Valentine’s Day Style Guide: Effortless Accessories for Date Night, Girls’ Night & Everyday Love
Valentine’s Day style doesn’t have to be over-the-top to feel special. Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, a Galentine’s get-together, or just want to add a little love to your everyday outfits, accessories are the easiest way to make the moment feel intentional.
At Ellison+Young, we believe Valentine’s style should feel wearable, giftable, and fun—pieces you’ll love long after February 14th. Here’s how to style jewelry, hair accessories, bags, and thoughtful lifestyle gifts for every kind of Valentine’s plan.
1) Romantic Date Night: Soft Shine & Thoughtful Details
For dinner dates or special evenings, the key is balance. Let your outfit stay simple and allow your accessories to do the talking.
Accessories that set the mood
- A meaningful necklace from the Initials Collection for a personal touch
- Sparkly or heart-accented styles from the Necklaces Collection
- Statement or drop styles from the Earrings Collection
Style tip: A monochrome outfit—black, blush, cream, or red—paired with romantic jewelry creates an elevated look without feeling try-hard.
2) Galentine’s Night: Fun, Flirty & Photo-Ready
Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating friendship, laughter, and a little sparkle. This is the perfect time to lean into playful accessories.
Accessories we love for girls’ night
- Bold hoops and statement earrings from the Hoop Bar
- Hair accessories that pop from Hair Accessories
- A cute crossbody or mini tote from Bags & Totes
Style tip: Choose one bold accessory—statement earrings or a standout headband—and keep the rest of your look relaxed. It photographs beautifully and feels effortless.
3) Valentine’s Day at Work: Subtle, Polished & Wearable
If you’re heading to the office on Valentine’s Day, small details can make your outfit feel festive without crossing into “too much.”
Work-friendly Valentine’s accessories
- Minimal heart or charm necklaces from the Necklaces Collection
- Classic studs and small hoops from the Earrings Collection
- A sleek headband from the Headbands Collection
Style tip: Think soft pinks, neutral tones, or subtle gold accents for a polished Valentine’s nod that still feels professional.
4) Valentine’s Gifts They’ll Actually Use
The best Valentine’s gifts are thoughtful, beautiful, and easy to wear or use every day. Accessories check all the boxes.
Giftable favorites
- Personalized jewelry from the Initials Collection
- Statement earrings or necklaces from the Jewelry Collection
- Thoughtful lifestyle finds from Gift Essentials
These pieces are perfect for partners, best friends, sisters, or even a little self-love moment.
5) Everyday Love: Valentine’s Style You’ll Wear All Year
Valentine’s Day accessories don’t have to be saved for one day. The best pieces transition seamlessly into everyday outfits long after the holiday.
- Layerable necklaces you can mix and match year-round
- Hair accessories that elevate casual outfits
- Bags and lifestyle pieces that add personality to daily routines
When you choose versatile accessories, Valentine’s style becomes part of your everyday look—not a once-a-year moment.
