Valentines Day Outfit Ideas

The most romantic holiday of the year is here, and 2020 is giving us all a whole weekend to celebrate Valentine’s Day! And with a little help from ‘& Other Stories’ and the colour red we have put together some outfit ideas for a romantic rendezvous with your partner or a first date.


Outfit 1: The Boss Babe

Choosing an outfit for an after-work Valentine’s date can seem a little daunting. Why not opt for this cute, red full sleeves, button-down jumper, paired with ankle-length cut-off denim pants? The gold-heart button details make this rather appropriate for the occasion of Valentine’s, and is not too flashy when on official meetings.  Add on a pair of blue flats and a necklace and this ensemble will make an easy yet stylish statement for a pub-night with your beau or an evening with your Galentines.

Outfit 2: So Sweet

Have a fancy date at a luxury restaurant? Ditch your standard LBD and get with the red theme of St. Valentine’s with the Jacquard Puff Sleeve Midi Slit Dress. The length of the dress gives an elegant and tall shape to one’s silhouette, and the gathered sleeves add detail to the design. Clasp on a pair of strappy heel sandals in a metallic finish for a bit more festivity and glimmer, and an elegant bag to match. This one is sure to make heads turn!

Outfit 3: The Modern Retro

This Relaxed Heart Motif Dotted Sweater is a cosy knitted piece with puffed sleeves and polka-dot and heart details in a contrasting bright white against the Valentine Red backdrop. You could pair it with anything you like, such as jeans, or a black skirt like I have done here. I decided to make this sweater’s true partner the patent white boots instead – a nod to the cooler retro American diner era. Add a colourful handbag and you’re all ready for a Sunday brunch date and then to snuggle up watching your favourite rom-com!

But do not feel obligated to conform to the Valentine Red from the colour palette. Play with textures and patterns with co-ords like this tailored hight waisted tweed mini skirt and jacket. For a more sensational look, you could also opt for a jumpsuit like the black belted puff sleeve romper for a night about town. The options are endless!

Our recommendation for your best companions on your date is confidence and a pretty smile.

Party Look Ideas for the season

The holiday season is officially here, with the festive countdown already started and you’ll probably be looking forward to two weeks of ultimate partying ahead. Well, you may have spent hours at the gym to look your best and cheat with delicacies and champagne, but is your wardrobe ready yet? Well, it’s high time that you start planning your holiday outfits for all the parties you’ve been invited to. And it would be smarter to have a few extra ones decided, just in case you get an unexpected invite! There would be family gatherings, work parties and New Year’s Eve and you would want to a unique look every time you step out. So let me help you with some of the best outfit tips that I’ve shortlisted for this festive season.

Before we go ahead with the tips, I would like to talk a bit about Esprit, my favorite for special occasion dresses. From the iconic little black number to sexy bodycon dresses, elegant sheath dresses, feminine maxi dresses, glamorous bustier dresses, and more, the special occasion dresses from Esprit come to my rescue every time. I already have some stocked in my wardrobe that I plan to wear this festive season and I’m planning to indulge in some more because with Esprit, I cannot just have enough!  Now let me share some cool festive wear tips that you can follow to look best this party season.

Experience the warmth of velvet

Velvet is not just for Santa Claus, it is ruling the fashion circuits this year as it looks amazing and keeps you warm as well. And what about this stunning Sheath Velvet dress with silver dots from Esprit. A perfect pick that has all the sass to make you stand apart on the dance floor! Team it with ankle-length boots and you’re ready to set the floor on fire.

Paint the town red

While black is the ultimate party color, you would not want to make it your signature style by wearing it on every single occasion. My idea of a perfect night out would be a rich velvet number in red that gets you all the attention you deserve. Pair it with a shimmery clutch, pretty dangling earrings and high heels and you’ll be a star in your right.

Don’t forget the shimmer

Chiffon dress with sequins
Price: £ 69.00

And how can you forget your sequins this festive season because no holiday wardrobe is ever complete without a shimmering sequined outfit. I’ve picked up this stunning dark teal chiffon sequin dress from Esprit for the New Year Eve. And this one promises to look awesome even if I wear it with a warm coat or jacket to keep the chill out.

Day or night, just be there with a perfect dress

Another challenge with festive dressing is that we think so much about the nights out that we tend to ignore the day parties. For the woman who wants to have all eyes on her as she attends a day out this party season, I recommend this trendy Chiffon dress with colorful woven polka dots. I’m sure you’ll love it as much I do.

Get gorgeously glittery

No shying around this party season! Reserve this gorgeous pleated mesh skirt with sequins for one of the special evenings that you would want to light up with your stunning presence. The lovely color coordinates well with black. I would recommend teaming it with a stretchy black jumper and high heels in black.

Be a showstopper with leather

One occasion that leaves me confused regarding the choice of outfits is an office party. But this time, I’ve found something perfect. Leather is a fabric that I find absolutely irresistible and would not want to skip for my festive dressing too. I’ve picked this Esprit jersey and faux leather dress to satiate my leather-love this season and is a good option for formal gatherings as well. The Bardot neck adds to the glamour quotient while the faux leather skirt gives it just the right dose of sass.

Save a maxi dress for a special occasion

I’m a true maxi lover and would not want to skip this style in any season, let alone holidays. So I have a perfect maxi dress saved for a special occasion. This sensuous black chiffon maxi dress from Esprit is embellished with rhinestones that give it the glitter and shine for being a perfect showstopper this New Year Eve.

Also to add more panache to your look dont forget to pair your outfit with killer pair of heels

Hope these tips will help you have a sassy holiday season ahead!
