10 Non-Traditional Valentine's Day Looks

February 05, 2025 ยท by Andrea Long

Love Valentine's Day but aren't a fan of the traditional red and pink? I hear you! Reds and pinks are beautiful but not always a favorite for so many ladies. Instead of conforming to a color you don't prefer, think outside the box for a non-traditional Valentine's Day look! Whether you are enjoying a fancy dinner with your sweetheart, brunch with your gal pals for Galentine's, or a more casual outing, we have a dress suited to your tastes! I've put together a list of my ten favorite Valentine's Day looks for you to look and feel your best!

1. Black and Cream

Old money colors! This classy pairing is a favorite of mine. Florals add a touch of femininity to these neutral tones in the Bloom Where You Are dress. This dress is so flattering with balloon sleeves, button-up bodice, collar, and dainty ruffle at the hem. Add a pop of color with some block heel pumps and grab your clutch purse for an elegant evening out. 

2. Black

A classic LBD (little black dress) is always a great option for Valentine's Day! If you're a girly girl, you'll love the dainty lace of the Eclipse of Elegance dress. Tiny pleats add a vintage feel. Pair with black heels and handbag for an all-black look or add a pop of color with your accessories. The options are endless!

3. Cream

A lovely off-white or cream dress can be positively stunning for Valentine's Day. Think of it as a blank canvas for all the accessorizing ideas! Look like an angel in our cream Heart in Harmony dress. Gold heels will pair beautifully for a stunning look.

4. Bronze

If you're going for a more casual look, bronze or brown can be dressed up or down. Pair the Memorable Moments dress with ballet flats and a jean jacket or slides and a blazer for a more business-like style. 

5. Black and White

Dressing up not your thing? A simple white and black dress with flats can be entirely stylish for Valentine's Day! Add in pops of red and pink if you desire. Or style the Beautiful Day Ahead dress simply with loafers for a casual style. 

6. Peach Floral

Galentine's brunch has never been sweeter with a feminine maxi dress. With a flattering, oversized fit, the Fairytale Fields dress checks all the boxes. Pair with mules to meet your girl friends at your favorite brunch spot. 

7. Watercolor Florals

Go with a more pastel look with a watercolor floral dress. Feminine and whimsical, the Golden Harvest dress will work for just about any Valentine's Day event. Dress it up with neutral heels or down with dainty flats; don't forget a gold or beaded headband to complete your look!

8. Vintage Floral

A simple sheath dress in vintage florals can be a stylish Valentine's Day option! Enjoy a sweet coffee date with your sweetheart and style the Harmony Horizon dress with ankle boots and a chunky sweater. 

9. Gold

For a sweetheart banquet, go for gold (literally) with a fancy midi dress! The Meadow of Marigolds dress is a showstopper with glittering flowers and puff sleeves. Dress it up even more with sparkly heels and hair accessories.

10. Navy

Navy is the new black! For a formal Valentine's event or a photoshoot with your husband, a navy tulle maxi dress can be completely elegant and easy to accessorize. The Twirling in the Twilight dress will go perfectly with metallic heels and handbag or add a pop of color instead. 

Traditional pink and red or non-traditional hues, I hope this list helps you choose your perfect Valentine's Day outfit!
