6 Valentine's Day Date Ideas and the Outfits to Match

6 Valentine's Day Date Ideas and the Outfits to Match

Even if you hate Valentine's day, these outfits are cute.
Valentine's Day is stressful enough, so your outfit should be a no-brainer: wear what makes you feel best. With date nights ranging from all-night dancing to romantic bar crawls, dress the part with six outfits to love, ahead.

The Comedy Club
Nothing is sexier than having a laugh, so a comedy session is an ideal date with your S.O. And maybe it's just me, but I have an irrational fear of getting heckled by an on-stage comedian, so I tend to cower in the shadows and chuckle quietly to myself. If you have the same fear of being called out, opt for a basic look modified with sneaky-chic accessories like this fur-trimmed tote by Vasic, a rising accessories label.

A Romantic Hike
Tell your date to take a hike... with you on Valentine's Day (sorry). Try printed high-waisted leggings and a sports bra for a functional but stylish look— i.e. not athleisure.
