Valentine's Day has a tendency to sneak up on us. You keep thinking that you've still got weeks, then, before you know it, it's February 13. While you can make a mad dash to the drugstore or grocery store for some flowers, candy and a card, it's a pretty clear indication to the recipient that you put zero effort into marking the holiday. A superior strategy? Planning ahead by picking up a few Valentine's Day fashion gifts.
But where to begin? Leave that to us. We hunted down the most fashionable presents online. We're talking hyped labels like Bottega Veneta, Khaite and even Alaïa. A little above your pay grade? We also found stylish items from more budget-friendly sources. Think Reformation, Mango and J.Crew.
Naturally, jewelry is a safe bet. A pair of statement earrings will surely impress. Especially when they come courtesy of Bottega Veneta. Want to give a ring, but not the engagement kind? Completedworks' pearl-encrusted creation fits the bill and your budget at only $395.
Footwear is also a great option. You can't go wrong with the now infamous Alaïa embellished ballet flats. If the price leaves you feeling a whole lot of sticker shock, take comfort in the fact that your SO will literally have and wear them for a lifetime. Or simply opt for Reformation's classic slingback heels. If your partner is a big fan of bags, Proenza Schouler's sling bag will put a smile on their face.
Valentine's Day is often associated with lace and lingerie, but the latter's not always practical to wear outside the bedroom. So we included a floral lace bodysuit as a racy yet still demure alternative. J.Crew's ruby-colored sweater jacket fulfills the holiday's need for something red. You can also go wild with Reformation's fierce leopard dress. If your SO is on the cusp of trends, they'll appreciate Nili Lotan's high-rise pleated jeans or The Frankie Shop's dramatic faux fur coat.
Don't put off adding these sure-to-please Valentine's Day fashion gifts to your cart. Because it's already January 26 and you'll need a little leeway to make sure your present arrives in time.
