Your Valentine’s Day plans might bring you out for a romantic date night, in for a cozy evening at home, or something completely out of the box. No matter what's on the itinerary for you and your date—even if said date is just your BFF—there's no excuse to skimp in the outfit department. In fact, Cupid’s holiday is reason enough to get all dolled up.

When it comes to putting together a foolproof look that’s worthy of your V-Day agenda, don’t overcomplicate things. You can never go wrong with a chic printed dress. Or consider investing in a well-tailored skirt suit that you can wear well after the festivities are over. And if dresses or skirts aren’t really your thing, pull a pair of wide-leg pants from your workwear collection to create a look that’s more in line with your personal aesthetic.

Ahead, nine outfit ideas to get you started on the right path, as well as the key pieces you need to re-create them at home.
