In preparation for the most romantic day of the year, the fashion world celebrates the lovely Valentine’s Day with the release of capsule collections with all of the symbols and colors associated with this holiday. From red to pink to white, and hearts to flowers to smooches, there is a perfect outfit for everybody to celebrate this iconic day. Let us remember the power and beauty of love and how fashion can be a part of our own love stories!
First, let’s get cozy and start the morning right in a pajama set from the Skims’ Valentine’s Day Shop. This collection was released on January 23rd and includes a variety of pieces: lounge sets, camis, robes, slippers, and lingerie. There are over 20 limited edition items, with a huge price range of $16 to $124 USD. They also have options for men, kids, and pets, as this holiday is meant to be celebrated by everyone! Skims says, “Raise the romance with luxe lingerie, sexy little things, sweet sleepwear, and more SKIMS that’ll melt your heart.” You can shop their collection at Skims Valentine's Shop.
Next, get ready for the day with Tom Ford’s Love Collection makeup set. This collection is for the ladies who are going for the iconic “simple warm eyes with a bold red lip” look. The collection comes in a limited edition matte red packaging and heart embossings. With shades of honeymoon, love scene, scarlett rouge, and 100 100. You already look your best, but feel your best as well with the Tom Ford “Love Collection.”
For the ladies who call themselves “Lover Girls,” dress for the occasion with the Dior Le Cœur des Papillons Collection. This collection is all about delicate flower bouquets and butterflies, which really emphasize the whimsical and poetic side of Valentine’s Day. Dior is converting the feeling of butterflies into a tangible replication. This pattern was designed by Pietro Ruffo and incorporates shades of red with white.
And finally, no outfit or occasion is complete without a handbag. Coach has the perfect Valentine’s Day Shop Collection, including heart-shaped handbags, jewelry, and shoes. The red heart-shaped purse with silver accents is a perfect choice for a date night or a gift. Beauty meets function with this piece as it can be worn as a cross-body or a clutch.
For those planning to spend their Valentine’s Day at home, Diptyque Paris launched a limited edition Valentine’s Day duo candle set called Baies and Roses. It’s the perfect final touch to set the mood. The harmony of fruits and flowers creates a perfect romantic ambiance and subtle declaration of love.
Let’s get ready to celebrate a day of love, romance, friendship, and happiness. This year, Valentine's Day is on Wednesday, February 14.
