Style Inspiration: Valentine's Day
The perfect Valentine's Day outfit is already hanging in your wardrobe!
If you're not a diehard romantic, Valentine's Day can feel cloyingly sweet and overdone. The clichéd red roses, pink hearts and mass-produced teddy bear holding an "I love you" balloon is enough to make eyes roll.
But Valentine's Day can still be a fun day to celebrate and a good excuse to wear a pretty outfit! While an all-pink outfit might be undeniably cute, breaking free from the conventional colour palette offers a much more creative approach to Valentine's Day style.
A Valentine's Day outfit doesn't have to be an over the top all-red ensemble; there are alternative styling options that can add a touch of romance and playfulness to any outfit.
So whether its a fancy dinner date, celebrations with friends, or a movie night at home, there is a Valentine's Day outfit to match—already hanging in your wardrobe!

What to Wear on Valentine's Day
This is what to wear on February 14 and how to style your existing wardrobe to be more Valentine's Day friendly. These subtle touches can turn any outfit into a more appropriate look without having to buy clothes in colours you won't wear any other time of the year.
Romantic Style
Turn any outfit into a Valentine's Day appropriate look by incorporating subtle romantic touches. Whether it's a statement jumper, heart necklace, or ribbon bows, this is an easy way to embrace the traditions of the holiday.
Soft Hues
If the traditional colour palette of Valentine's Day is too bold, opt for softer, more delicate hues instead. Pale lavender, muted coral, and delicate rose are much more wearable yet still match the romance of the day.
Metal Accents
Transform an otherwise basic outfit into a more polished Valentine's Day look by incorporating gold and silver jewellery, such as statement earrings, pendant necklaces, and stacking rings. A metallic clutch or heels are another great option.
Floral Charms
Florals aren't just for spring—they're for Valentine's Day too! A floral dress, embroidered shirt, or flower jewellery will added a romantic and feminine touch to your outfit while still being wearable all year round.
Playful Prints
Heart prints, polka dots, stripes, gingham, and lace all capture the essence of Valentine's Day without relying on the traditional colour palette. When paired with a neutral outfit, they can add a whimsical touch that strikes the perfect balance between tradition and style.
