We found the best Valentine's Day outfit ideas - no matter what your plans are
From dinner dates to drinks with the girls
Struggling to find the perfect Valentine's Day outfit? Whether you are celebrating by going out for a fancy dinner with your partner, having a fun night out with your friends, taking yourself on a nice walk to visit your favourite coffee shop or indulging in a cosy night in, we've got lots of Valentine's Day outfit options to inspire you.
There is no better time to treat yourself to some colourful wardrobe additions. Pastel pink hues and a bit of sparkle never go amiss on the most romantic day of the year. Recently, we've also loved the sophisticated combination of deep grey and on-trend red - not to mention statement accessories like heart-shaped bags and Mary Jane flats which really elevate a Valentine's Day outfit.
When it comes to makeup, grab your best red lipstick to finish off your look. Add a spritz of your chosen perfume (we are forever obsessed with Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjain - on Valentine's Day and beyond) and a generous helping of hairspray and you are ready to step out the door feeling your best.
Here at Marie Claire, we are all about spreading the love. That's why we've also rounded up the best Valentine's Day gifts for her, the best Valentine's gifts for your boyfriend and the best Galentine's Day gifts to spoil the special people in your life, the best jewellery gifts and even the luxury gifts on our editors' wish lists.
Without further ado, browse our selection of Valentine's Day outfits below. We've chosen a look to suit every Valentine's occasion, no matter what you plan is for the day.
