Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

It’s February 3rd, which means we’re just nine days away from Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re planning to spice things up with a longtime partner, linking up with your girlfriends for a fun and flirty Galentine’s Day, or spending the day showing yourself a little extra love—intentional outfit planning is key.

Additionally, Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to romanticize your wardrobe—especially after a post-holiday slump. Even if you don’t have a hot date, treat yourself. That may look like slipping into love-themed pajamas just to simply watch a movie, cook yourself a nice meal, and maybe even document how cute you look doing it.

And if this is your partner’s time to shine with something extra special planned, lean into the moment. Think lace-trimmed details, rich burgundy monochrome looks, or a touch of shimmer and shine. While Valentine’s Day may feel like a Hallmark holiday, what’s wrong with one extra day dedicated to showing love, whether it’s for someone else or yourself?

Scroll ahead to shop the best Valentine’s Day fashion picks, whether you’re dreading the day or counting down with excitement.
