1. Heart Sweater, Jeans and Loafers
For some, Galentine’s feels like the “anti-Valentine’s,” but that doesn’t mean you can’t get festive! A small heart-print sweater is playful without being “too much” and pairs perfectly with your favorite jeans. Loafers keep it classic but easygoing, which makes the outfit perfect for transitioning from work to an early dinner. A red lip and a few gold jewelry pieces tie it all together and give the look a little extra sparkle.
2. Red Dress with White Sneakers
The beauty of Galentine’s is that, since you’re celebrating with your besties, the stakes aren’t really that high. After all, who doesn’t love seeing their bestie dressed up? This means a cute Galentine’s dress can easily be the same red dress you wore to dinner last month or one you’ve had in your closet for years. Wear it with a pair white sneakers and add a tote bag or simple gold hoops to finish it off.
3. Matching Set with Slippers
Galentine’s pajama party, anyone? If your plan is staying in with your gals, a matching set or pajamas strikes the perfect balance between comfy and cute — perfect for lounging, snapping selfies or a low-key movie marathon. If you’re starting in and going out, pair of ankle booties and finish it off with a cozy cardigan or oversized jacket in contrasting colors. If you’re staying in and enjoying each other's company, wear a cute pair of plush slippers for staying in and laughing with your girls all night.
4. White Sweater with Platform Espadrilles
You don’t have to go full Valentine’s day colors, and we love a chic and understated look. A classic white sweater is one of those cute Galentine’s Day outfits that keep things classy and can take you from restaurant to movie theatre to late-night live music. Pair with your favorite mom jeans or a flowy skirt, and complete the look with platform espadrilles to add a little height and a lot of charm. This outfit is effortlessly chic and works for a daytime brunch or a casual dinner with your crew.
5. Blouse with High-Waisted Jeans and Flats
If the words “fun” and “romantic” are in your Galentine’s day out inspo vision board, a flowy blouse with high-waisted jeans hits just the right note. Blouses with a soft, flowy fabric give off a hint of boho energy, while high-waisted denim keeps the look both trendy and timeless. Slip into some chic flats — think classic ballet, embroidered, or even a fun metallic — and add a feminine touch with a delicate necklace or a pair of statement earrings.
6. Ribbed Cardigan with Leggings and Sneakers
Outdoor Galentine’s plans call for something comfy and warm — and what’s better than a cozy ribbed cardigan? Combine your Galentine’s sweater with your favorite leggings for a look that’s equal parts functional and stylish. And, of course, don’t forget to tie it all together with a pair of sneakers to stay comfy and ready for whatever the day brings. As far as accessories go, add a crossbody bag or a chunky scarf for a little extra texture, and you’re ready to celebrate in comfort and style.
7. Pleated Midi Skirt with Cropped Sweater and Mules
Looking for fun and romantic Valentine’s Day outfit ideas that can easily take you from Galentine’s day plans to a romantic date night? A pleated midi skirt and cropped sweater is a playful and elegant outfit that works for both the day and night. Mules are a chic addition to dress up the outfit but still comfortable for almost any type of plan. We love simple, minimalist gold hoops with this look or bring in the Valentine’s theme with red or pink accessories.
8. Button-Up with Trousers and Loafers
Heading to Galentine’s plans straight from the office? Tailored trousers with a button-up shirt is already a classic for the office, so why not bring your professional-chic style to girls lunch or dinner out? Loafers complete the look, and you can swap subtle studs for bold earrings or choose a statement bag to bring a little personality.
9. Velvet Blazer with Slim-Fit Pants and Heeled Booties
Not sure what to wear to a Galentine’s party that has no dress code? You can’t go wrong with a velvet blazer, which is equal parts luxurious and effortless. Both oversized and tailored blazers go great with slim-fit pants and look amazing with heeled booties. Play with textures by layering a silky cami underneath or add a pop of color with accessories like bold earrings or a clutch.
10. Oversized Blazer with Leather Pants and Chunky Sneakers
If you’re looking for Galentine’s shirt ideas that bring that cool girl street style, go for a blazer, leather pants, and chunky sneakers. The blazer adds a touch of structure, while the leather pants and sneakers give the outfit a bold, edgy vibe. Throw on a cropped tank or a fitted bodysuit underneath to balance the proportions and finish with a chain necklace or statement bag for that extra hint of personality.
11. Tulle Skirt with a Fitted Top and Ballet Flats
Channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw with a tulle skirt and a cute fitted top. It’s the perfect Galentine’s party outfit because the dreamy silhouette of the skirt is both chic and romantic, contrasting beautifully with the sleek silhouette of the top. If you’re going to be on your feet all night, skip the heels and opt for ballet flats. Accessorize with bold earrings or a cropped jacket to throw over your shoulders and you’re ready to take on Galentine’s Day in style.
