14th February; it comes around only once each year and lends the perfect opportunity to play dress up. If 2021 was all about lazying in pyjamas, dodging glam, and fleeing at the sight of your fully-stocked wardrobe, now is the time to spice things up, and well, make a bit of an effort. Once you’ve got your special someone’s V-day gift sorted—the toughest part of the whole shebang, perhaps—shift the focus to yourself.
Brace yourself for the million-dollar question: What are you planning to wear on the day of love? Going for an edgy, grunge look or a sophisticated, leave-him-wanting-more kinda vibe? You pick, but we’re here to help (actually, your favourite star is). We’ve rounded up a few stylish, uber-chic celebrity sartorial choices that’ll help you nail Valentine’s Day dressing like an absolute pro.
Denim-on-Denim
The 80s fashion trend just never gets old, and we're not one to complain. Throw on a pair of fitted denim jeans with a denim corset and jacket, and amp up the look with dainty accessories—think gold hoops, layered necklaces, or chunky bracelets.

Latex Love
Latex, the rubber-like material, is what's hot in the market right now. From the Kardashian sisters to Deepika Padukone, it has become the go-to choice to make heard turn. A latex dress, a latex jacket, a latex bandeau—the world is your oyster.

Power Dressing
Gender-fluid fashion is the way to go. Pick a sequined pantsuit or dress-down in a pair of joggers and a form-fitting crop top—anything androgynous suggests that you may choose to call the shots this Valentine's day, and why not?

Go Bold Or Go Home
2022 calls for striking prints and embroideries—and Bollywood makes a strong case for it as well. Bold florals, checks, animal skin replicas, and geometric patterns, to name a few.

Easy Breezy
Day-to-night outfits have got you covered this Valentine's day. A flowy neon midi dress, a tie and dye off-shoulder number, or, a cute corset top with a pleated skirt are a few options you can pick from.

Make a Statement
This year, let's ditch the LBD, shall we? Instead, opt for shimmer, metallics, and satin slip dresses that can turn up the heat almost instantly. These showstopper fabrics stand on their own, speak loud and clear, and require minimal-to-none sprucing up with add-on accessories. If not a whole dress, throw on a metallic/sequined blazer if you will.
