While many view Valentine’s Day as the most romantic time of the year, not everyone is planning a night filled with prix fixe meals, chocolates and champagne. If you find yourself with rather nontraditional V-day plans, the standard outfit guide might not be suited to your needs. Whether you are haphazardly looking for love at a single’s mixer or shunning the idea altogether for a trip with the girls, we have the best outfits for your wardrobe woes.
Speed Dating
You may not be expecting to find love at the classic datefest that usually ends in disaster, but you might as well put your best foot forward just in case. An edgy LBD and metallic snakeskin pumps show off your sexier side, while a red coat and flirty clutch show that you have a sense of humor (which you will probably need).
Group Date
It might seem ridiculous to spend V day with anyone other than your S.O., but when it comes to celebrating love, some say the more the merrier. If you’re hitting the town with other couples, you will want to look fun and comfortable to take on a night of dining, barhopping and fodder for countless inside jokes.

Winery with the Girls
You would rather not spend the night getting hit on by a bunch of single, drunk men at a bar on girls’ night out; instead opt for a classy and relaxing day at the winery with friends. Look cozy in a turtleneck and jeans, but crank up the glam factor in a faux fur coat and rockstar flat boots.
