If you're a true lover girl, you understand that Valentine's Day is indeed every day. And whether you’re single, in love, or falling in love, date night will always be a thing, meaning you'll always need to have a look on hand. This is for those of us who have spent hours in front of their closet and realized that they have nothing to wear (even though your closet is bursting at the seams). Especially for a night you’ve been waiting for, you want to look your best, and we don’t blame you. Let's be honest, dating is already a war path itself, so the least we could do was ease some of that stress with some date night fashion tips no matter the stage of your love journey.

No need to stare at your closet for hours or cancel plans. Get ready with us as we pick the perfect outfit for your relationship status. Obviously interchangeable, we understand love isn't linear. Don’t worry; your friends at Teen Vogue are here to make sure your date night Valentines Day and beyond, is foolproof.

‍“Live, laugh, love!”

You're single, and that's just fine. Whether you’re celebrating Galentine’s or just having a lovely time with friends this Valentine’s Day– that's no reason to miss out on all the fun. Having a comfy night in? Or hitting the town dressed to impress (just might meet someone special)? Try the no pants trend and opt for tights with an oversized tee, and stacked necklaces. Nothing screams enjoying singledom like waltzing around in an effortless, yet daring look.

‍“Aww, you're so sweet…”

So you're not sure if this is going to go anywhere, but you’re not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. It’s an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and potentially be pleasantly surprised. Why not? And what better for an unexpected date than an unexpected outfit. Wear something you wouldn’t usually wear, or something that you wouldn’t usually pair with. If you’re not having fun on the date, at least your outfit is. Try an entire monochromatic look, clash patterns, go for cargos and a heel, throw in a quirky bag. The world is your oyster, even if you decide to never see your date again.

‍“OMG, this could actually work out”

You’re feeling flirty. We see it, you see it, and we respect it. You’re hoping this ends up in your favor (and we do, too). You’ll want to place all your best cards on the table, and nothing screams “I want to keep this going" more than a mini skirt and knee-high boot combo. Your mini skirt can be pleated, satin, or whatever you feel comfortable in. Pair it with a skin-tight, long-sleeve ribbed top or your favorite graphic tee. This outfit will breathe into you an air of confidence, and no one will be able to turn away from your charm in such a look.

‍“Totally into you”

Still feeling butterflies? This one’s for you. Wear something you feel confident in—nothing too restricting. You’re in the honeymoon phase; think flowy, fun, and light. You could be pulled into a dance at any moment or end up jumping into their arms. You’re going to want an outfit that allows for some movement. So, we recommend a crop top, straight-leg leather pants (or jeans!), and a pair of heeled boots or loafers. Remember, they’re obsessed with you; you can do no wrong in any outfit.

‍“I love you so much”

Found your happily ever after? We’re so happy for you! Let's give that ‘no one else but you’ energy with the perfect outfit. The best thing about commitment is that it's the gift that keeps giving. You never stop learning one another, so much to discover, same with your style evolution. We recommend donning a classic red dress and a kitten heel. That classic red still has the effect to stop anyone in their tracks. Add that element of surprise with an oversized accessory. Marrying that classic look with drama, for a romantic evening.
