Although, Valentine’s Day is a dedicated for couples — February 13th, also known as Galentine’s Day, is the perfect excuse to celebrate your best friends and treat yourselves to a day of fun, laughter, and style. Whether you’re planning a cozy get-together, a chic brunch, or a glamorous night out, dressing up for the occasion makes it all the more special. While there’s no official dress code for Galentine’s Day, the goal is to look and feel fabulous in an outfit that fits your vibe.

Whether you’re dressing up for a candlelit dinner, a fun Galentine’s night, or a casual coffee date, the key is to choose an outfit that makes you feel confident and comfortable. According to Yogesh Agarwal, Country Head of fashion label Savana, it is the perfect occasion to go ahead and wear your heart on your sleeve. He believes in fashion that’s both expressive and empowering. “The day is all about celebrating love, and your outfit should reflect that. This season, soft and romantic hues like blush pink, pastel lavender, and classic reds are perfect choices. If you’re looking for something bold yet elegant, deep wine and ruby tones add a sophisticated touch,” he mentions.

For designs, feminine silhouettes such as flowy dresses, corset tops, and structured co-ords are great options. Yogesh adds, “Playful details like ruffles, lace, and satin fabrics add a romantic feel, while statement accessories elevate your look. If you prefer a more understated vibe, a chic monochrome ensemble in pastel tones with delicate gold jewellery is effortlessly stylish.”

Fashion tips for fun, flirty outfits:

If your ideal Galentine’s Day involves lounging with your besties, indulging in delicious treats, and watching rom-coms, comfort is key. Here are some cool and comfy style ideas for planning a memorable day out.

Luxe lounge sets: Elevate your stay-at-home style with matching loungewear sets in soft pastels or rich jewel tones. Think silky pajamas, fleece co-ords, or stylish sweats for a put-together yet relaxed look. Invest in a chunky knit cardigan and pair it with leggings or high-waisted jeans to add a cozy, effortless touch. Layer over a lacy camisole for a feminine flair. Keep your feet warm while still looking stylish with fluffy slippers or fun patterned socks.

Brunch and shopping spree: A Galentine’s Day brunch calls for a playful and polished outfit. Whether you’re sipping mimosas or hitting up your favorite stores, embrace soft, flirty styles. Blush tones, lavender, and baby blue are perfect for a dreamy, romantic aesthetic. Go for trendy mini skirt, paired with a cozy sweater and sleek knee-high boots for an effortlessly chic ensemble.

Tops with bow accents or floral embellishments add a touch of femininity and charm. Pair with denim or an A-line skirt for a picture-perfect outfit. A two-piece matching set paired with a cropped blazer gives a playful energy.

Glam night out: If plans involve a fancy dinner or hitting the town, it’s the perfect excuse to go all out with bold and glamorous outfits. A trendy cut-out dress strikes the perfect balance between sexy and stylish. Choose one in a vibrant color or classic black to turn heads. A sequin or metallic skirt paired with a sleek top or bodysuit brings the ultimate party vibe. A faux fur or oversized coat not only keeps you warm but also adds a luxe finishing touch to your ensemble.
