Valentine's Day Style Guide

Here at Connected Apparel, we love love.

Love is a four-letter word that comes in all shapes and sizes; the words we utter to close a phone call or our fingers quickly type to friends with heart-shaped emojis. Valentine's Day is an opportunity to remind your partner or your friends and family how much you love them. It's a day for chocolates, flowers and romantic Valentine's Day gifts, but it’s also a day to get all dolled up and feel your best.

Roses are red, violets are blue…whatever your Valentine’s Day plans, we have the perfect outfit for you!

Wearing anything adorned in red or flowers will definitely make you look like a Valentine's Day enthusiast. Whether that's the look you’re going for or something a little more subtle, we have Valentine’s Day outfits to fit all of your plans.

If your plans are a fancy dinner for two, don’t skimp in the outfit department! Cupid’s holiday is reason enough to get all dolled up. Put together a foolproof look that will have you feeling your very best and will have your significant other’s eyes on you all night. From shimmery sequin lace to sultry detailing, you’ll find the perfect date night dress for Valentine’s Day 2023.

Take our Diane 2.0 red floral dress for example. This valentines day red dress is a statement color that hugs all the curves thanks to the fitted silhouette and faux wrap detail. Being that the weather is likely to be chilly, add your jacket or maybe go extra lavish with (faux) fur. For a subtle yet festive approach, the Elsa is a simple back sheath dress with a metallic red rose cape. This flirty cape make this a popular figure flattering dress that can easily be paired with heels or booties.

A simple and classic Valentine’s Day date night in outfit will never go out of style means cuddling up on the couch with take out and a movie. For many, staying in with yummy food and a new movie is the ultimate romantic date. If you love staying cozy, these comfortably chic styles are perfect for your Valentines Day couch cuddles. Not everyone likes to get super dressed up so a dress for casual date at home call for something comfy. The Brenna ballon sleeve dress has a relaxed fit with ruffle details to make this R&R style look refined. For something a but more chic the Regina Jumpsuit is a split leg jumpsuit that’s easy to throw on with your with you favorite cozy homey cardigan.

For some of us, Valentine’s Day is another work day (with a little more love). And we need an outfit versatile enough to go from desk to dinner, better known as day to night dress. Take an extra bag with a change of accessories and shoes and be ready to look your best for the night. These looks are sophisticated enough for your office but elegant enough for your dinner date. Our Tonya red floral dress for instance is an office favorite. Her cowl neck, gathered waist and midi length make this dress modest yet charming enough for a night out. The Effie has a similar silhouette with a cowl neck, but instead comes with an attached jacket and a knee length. We especially love the color block magic of this dress as it gives off the appeal of a three-piece ensemble (skirt, blouse and cardigan), but is in fact one piece! And the color is very striking for a Valentine’s Day red dress.

When the loves of your life are your girlfriends and your mom, dressing to IMPRESS is the name of the game. There is nothing better than a festive Galentine’s day out where you get to bring out your new valentine’s day red dress outfits you’ve been dying to wear. For a figure flattering style that accentuates your curves, opt for a dress like our Lisa in apple red. You can easily pair Lisa with a cardigan or coat, depending on the weather and always add on sparkly jewelry. Or if you want something that’s made from sultry fabrics, our Monica dress is perfect. She’s made from lightweight velvet fabric and her attached jacket is a beautiful red floral print.
