If there’s one subject dominating conversation on the heat team right now it’s this: what to wear on Valentine’s Day. While some of us are having a girly night watching Love Island in our pyjamas, others will be out on a swoon-worthy date with their S.O. or sneaky link - and we've all been in search of the perfect Valentine's Day outfit, and of course, the perfect Valentine's gift to go with it.

Feathers, satin, and pink and red hues bring a wave of romance to our dressing in the season of love, and it’s no different for the heat team. Whether you want the perfect Valentine's dress, a slinky co-ord, or a comfy pair of heart print pyjamas, we've got you covered with all the Valentine's Day outfit ideas. So if you're still stuck on what to buy for Valentine's, scroll down to see what we picked.

I go all out for Valentines Day outfits. Obviously, a pop of red is needed – and this lacy number really packs a punch. It’s perfect for a fancy dinner with the girls, especially paired with a kitten heel and a sleek updo.

Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to dress girly. More is more – go wild! This year I want to invest in something versatile that I’m going to wear again and again. So when I spottedthis blazer, I instantly thought PERFECT! It’s pink enough for the big day but also glam enough for other events throughout the year. Although you can buy the matching trousers, on this occasion I prefer to style with either black tailored trousers or a black slip skirt paired with metallic heels and chunky silver jewellery. The neckline is low enough for a gorgeous lingerie bra to be peaking through or throw on a crisp white shirt to finish the look.

Move over Christmas PJ's, we're all about Valentines PJ's right now. This heart print shorts set is such a cute choice for a romantic night in or galentines sleepover.

The way to my heart is with Tatty Devine, and the bigger the better. Subtle, what’s that?
This gorgeous piece from the Tatty gals is perfect for the day of love and goes with EVERYTHING or even nothing at all… Saucy.

I’ll be spending the night on my sofa watching Love Island, so what could be better than coupling up with these super cute PJs? The oversized collar and bow detailing are 100% my type on paper!

It's the LBD with an added touch of drama. It features a flirty open back, silky material and dramatic scarf neck detail. Sophisticated, classy and one that can easily transition from a meal to a night out, it's a dress you can wear again and again, for Valentine's Day and beyond.

I’ll take any excuse to dress up, and Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to bring the glam! This ASOS DESIGN low-back maxi dress is a showstopper, with its dramatic bell sleeves serving effortless boho vibes and a figure-hugging silhouette that screams sexy. The sultry low back strikes just the right balance of elegance and allure, making it unforgettable from every angle.

Nobody nails Valentine’s fashion quite like Oh Polly, every year their romantic fashion line is drop dead gorge and 2025 is no different. The pink ‘Lenore’ dress with its heart detailing is a standout product for me, it’s giving Sabrina Carpenter meets Romy and Michelle. Perfect for a night out with the girls or a date with your current crush, it’s also available in red because, duh, it’s Valentines

As soon as I saw this dress I knew that I needed it and when better than for Galentine’s with the girls? We always do something fun and boujee so this dress would be perfect! Paired with some red heels and jewellery and I’m good to go.

For me date night calls for a slinky satin dress and this one from Anthropologie is giving designer vibes. Not to mention, it’s majorly reduced at the moment. I’d pair it with knee-high heeled boots and an oversized blazer for a chic look. It would look just as good come summer with some strappy sandals, making it a great investment piece

Would it be valentines without a little red dress? We love the unique pleating on the sides and the corset-style square neckline. An effortlessly cool date-night look.

Chosen by Senior Commercial Content Writer Samantha Price
I love this dress from ASOS with its stunning red floral print - which, let's be honest - is so on theme for Valentine's Day and perfect for a romantic date night at a fancy restaurant. Style with a pair of killer heels, statement gold hoops and slicked back bun for the ultimate V-Day dress.
