Are you unsure about what to wear for Valentine’s Day? Regardless of how you feel about the annual “Day of Love,” we can all agree that it’s the perfect occasion to look stunning and make your partner weak at the knees. However, it’s important to remember that the perfect look shouldn’t come at the cost of your modesty. If you’re looking for Valentine’s Day outfits that are modest and appropriate for Indian culture, then you’ve come to the right place.

So if you’re not sure what to wear for Valentine’s Day, keep scrolling for the Valentine’s Day outfit ideas that will have you feeling like the star of your rom-com.

Use That Denim Skirt

Denim skirts are all the rage now. Use it to flatter yourself this Valentine’s Day. You can work with either a skirt with a slit or one without a slit. Pair it with a red top, preferably one that fits. You can opt for the top with a loose fit too. Choose a top with romantic necklines, such as scoop, halter, sweetheart, V, or off-shoulder. Pair it with black boots or red heels.

Also, we believe in repeating outfits. There is no obligatory rule that you need to wear only red. Replace the red top with any coloured top, as denim goes with everything. You can also replace the denim skirt with a black pencil skirt or a long-flared skirt.

Get Romantic With Dress

Layer! Layer! Layer! Wear a layered outfit this Valentine’s Day. The preferred combo for this layering set-up is a printed dress and a solid sweater.  Try to keep the layering monochrome. For example, in the picture, different shades and styles of red are used. This gives a very chic and romantic look. Layer your outfit with different shades but the same colour.

For the dress, you can choose straight or flared midis with romantic prints such as polka, floral, or hearts. For short dresses, you wear tights under them.

Jeans to rescue

This is the simplest but most effective outfit. Jeans are always flattering if worn correctly. Choose blue denim jeans, preferably high-waisted. But high-waisted bell bottoms are the most romantic. Fit can be according to your comfort. Then choose a thin sweater with a little loose fit and tuck it in. You can also use those white sneakers for this festive season. Again, you can mix, match, and repeat your colours; we support repetition.

For shoes, boots! Boots! boots!. For hair, you can tie your hair into a low ponytail. Accessorize it with a hair ribbon, preferably a nude shade and bow-shaped.

Stuns with Indian

Indian wear faces severe discrimination against Western wear on Valentine’s Day. This style of clothing is heavily typecast as anti-valentine. But nothing sways a desi guy’s heart more than a red kurta and bindi.

Choose a bright red kurta. Pair it with nude heels and black bindis. And, voila! Your sweetheart is on the floor, filled with love. You can again choose romantic necklines like V or Sweetheart. Choose a figure-shaping fabric such as a georgette or chiffon. For design, go with floral or chicken Kari mirror work. Pink chicken Kari is also an option that you can try this Valentine’s.
