What to Wear This Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day plans or not, the outfit still matters. Whether it’s a candlelit dinner, a last-minute drinks date, or a girls’ night that turns into something more, this is your excuse to dress like the main character.
The Max Valentine’s Edit is filled with pieces made for date nights, late nights, and “I just threw this on” moments that absolutely required planning.
Think:
- Flowy dresses that move when you do
- Soft, romantic tops perfect for dinner dates
- Elevated staples that work long after February 14th
If you’ve been searching for Valentine’s Day outfits in NZ or the perfect date night dress, this is your sign.
Romantic Looks That Don’t Feel Overdone.
Valentine’s style doesn’t have to mean head-to-toe red (unless that’s your thing). This year, it’s about effortless, feminine pieces you’ll actually wear again.
Our favourite Valentine’s Day outfit ideas include:
- A slip dress with barely-there heels
- A statement top with tailored trousers
- A soft blouse and denim for a low-key date
These are the kinds of looks that say “effortless” — even if you tried on five options first.
