What to wear if you’re keeping it low-key this Valentine’s Day.
Let’s say a big fancy dinner or drinks on the town isn’t your VDay thing. Maybe you’re looking to rock a casual Valentine’s Day outfit but still want to amp it up just a bit. A little shine, a little interest, but still something that goes anywhere. Consider the following outfit: velvet leggings, a black satin bomber jacket, and calf hair high-top sneakers. Lux elements like the velvet + satin combo and an in-your-face statement necklace take the look above your average look, but the bomber-style jacket and sneakers keep everything cool. Love the idea of a velvet legging– if that doesn’t personify athleisure, I don’t know what does.
Shop the look:
I’ll probably do something very similar to this look for Valentine’s; my boyfriend and I are continuing last year’s tradition of a not-so-sappy VDay. Last year it was sushi and Deadpool; this year it’s sushi and John Wick Chapter 2. (Ha.) What can I say? I’m a sucker for action flicks, and I never say no to sushi.

We don t celebrate VDay here in the Netherlands that much. Great jacket is that!
It’s a solid bomber jacket, right? I love it!
Sushi and a movie sounds like the perfect way to celebrate VDay! This is such a cute look! I love those sneakers!

Doesn’t it sound nice? Like, I want to celebrate, but not go TOO crazy. Plus- sushi and a movie date = FUN. 🙂
I’m definitely going casual this year, and this is great outfit inspiration. The quilting detail on that jacket is fabulous!

Haha, right? Give me a good action flick any day!
I really need to get a pair of velvet leggings into my closet – definitely high on my list because they really can take you anywhere.

Right? Dress ’em up or down! 🙂
Cutie velvet Babycakes right there! What a darling outfit and I love the shoes!
Thanks, lady- aren’t these shoes cute?
These sneakers are fabulous! I will probably be super casual on V Day and just dress up on the weekend when we go out for dinner. ; )
I love a fun sneaker, too! 🙂
Cozy chic is definitely the way to go, loving that jacket! <3

I’m pretty sure my Valentine’s day will be similarly chill, especially since it’s on a school night this year. LOVE how your Portofino shirt looks with that bomber jacket and that amazing necklace!

Say what??!! Velvet leggings – so amazing!! I totally am all about a casual valentine’s day and this outfit nails it! Loving all the velvet in this outfit!
http://www.rdsobsessions.com
Yesss- I’m always down for keeping it casual!
Sushi and a movie are some of the best thing to do and I’m a huge fan of action flicks too. Hubby and I stopped heading out for VDay’s dinner, it’s just ridiculously overpriced and the restaurant usually crammed as much tables as possible to the point you could bend over and taste the next table’s dinner….
Shireen | Reflection of Sanity
I hear you, lady! Sometimes the fuss just isn’t worth it- and a good movie slays any day!
Love this Valentines Day casual look! Loving the sneakers and the statement necklace paired with the bomber jacket! Totally digging this!

Love this idea of a low-key Valentine’s day look, Ashley!
Thanks, lady!
Great fashion idea for Vday if one is heading more casual. Love love love the shoes and the contrast of the necklace and the jacket! So good though! Xx

Thank you!
Ohmygosh, velvet leggings? How fabulous! I swear, you make athleisure look so high couture! :]
Aw, thanks lady! It’s really because I’m all about comfort these days, ha!
Low key VDay plans are always better. You look super cute!
Thanks so much, Bri!
My boyfriend and I don’t tend to do too much for Valentine’s Day and your plan of good food and a movie sounds perfect. I love this outfit and I need to get some velvet leggings! I haven’t thought to give them a try before but I really like this look 🙂 x
We don’t make a huge deal out of VDay, either- just an excuse to go grab yummy sushi and see an action flick! 🙂
Loving this look!

I can’t stop looking at your shoes. Even though I’m not a trainers kind of person, these casual shoes are so pretty.

They’re fun, right? The calf hair + burgundy really make them pop!
I have some velvet pants I adore, but those leggings are even better! You look fabulous! Love the slip ons too!

Those shades. That jacket… That necklace! I am not sure what I love the most!
Accessories for the win! 🙂
This is my desired style, cute and sporty with a splash of sexy. I need those velvet leggings, and your thighs make me want to double up on my squat routine :). I need a satin bomber. Ok, I just realized I need this entire outfit. It’s time for some online shopping
Aww, thanks lady! You’re so sweet! Now get to shoppin’!
Those shoes tho *heart eye emoji* <3 Another great look, Ash!
