes with mid-rise white socks.
Pottery Class: If you’re more of a creative soul, then your clothes must show off your personality. A stapled pair of jeans (let them have their moment) paired with your favorite “grandpa” sweater is a perfect outfit for pottery class. For a bonus styling tip, wear small gold hoops and your favorite tote bag.
Hiking: If you and your special someone plan on hitting the trail, then your outfit must be both comfortable and versatile. Your favorite overalls with a breathable, cropped sweater underneath and your most comfortable pair of shoes will do. For a bonus styling tip, find the most playful bandana to make sure your hair stays in place while looking radiant.
Horseback Riding: Whether you have experience riding a horse or not, you can dress the part. Find tight, black jeans, a tight long sleeve shirt and knee-high riding boots. Top the look by making it monochromatic. For a bonus styling tip, accessorize with a casual but multi-colored belt to add personality.
Drive-in Theater: If you’re a quiet date kind of person, let your outfit do the work for you. Start with your favorite pair of “mom” jeans, a basic hoodie and an oversized neutral-colored jacket paired with your favorite white sneakers. For a bonus styling tip, wear your most comfortable beanie to complement your jacket.
Botanical Garden: If you want the fairytale dream outfit for your Valentine’s Day date, the combinations are unlimited. You can base the outfit around the cottagecore dress – whether it’s knee-length or long. For a bonus styling tip, add a sophisticated headband to your outfit along with gold jewelry.
Zoo: If you want a fun and playful date while getting your steps in, a zoo adventure is what you need. Combine your favorite neutral hoodie with a puffer vest and flowy, high-rise pants. For a bonus styling tip, wear a purse backpack that makes a statement.
Bowling: Bowling brings the perfect combination of playful and competitive spirit. Nothing screams confidence like flowy, high-waisted jeans with a crop-top and your favorite pair of sneakers. For a bonus styling tip, you can combine with a red cap and layered silver necklaces.
