Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love and what it means to you. Whether you’re revelling in a new-found romance, cuddling up with your long-time love, spending the day with your soul sisters or celebrating treasured moments with your found family. Valentine’s Day is a chance for us all to celebrate friendship, home, passion, and purpose in whatever way means the most. Read on for our tips on how to dress for Valentine’s Day.
Outfit Ideas for Valentine's Day
V-Day isn’t just about extravagant date nights, wine, and roses anymore. (Although we’ll happily take them if you’re offering.) There are countless ways to celebrate, depending on what’s most important to you. If your ultimate romantic evening involves dressing up and heading out to a restaurant, there’s a limitless landscape of CAMILLA silk dresses, playsuits, and matching sets to covet. Each one, finished with exquisite embellishments, from cutwork lace detailing to fabulous feathers and crystals. If you’re more of a homebody, there’s an equally lavish selection of luxe leisure looks that are just perfect for cuddling up on the couch. Whatever your plans, embrace the self-love with an outfit that will have you crushing on yourself.
What to Wear on Valentine's Day
Seek inspiration for your Valentine's Day outfit by exploring your favourite hues in our CAMILLA colour edits. Here, you’ll find curated collection of romantic silhouettes in luxuriously dreamy silks, linens and organic cottons. Each CAMILLA piece incorporates elements of hand embroidery, beading and custom gold accents. The handcrafted silhouettes and bespoke prints alone are worthy of their ‘luxury fashion’ label, but it’s the finer, more artisanal details that elevate these gasp-worthy pieces to the realm of ‘forever treasures’ to be cherished for all eternity.

If you’re heading out on the town with your favourite person (or people), look to your location, season and unique sense of style as the basis for inspiration. Opt for blush tones of painterly florals and soft pastel hues for a distinctly feminine touch or embrace a sense of playful luxury by layering up your own wearable collage of textures, feather trimmed hemlines and sheer silk layering pieces to create a look that exudes personality and elicits gasps of ‘you look fabulous, darling!’
Casual Get Together
Whether it’s Galentine’s Day, Palentine’s Day or simply an ‘I haven’t seen you in forever’ catchup, V-Day is an excellent excuse to spend some time with your close friends. Keep it effortless with timeless tailoring, silky separates that mix and match or a statement CAMILLA blazer paired with your favourite jeans. If you’re heading out for a luxurious long lunch, and want to channel a sense of ‘I just threw this on’ flair, opt for a free-spirited and easy-going maxi dress or wrap dress in organic cotton or crisp linen, or a luxurious silk PJ set.
Cuddles On The Couch
Home is where the heart is, so staying in is always a valid lifestyle choice – but it’s one that often gets overlooked on special occasions and holidays. Your big night can be as ordinary or as lavish as you wish. Cook up a special meal or beloved recipe, queue up a movie and get comfy. There’s no reason you can’t treat yourself to a new outfit for the occasion either! There are plenty of CAMILLA leisure treasures, lounge wear and elevated essentials that are cool enough for the street, but cozy enough for the couch. Reach for a bejewelled hoodie, slinky animal print leggings adorned with signature iconography or a statement matching jersey track pant and sweater set. Naturally, each lounge piece is finished in true Camilla Franks style, with custom metal hardware and meticulous embellishments. V-Day is also a wonderful excuse to gift your other half something special. (The fact that it’s also a chance to finally get rid of that old, torn pair of sweatpants is just a pleasant side effect.)
Which Color Dress for Valentine's Day?
Colour is a visual love language that can set the tone for your entire Valentine's Day. Red is undoubtedly the shade most associated with love and passion and it never fails to make a statement. Bespoke CAMILLA prints overflowing with red florals, such as roses, are icons for a reason and will remain impossibly chic from season to season. If you're in the mood for something softer, delicate blush pink tones or creamy ivory hues entwined with floral motifs are not only ideal for Valentine’s Day, but a worthy addition to your forever favourites, which you’re bound to reach for over and over. An evening of elegance is a chance to delve into a more opulent colour palette. Think: rich ebony, midnight silk or a velvety chocolate brown accented with baroque flourishes, animal print or vibrant bouquets of luscious blooms.
Valentine’s Day needn’t be a cookie-cutter holiday that you avoid (or grin-and-bear like an ill-fitting pair of jeans). Like anything, it’s what you make of it. Embody the spirit of love and celebrate with your nearest and dearest in whatever way your heart desires… With a wardrobe to match, naturally!
