There’s no need to stress over finding the ultimate Valentine’s Day outfit, or the perfect gift either—instead, put together a sweet (or sexy) look from what’s already in your own wardrobe. Whether you’re planning the perfect look for date night with your significant other, or just a low-key night in with the girls over a few glasses of wine, it’s time to consider reworking your prettiest nightwear into a brand-new ensemble.
Get in the lovey-dovey spirit by transforming your getting-ready robe into a chic evening wrap dress, elevating the look with a pair of crystal and pearl drop earrings. Lacy bralettes and corseted tops could make their out-of-the-house debut, peeping out from under a blazer—or even worn alone, if you’re feeling daring. Make a simple silk cami feel brand-new by pairing it with a floral pleated skirt, or take a slip dress for a night on the town. To finish the look, slide into a pair of festive red, bow-embellished satin slippers, or a pair of brocade sling-back heels.
Here, four lingerie-inspired looks for an inside-out approach to dreamy day-to-date-night Valentine’s Day ensembles.
La Vie en Robe
With the quick addition of evening-ready accessories, a silky floral robe can be transformed into a chic yet comfortable look for any occasion—even if that means not leaving your house.
City Slip
It’s easy to layer if you have the right pieces. Start with a beyond-the-bedroom bias-cut slip, throw a sweater over your shoulders, and top it off with a pearl-embellished fedora to bring you from coffee meetings to evening cocktails.
Floral Brocade
Spruce up your nine-to-five pleated skirt with a slinky lace-trimmed cami and romantic accessories like an embroidered crossbody and rosy red mules.
Velvet Revolution
Give your suiting some date-night flair with subtle textures like velvets or jacquards. Drape the jacket over your shoulders and show off a bustier top beneath.
