Valentine’s Day is next week! I don’t even have plans. Patryk and I usually just stay in with takeout, or I cook something! Last year, we were painting our bathroom, so I just cooked some steak and we opened a nice bottle of wine. So my outfit was fresh and clean PJs, with sopping wet hair as a bonus, for our dinner date 🥰 Part of my frustration with Valentine’s Day outfit inspo I find online is that they’re always slinky, short, or flowy dresses, and/or heels! I’m in Chicago. I can’t be wearing open-toe stilettos and a short dress!
If you’re doing something more fun than I am, or maybe you just want to look cute for staying in (because who needs a reason to look cute?!), here are some outfit ideas. In this roundup, I’m keeping people who live in cold areas in mind. While I don’t mind being a bit cold, some February days are sub-zero. I will be wearing a coat and covering my feet, thank you very much.
You don’t need to wear the exact clothes linked, these are just items that may help you figure out what to wear!
Dresses!
Specifically sweater dresses. Warm, cozy, and still sexy no matter how short or long! I know not all sweater dresses are flattering and hug your curves the right way, so I have a couple ideas here – body-con and a little relaxed. Paired with knee-high (or thigh high!) boots, not only will you be warm, you’ll look hot!

For those who prefer not to wear dresses (me most days), here are some options for you. While most Valentine’s Day outfit inspo include a lot of pinks and reds, my personal style is leather pants for looking dressy while still being in, well… pants. Also got some denim options! My favorite part I got really excited about in this post are these booties. I want every single one of them, Valentine’s Day or not.

What are your Valentine’s Day plans? I asked Patryk for one thing this year, and I usually don’t. I don’t want overpriced flowers – I just want one really good croissant😁
