Can I wear jeans on Valentine's Day?
Absolutely! Jeans work for Valentine's Day when styled intentionally. Choose darker washes or black denim for a more polished look, and pair with elevated tops like satin blouses, lace-detailed camisoles, or embellished sweaters in romantic colors. Dress up jeans with heeled boots or strappy heels, and add statement jewelry. This approach works especially well for casual dates, daytime Valentine's activities, or Galentine's celebrations. The key is balancing the casual denim with dressier elements.

When in doubt, a little black dress with Valentine's-themed accessories works anywhere.

If you're doing an at-home date night, elevate loungewear with delicate jewelry and styled hair for special-occasion vibes that still feel relaxed.
