19 Cozy Yet Cute Valentine’s Day Outfit Ideas for Staying In

Valentine’s Day is almost here, and trying to decide what to wear can be overwhelming. Whether you plan on making dinner and enjoying a night in with your loved one or catching a movie, I’ve rounded up some cute and comfy looks you’ll love for Valentine’s day at home.

With these outfits you can find a perfect balance between cute and comfy, you just need some inspiration. You aren’t going out to some restaurant where you have to look a certain way so have fun with your outfits and wear what makes you feel comfortable without worrying about being uncomfortable all night. Another pro to staying in is you can wear pieces that you wouldn’t necessarily wear out and about.

White Embroidered Short-Sleeve Shirt with Lace-Panel Wide-Leg Trousers

Embroidery and lace are so romantic for Valentines Day, but not over the top. They allow you to still look and feel comfy which is what you are going for.

The cowboy boots are honestly my favorite part of the whole outfit. They make it more playful and not so “grown up.”

Stick with Valentine’s themed colors like red or pink embroidery to keep your holiday vibe going without being too cheesy.

Red Scoop-Neck Bodysuit with Pastel Pink Joggers

You’re going to love this look. All you have to do is grab a red bodysuit and pair it with pastel pink joggers – simple as that! It’s the perfect combination of romantic but still comfy.

Bodysuits are great for keeping everything tucked in and the scoop neck adds femininity to the look without trying too hard.

Just a quick tip when you’re shopping for your bodysuit – look for ones that have snap closures at the bottom! Believe me, you will appreciate it when you have to use the restroom. It’s the little things that make you not want to wear bodysuits sometimes. Nobody wants to awkwardly unzip at their desk bathroom.

Red and White Striped Satin Pajama Set

Ok so if you’ll be staying in for Valentine’s but still want to look cute, opt for these red and white striped satin pajamas and throw on some pearl necklace. You’ll be comfortable enough to lounge around on the couch with some chocolate later but still feel kind of fancy 😉

Satin makes your regular ol pajamas look more expensive and the stripes keep it playful rather than boring. Try and find a pair that has piping along the edges too because it just looks higher quality and you can dress them up if you need to wear them out.

It’s honestly the best when you want to look put together without trying too hard. Like you made an effort but still relaxed, which is literally what you are going for on a at home date night.

Red Striped Knit Midi Dress with a Matching Open-Front Cardigan

A red striped knit midi dress and open-front cardigan is so cute for Valentines Day and isn’t over the top. This would also be cute for grabbing lunch with girlfriends or running errands before you meet up later.

Knit fabric is super stretchy and will move with you all day long. Not to mention the open-front cardigan is handy because Valentine’s day weather is so bipolar – you never know if it’ll be chilly or warm that day. If it gets too warm you can always take it off!

Pro tip: If you dress has horizontal stripes, pair it with a solid color cardigan. It looks 100x better that way and not as matchy. Also if it is really chilly where you live, wear some tights under your dress. They will keep you warm and nobody will notice them under there but you’ll be a lot more comfortable.

This whole outfit is so great because it’s festive yet functional. You won’t be freezing or over dressed – exactly what you want for low key holiday events.

If your planning on spending the night in with your S.O. but don’t want to just throw on regular pj’s, this is the piece you need. It’ll allow you to get in the holiday spirit without feeling blah.

The best part about a romper is you don’t have to worry about matching tops and bottoms. Make sure you pick one that is made out of a jersey or lightweight cotton so you’re able to move comfortably whether your cooking dinner or watching a movie.

If you hate being cold when your house, just throw on an open knit cardigan that won’t cover up that cute print that had you buy the romper in the first place.

A red heart sweater and distressed denim shorts are honestly the cutest. You’re basically showing holiday spirit but keeping it casual and comfy.

This outfit is great if you’re wanting to go out for a cute brunch with friends or want to show your Valentine’s spirit without dressing up. The heart sweater does all the talking for you, so just pair with some cute distressed shorts and you’re ready to go.

If you live somewhere chilly, pick up a pair of opaque tights to wear underneath. They will keep you warm without looking strange. Booties would also be great for keeping that casual vibe going.

You can find these heart sweaters almost anywhere starting February but don’t sleep on thrift shopping! They usually have the cutest vintage ones that no one else will have – making your outfit 10x cooler. Plus they’re usually cheaper than retail.

You’ll look cute and holiday-ish but still be so comfortable. Velour is such a soft fabric and will keep you warm because lets face it February is chilly.

Add on some heart socks for a fun detail that aren’t too overboard. They’re such a cute detail that show you put in some effort. As for jewelry, grab your favorite gold hoops or a delicate necklace. It will make your whole outfit look more chic rather than lazy.

One thing to keep in mind with velour – it can get super hot! If you know you run hot, opt for a lounge set that either has a zipper or buttons down the front. That way if your getting too hot you can easily adjust without removing the whole top.

Valentine’s doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice being comfortable. Stay cute by throwing on a silky pajama set. It’s the best when your wanting to look nice but not have to deal with a full on outfit, especially if your just ordering chinese and watching netflix all night.

Silk feels so nice and somewhat fancy against your skin, but the loose fit allows you to move around with ease. Not to mention, no one likes digging through there bra if your just laying around your living room. If you’d like to spice up your night look, add on a simple black bodysuit under your pj set. It will help you stay covered and still feel adorable.

When shopping for your pj set, try to stick with dusty rose and deep burgundy shades. They are super romantic and flatter every skin tone. Plus, they scream Valentine’s day without being too obvious.

Cream Pearl-Embellished Heart Sweater with Matching Knit Trousers

This cream heart sweater is so cozy, it literally feels like you’re being hugged. And don’t even get me started on the pearl details. They’re adorable but not over done – yes perfect for Valentines Day and still not trying too hard.

Pairing your cream sweater with the matching pants will have everyone thinking your life is together, even if your only plans are watching Netflix or grabbing coffee with your friends. And those velvet pumps?!?! They’re honestly my favorite part because comfort should always be your priority.

Pro tip: if you notice your pearls start to look dull, simply wipe them down with a microfiber cloth and a mixture of mild soap and water. You’ll have them shining like new in no time.

Cream Graphic Lucky in Love Sweatshirt with Leopard-Print Side-Stripe Pants

Ok so for a low key Valentine’s Day where you still want to look cute but be comfy, grab your favorite graphic sweatshirt and pair it with those leopard joggers you’ve been hiding in the back of your closet. The sweatshirt will keep you warm and cozy but the leopard detail screams “I tried!” 😉

If your sweatshirt is super baggy, try tucking the front into your pants. It will make you appear more stylish but you’ll still be comfortable.

Pro tip – if you’re nervous about wearing all out animal prints, go for ones that have more neutral colors like tan and grey. They’re so much easier to style and can literally go with anything. Trust me leopard isn’t as scary to wear as people make it out to be.

Cream Heart-Pattern Knit Sweater with Light Wash Blue Jeans

Visualize yourself in this cream sweater with hearts on it – perfect for Valentine’s Day but not over killing it. Throw on your favorite light-wash jeans and you’re good to go whether your planing on meeting your S.O. for lunch or just want to throw on something cute without trying to hard. Oh and those cream slippers are my favorite for staying in, especially if your and your sweetie are planning on a night of takeout and netflix or even aFaceTime date.

If hearts are too much for you, try finding sweaters that have the pattern on the sleeves or collar. A lot of boutiques will start marking down there seasonal clothes the week of Valentine’s so that is honestly the best time to shop for all your cozy clothing items without breaking the bank.

Multi-Colored Heart Pattern Turtleneck Sweater with a Tan Tiered Tulle Maxi Skirt

Let’s switch it up and throw on a heart-pattern sweater with a cute tulle skirt. It’s the perfect combination of cozy but fun.

The sweater will keep you warm when your eating dinner at a restaurant and the tulle skirt really helps spruce up the look. If your job allows you to dress up, you can even wear this to work. It’s perfect for your work day and night out after.

If your not a big dress up person, find a neutral colored sweater with small hearts. And remember, if your cold (which you probably will be because Valentine’s is in February) throw on some funky tights or leggings underneath. Problem solved. 

You can start finding these adorable heart sweaters at most stores starting in January so you have time to find the perfect one. Tulle skirts are pretty easy to come by any time of the year. Look for pink or deep red ones, they work best.

Oversized White Puff-Sleeve Sweatshirt with Red Heart Decals and Denim Jeans

This outfit is great for a low-key Valentine’s Day where you maybe going to go grab coffee or the movie with friends. Your going to stay warm during this unpredictable February weather but still look so cute and put together.

The red hearts are festive but not overdoing it. And jeans go with everything. They’re so easy to wear and you most likely have a favorite pair just sitting in your closet.

Want to spice up your night? Add a pair of white sneakers and small hoop earrings. But if your gonna be spending the night in front of the TV, fuzzy socks and a messy bun are you’re best friends. I love this look because it works for any occasion your in on Valentine’s Day and you won’t feel over dressed.

Fuchsia Pink Strapless Sequin Mini Dress

Sequins are honestly so fun for Valentines Day hanging at home. They’ll make your night feel extra but you’re just laying on the couch watching movies or eating pizza.

Sequins look so pretty in candle light, making it perfect for a romantic dinner at home. You don’t need to go all out either – maybe a sequin top or skirt.

My biggest tip when wearing sequins is to pair them with comfortable clothing. Slip on a pair of soft leggings or wear a plain cotton t-shirt under your sequin jacket. You’ll feel dressed up but still relaxed and comfortable.

Make sure when your shopping for your sequin clothing that they don’t have any scratchy parts on the inside. A lot of sequin garments have a cotton layer on the inside to help with that. Always check for that before buying because I know nothing is more annoying then cold sticky denim rubbing your thighs all night.

You don’t need to buy a full outfit of sequin to make it work. Maybe a pair of shoes or handbag. Too much shine will make you feel not so comfortable all night so pick one or two pieces and keep the rest of your outfit simple.

White Heart-Print Crew-Neck Sweater with Wide-Leg Denim Jeans

Keep the look simple with a heart-print sweater and pair it with some wide-leg jeans. The sweater keeps it cute and Valentines-y but the jeans will allow you to walk around comfortably if your plans include.

Don’t forget the bow in your hair! It takes your whole outfit to the next level. Get cute ones that either clip in or are made out of velvet.

You can literally wear all of these pieces after Valentine’s too, so you’re not wasting money. The jeans and sweater work great for daytime coffee dates and night time events after.

Red Cable-Knit Crew-Neck Sweater with Red Gingham Shorts

Whoever decided that sweaters and gingham weren’t meant to be together was sorely mistaken. Together they create this perfect cozy-but-cute V-day outfit. It’s perfect for your casual Valentine’s Day dinner when you want to look dressed up, but not like you killed yourself getting ready.

The sweater provides ample warmth, while the shorts add some fun without being TOO crazy.

Opt for this look with bare legs if it’s common where you live. If not, or if February is still cold where you live (like it is here in Chicago), just wear tights underneath!

Pro-tip: both of these pieces are incredibly functional on their own. Throw on those sweater with a pair of jeans next week. When it warms up enough to where shorts are a option, you’ll be wishing you threw these cute little gingham shorts in your closet too.

Pink and Black Checkered Oversized Knit Sweater Dress

Need a Valentine’s Day outfit that will allow you to festive-ify without feeling like you’re wearing a hot-as outfit? Enter this adorable pink and black checkered oversized knit sweater dress.

It’s casual enough that you don’t feel over-done, but the pattern adds some flair you might be missing with a basic sweater dress.

The fabric of this sweater is also fantastic. Since February can throw us crazy weather (cold one day, 60 degrees the next) it’s smart to invest in a shirt that can go either way. Throw on a pair of black boots and you’re good to go for your Valentine’s Day dinner date…or even to work if you plan on celebrating AFTER work.

Bonus: Buy this sweater dress one size larger than you normally would. Trust me. The oversized look keeps it more casual, and you can always layer a thin turtleneck underneath when it gets chilly. I learned this one the hard way, believe me.

Pro-tip: the great thing about this dress is you can switch up your footwear and it completely changes the vibe. If you know you’ll be walking around more than sitting at a dinner date, switch out the boots for sneakers. Same dress, new outfit.

Imagine waking up Valentine’s day and deciding to wear something that is cozy, but also has people thinking “wow I wish I dressed as cute” when you walk into the restaurant. That would be you wearing this white cashmere sweater in blush.

It’s soft, it’s cozy, and you can dress it up with dark jeans so you’re not screaming Valentine’s Day with your outfit choice.

Throw on a pair of heart shaped earrings, or maybe a subtle heart necklace. You want some festival, but you don’t want to over do it. Remember, you’re going for cool and chic, not trying to resemble a Valentine’s Day card.

Not only will this outfit make a statement and say you care about Valentine’s Day, but it won’t have you over doing it. Best of all, you’ll be comfortable and actually enjoy yourself, because lets face it that’s the most important part.

Pink Mock-Neck Long-Sleeve Sweater with a Plaid Tweed Mini Skirt

This. Outfit. Is. EVERYTHING. I mean it’s literally the perfect balance of cute for Valentine’s Day, but also not freezing your butt off.

Just pair a soft pink mock-neck sweater with a plaid tweed mini skirt. It’s adorable and festive, but also very functional. Heck, February is usually chilly here in Michigan so you’re bound to need a pretty thick sweater anyways.

Throw on a cute beanie to match and you’ve got yourself a full look. Pro tip: as an added bonus, this keeps your head warm if you’re going anywhere outside.

Quick tip: if you’re like me and your legs tend to get cold VERY easily, simply layer on some thermal tights underneath your skirt. They’ll help keep you warm without making your outfit look bulky.

Pro-tip: these pieces will be AMAZING after Valentine’s Day too. That pink sweater will go with literally everything, but especially with your favorite jeans on weekend days. Sneak these pieces into your closet for double the usage out of your clothes.
