Valentine’s Day Outfit Inspiration for Your Next Date

Valentine’s day is right around the corner and it’s time to start planning what outfits you’ll be sporting for all your date ideas and Galentine’s get-togethers. I’ve compiled some of my favorite pink & red outfits that are perfect for your special dates!

There’s a whole range of outfits to browse, from classic to bold and even practical for the weather. I’m sure you’ll love this look book full of outfit inspiration for your Galentine’s Day!

Beginning with a bold floral, this Wild Fable jumpsuit is to die for. I fell in love with the soft material and who could say no to pockets as deep as those?

I did have the V-neck hemmed to my liking as I am not as busty as the figure makes up for, however, there were no issues with having to trim excess fabric. It was very simple to fold and add a simple stitch to keep the top from falling open.

This jumpsuit is perfect for running errands, a day out on the town, or even a picnic in the park!

While some of us will be busy around the office, it’s no reason not to dress for the season!

Mix and match classic patterns with bold colors for fashion-forward business attire. A long pencil skirt can be paired with almost any top for different looks, and once you add a jacket it’s game time!

I kept this look simple with a pastel pink sweater that tucks into the skirt to accentuate my figure before pairing it with the complimentary jacket.

This outfit is perfect for a brunch date with friends or for if you’ll be rushing to your date the moment you get out of the office.

If you didn’t know already, this is actually the second annual Valentine’s Look Book created by the Untamed Optimist.

Each year the outfits featured are unique from the previous, so be sure to head over to the 2021 Look Book for even more outfit inspiration!

Now for something practical for all our cold weathered friends…

February isn’t ideal for most of us to have a sunny day out on the town, but we don’t have to let the weather spoil our plans. This outfit is perfect for cool weather despite having barren legs. Why?

Well, the sweater tucked into the romper dress creates an insulating layer against your body to keep you warm. Next, we add this color-blocked cardigan from Francesca’s, and voila, it’s even cozier!

You could also pair this outfit with a pair of leggings or tights underneath, especially if you are going on a night excursion and plan on the weather getting cooler. This outfit is versatile other than that it is a dress and you may want to wear shorts underneath or be considerate of what activities you may have planned before picking this one out.

Speaking of leggings… this outfit delicately balances bold design and comfort for the coziest of vibes. Pair it with some simple silver jewelry for a chic look.


As someone with not a lot of pinks and florals in her wardrobe, I sure do love creating these Valentine’s Day Look Books for you! This long-sleeve thin sweater pairs well with some bold slip-on shoes for a simple yet elegant Valentine’s look that anyone can rock!

As always, be sure to share your ideas and keep the conversation going in the comments letting us know if you were inspired by any of these new looks!

To me, they keep the bees going until our gardens fill out. I don’t mind seeing breaks in greenery if it means having speckles of color spotted throughout. Pick your battles, but I don’t mind having them around if that’s all the harm they do.
