What to Wear this Valentine’s (or Galentine’s) Day
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be complicated.
Rather than jostling for an (overpriced) dinner set with the crowds, we like to keep it simple with a quiet night in. We’ll most likely head out to grab a coffee during the day and take a stroll for some me-time before heading home to cook up one of our favourite comfort dishes. I still like adding a little oomph to my outfit for a daytime look, not necessarily revealing, just something that makes me feel feminine and extra fabulous in my skin.
Whether celebrating love with a significant other or cherishing friendships with your favourite girls, choosing what to wear can set the tone for the special day. And yes, you can feel sexy while still being classy. I’ve rounded up some of my favourite pieces this season that capture the essence of the occasion without compromising on comfort or modesty.
1 | Pink Shoulder Bag: I love that the woven leather strips add structure to the bag while the delicate shade of pink keeps it feminine without feeling fussy. There’s ample space inside for all the essentials, too.
2 | Velvet Hair Bow: Statement accessories easily take an outfit from day to night, and the deep plum shade adds a luxurious touch. Just clip it on, and you’re good to go.
3 | Embellished Flats: Mary Janes are still on trend, and these crystal mesh flats give off a cool girl vibe without looking like you’re trying too hard.
4 | Heart Ring: Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and it’s sweeter when you treat yourself to one. Bonus points for the dainty pinky ring and textured gold band.
5 | Quilted Cardholder: I am devoted to cardholders over wallets because of their compact size. Crafted from lambskin and calf leather, this essential features radial quilting and a bejewelled heart for glamour.
6 | Shimmery Bra and Underwear: What is Valentine’s Day without nice lingerie? These are shimmery and wireless, making you feel extra special inside too.
7 | Musk Fragrance: With light notes of musk and flowers, this feels beautifully soft, like you’re being embraced, and is one of my favourite fragrances on daily rotation.
8 | Lounge Dress: The jersey fabric is silky to the touch and hugs you in all the right places down to your ankles. A classic minimal piece for the wardrobe.
9 | Lace Slip Dress: A classy little black dress can’t go wrong. This is 100% silk, with spaghetti straps and eyelash lace trims for a floaty silhouette that won’t go out of style.
10 | Satin Pyjamas: Call me basic, but I prefer a good old pyjama set to a nightie. Quality satin feels great against the skin and elevates any stay-in look.
11 | Black Shoulder Bag: If pink is not your thing, a sleek black bag with minimal hardware always does the trick.
12 | Tennis Bracelet: Special occasions call for special accessories, like a classic tennis bracelet that highlights the wrist and adds a touch of elegance to any outfit.
13 | Eyeshadow Palette: The limited-edition quad with various finishes is true eye candy, perfect for date nights. The oil-enriched formula glides on effortlessly and is buildable for all-day wear.
14 | Sleek Sneakers: Nothing feels better than being comfortable in your skin. Low-top trainers go with most outfits, and the subtle, neutral shade keeps it looking polished.
15 | Lipgloss: Care for a pout? Infused with cherry oil and hyaluronic acid, this lip plumper smoothes lips with a mirror-like shine for maximum volume and is available in delectable shades.
16 | Nail Polish: A fresh manicure does wonders for my confidence; the finishing touch makes me feel put together. Consider a pale nude shade that doesn’t stick out and adds a sparkly touch to your fingertips.
