20 stylish Galentine's Day outfits your friends will love

When Valentine’s Day rolls around, most people think of it as the time to celebrate a significant other. But not everyone has someone like that. And, even if you do, that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate the platonic love you have for other people in your life.

A major way to celebrate your friendship is to have a Galentine’s Day, especially as it’s traditionally celebrated on Feb. 13, the day before Valentine’s Day, giving you equal time with your friends and your partner or partners. But you’ll need a fitting outfit.

In this article: Sheln Blouse, Bamans Work Pants and Gatherfun Bracelets.

Parts of an outfit

A Galentine’s Day outfit is made of four parts.

  • Top: This portion of your outfit should, in some way, reference that you’re celebrating Galentine’s Day. Think shirts with hearts on them and the colors red and pink. This category also includes jackets, though there’s usually no need to buy a new jacket just for Galentine’s Day.
  • Bottom: The bottom of your outfit should help dress your top up or down as fits your location. For example, try dressing up with work pants if you’re going to a higher-end venue or dressing down with jeans for a lunch trip to a brewery.
  • Shoes: Don’t underestimate the impact your chosen shoes can have on your overall Galentine’s Day look, and make sure they enhance your outfit rather than detract from it.
  • Accessories: This category is where you can have the most fun with the Galentine’s theme. Try heart-shaped earrings or matching bracelets with all the attendees.
