VFH

Valentine’s day lockdown edition aka VFH (Valentines from Home). Think home-cooked meals, zoom dates, virtual Galentines or a date for one on the sofa binge watching romcoms, however you’re spending the 14th Feb, we’ve got you covered on ideas of what to wear.

Stay at home date with bae? You can’t go wrong with the regency-core aesthetic, which is currently surging, largely inspired by the new series Bridgerton. Satins, silks, pastels, puff sleeves, corsets and empire line dresses are trending and are perfect for a glam enough V-day look for even Lady Whistledown to be talking about. Fast fashion brands are currently obsessed with this aesthetic, from tops and dresses to lingerie. Not your vibe? Take out that little black dress or your go-to nice top and jeans and don’t be afraid to swap those fluffy slippers for heels indoors because when else can you wear heels in lockdown three?

Zoom dating this year instead? A nice top and joggers is the new nice top and jeans. Dress up your top half whilst remaining comfy. No one’s going to know if you have matched an unreal top with mismatching pyjamas bottoms you’ve had for years.

If Galentines is on your agenda, whether it be a virtual gals night or you’re lucky enough to live with your besties, matching pyjamas is a must. From sexy silks to comfy cottons, there’s a range of cute V-day inspired pyjamas trending on online shops to keep everyone happy. If you’re extra, etsy even offer personalised pjs, perfect for you and the gals.

Date with yourself this valentine? Treat yourself to a gift from you to you, if new pyjamas, lingerie or loungewear is on your mind and will make you happy, you’ve got to do it. Having a chill one? Get in your comfies, cosy up with some heart shaped chocolates and have a movie marathon. Loungewear is an essential for lockdown, block coloured co-ordinated loungewear will have you feeling comfortable and still in trend, think browns, neutrals and monochrome for this lockdown’s loungewear trends.

However, you’re spending Valentine’s day if you’re dressing up for a date in the kitchen, over zoom, with your flatmates or by yourself, look like a queen and enjoy your first and hopefully last lockdown Valentines day.
