The Most Stylish Red & Pink Pieces to Wear for Your Valentine
Is there any holiday on the calendar more divisive than Valentine's Day? Some even go so far as to call it 'Singles Awareness Day' in protest. However, we happen to believe that whether you're coupled or not, February 14th is a day to celebrate a love of every kind. Mothers and children, boyfriends, girlfriends, best friends and even your pets—everyone should feel good about getting into the spirit on Valentine's Day.
So whether or not you've been shot by cupid's arrow, take this opportunity to break out of your "all black everything" winter routine and infuse your wardrobe with a healthy dose of color. Most especially? Red and pink, of course! You can go head-to-toe bold by wearing both at once, or sprinkle just a dash of rose, blush, wine or cherry into your Valentine's Day outfit.
Ahead, we selected a whole host of Valentine's Day-worthy pieces in all different shades of pink and red, sure to get your beloved's heart racing. (Or just make you feel happy!)
A Red Sweater That's Pretty and Feminine
Since Valentine's Day is on a Tuesday this year, we're betting you'll probably have to put in some hours at the office. Dress festively without compromising on polish with this J. Crew sweater with side-tie details.
A Blush Lace Top To Wear With Jeans
This pretty, affordable top from Zara is the perfect thing to wear for a casual date night on Valentine's Day. Pair it with cropped jeans and-and your favorite classic pumps, then layer a faux fur coat over that.
A Wine-Colored Purse for Date Night
No matter what kind of date night you have in store on Valentine's Day (La La Land, the ticket for one?) a sleek little crossbody bag in on-trend velvet is perfect for storing your essentials and keeping you hands-free... For dancing, perhaps?
A Swingy Dress For Drinks & Dancing
If your date night plans include hitting the dancefloor, dress for the occasion. We love the pretty shoulder ties soft color and on-trend midi length of this dress from Aritzia.
A Rose Gold Phone Case
Want to feel the love all year long? A rose gold case for your most beloved accessory will add a little polish and shine to your everyday routine. (Swiping right and left is more fun when your case is extra-pretty, right?)
A 90s-Inspired Satin Choker
Chokers are still going strong in 2017, and we don't hate it. This pretty satin version with a crystal charm detail would look perfect with a sweatshirt and jeans or a cocktail dress—you can't really go wrong.
A Pair of Fun, Funky Pink Suede Pumps
Pink suede pumps. Need we say more?
Cute Pajamas for a Night on the Couch
Do your Valentine's Day evening plans include a hot date with a bottle of wine and you couch? Cozy up in a pair of Three J NYC's cute pajamas. (And as a bonus, don't forget you can wear the top on its own with a pair of cropped jeans and pumps on your next night out.)
Festive Tassel Earrings
Sweep your hair up and show off these swingy, playful tassel earrings that combine red and pink in the most stylish way. (Don't worry, tassel earrings are still trending this year, too.)
A Completely Indulgent Pair of Sunglasses
We happen to think Valentine's Day is a perfectly acceptable occasion to treat yourself to something special, whether or not you're coupled up. Sunglasses are one of those luxury accessories you can enjoy all year long so you can invest with confidence. Sunday Somewhere's vibrant, almost candy-colored sunglasses will pair perfectly with winter white ensembles and all your best monochromatic looks.

What could be better on a chilly Valentine's Day date night than wrapping yourself up in a burgundy fur coat that will make your date want to wrap his arms around you?

Tuck this pretty, heart-covered blouse from Equipment into any of your favorite skirts—from a metallic pleated midi to a sassy black leather mini skirt. (Your date won't know what hit him!)
A Clutch for Valentine's Day—And All Year Long
We're obsessed with Everlane, and this little leather clutch is just one reason why. Wear it on Valentine's Day—and every date after that.
