There’s only one day in the year where the prices of flowers skyrocket, restaurants are swarmed with lovey-dovey couples and a sudden myriad of heart emojis flood our social media accounts. We’re talking about Valentine’s Day, of course. For those who are heading out with your loved one, there’s no better way to show your affection than to wear your heart on your sleeve, literally.
Here are 14 lovely pieces that are on point for your Valentine’s date. No date? Well, who needs a man when you can gift yourself a token of appreciation and affection?
Apparel:
Heading to the theatres with your beau? Keep yourself snug while showing your affection for him with this cosy cardigan. Wear this with a t-shirt and a pair of denim jeans.
Flaunt your bold sense of style with this chiffon maxi wrap dress that sports multiple giant hearts and feminine ruffles. It’s translucent and airy fabric is oh-so-sexy. Wear it with a pair of orange satin heels to accentuate your look.
Instead of the obvious shade of red, get a piece that is a tad more edgy, like this black blouse from Zara with white heart motifs. Wear it with a leather mini skirt and a pair of black booties for a rocker vibe.
It doesn’t get any more obvious than this. Express your dedication for your lover with this classy striped t-shirt that sports a “Love” slogan. Tuck it into a bouffant maxi tulle skirt for an interesting whimsical flair.
Go for a girlish sleeveless top to keep yourself cool. Dress this charming piece with a pair of white flared pants and some strappy sandals for a casual approach.
For a sultry vibe, dress yourself in anything that’s made of silk — the slinky fabric gives you a touch of mystery. This printed skirt from Réalisation is sexy, yet does not reveal too much skin. Wear it with your man’s cotton shirt to show a cool contrast between the two fabrics.
Impress your partner with a slinky top that sports an array of heart motifs and a sexy plunging neckline. Go all out by wearing it with a skirt in matching print, or tone it down by wearing a pair of denim skinnies and booties.
