Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve already gone through the mental debate: What am I going to wear? Whether you’ve got a romantic dinner on the agenda, a low-key coffee date, or you’re spending the evening in your coziest socks with a glass of wine (no judgment—it’s self-love season too), figuring out the right outfit can feel like a whole event in itself.

And let’s not forget the added pressure. It’s February, which means we’re all just trying to survive the cold without looking like we wandered out of a snowstorm. But here’s the good news: You don’t have to sacrifice warmth for style, or romantic vibes for practicality. With the right pieces, you can look effortlessly chic while still staying true to your Valentine’s vibe.

This year, I’m sharing 5 Valentine’s Day outfits I’m loving that will work for just about any plan you’ve got. Each look is a mix of cozy, romantic, and completely wearable—because we’re not freezing for fashion, and we’re definitely not overthinking date night. (Pro tip: If you’re still struggling with your wardrobe, my Romantic Style Outfit Guide is packed with even more outfit ideas to help you nail the look, no matter the occasion.)
