Free People Outfits for Valentines Day

Love can look an infinite number of ways– we’re dressing you for a few.

Our favorite thing about Valentine’s Day? It’s truly an ultimate pick-your-own-adventure kind of day. Whether you’re staying in, grabbing brunch with your friends or heading out for date night, it’s the perfect day (and night) to wear a new outfit. Read on to see our Valentine’s Day outfit picks and how we’re wearing them.

FIVE OUTFIT IDEAS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY

OUR FAVORITE GALS’ NIGHT LOOK

A day of endless laughter, some glasses of wine and your closest girlfriends? Sign us UP. To build my Galentine’s Day outfit, I’m reaching for a soft going out top with subtle feminine details for a sweet finish. I love that you can wear it with denim for something lowkey like a brunch, or with a half slip and statement jewels (for date night later on).

OUR FAVORITE “SELF-LOVE” LOOK

My favorite kind of Saturdays start in my apartment–slow, with tunes playing while I clean up all the messes I’ve accumulated through the week. Who knows where the day will take me, but as long as I’m taking care of my needs first, I know the rest will fall together! Bopping around in a comfy set makes the mundane chores feel so much more fun. Plus, if I have to run out for a quick coffee or errand, I love that I can throw on a trench and tonal sneakers to make this a sporty look. A comfy set, i.e. the best kind of self-care, makes for the perfect casual Valentine’s Day outfit.

OUR FAVORITE “LOVE IN A NEW LAND” LOOK

Traveling for the long weekend? If you’re planning a romantic warm weather vacay or a nearby staycation, a slip needs to make your packing list. It’s the perfect wear now/wear later piece as you can layer it up with a cardigan now or with a cami for warmer days. I love that you can also layer this slip over denim for a trendy take on slip outfitting.

OUR FAVORITE QUINTESSENTIAL V-DAY LOOK

If you’re celebrating your first or fifteenth Valentine’s Day, my no-fail Valentine’s Day date night outfit suggestion is always a dress and your favorite strappy heels. If it’s still a little chilly where you are, I love that you can throw on a sweater and tall boots to still achieve a dressy yet practical dinner date look.

OUR FAVORITE “LOVE INDOORS” LOOK

Cancel all plans–we’re staying in and catching up on our Netflix queue. Because the idea of heading out is the last thing on your list. For the coziest of Valentine’s Day plans, I’m opting for oh so cozy shorts and a matching pullover, perfect for endless lounging and snacking and loving.
