Because Galentine’s Day > Valentine’s Day.

Depending on how you feel about Valentine’s Day, February 14 is either the most romantic day of the year or the absolute cheesiest. But ya know what takes place on February 13? Galentine’s Day, and I think we can all agree that it’s the best. A day dedicated to spending time with your besties and spoiling them with cute gifts, this holiday is less about serious romance and more about fun friendship, ya know? And whether you decide to host a cozy V-Day party for your friends at your home or plan a night out with the gals, you’re gonna need something to wear, obvi.

Galentine’s Day outfit ideas can be as low-key or as dressy as your friend group decides—but you can never go wrong with keeping it light, bright, and fun. A fancy Valentine’s Day dinner date is a totally different vibe than a Galentine’s Day party, so you’ll want your outfit to reflect that. Bring out the hot pink, fuchsia, Y2K fashion, and heart shapes, and get ready to take alllll the group photos. Scroll below for 20 great outfit ideas your BFF will def approve of (and start thinking about that on-theme quote for your IG caption).

Valentine’s Day might be more about the classic colors, but for Galentine’s Day, you can play around with the color palette and add in a little orange, purple, or whatever you want.

If you prefer classic shapes, stick with what you know and like but try switching up the color with something that feels a little more Galentine’s, like this color-block dress with shades of pink and orange.

This long-sleeve cropped, collared shirt and these terry-cloth pants with slits in the front are both cute on their own, but together? It’s a whole look.

A plain pink dress? Valentine’s Day. A pink dress with pink feather trim? Galentine’s Day. See the difference?!

The mix of hard and soft with the chunky boots and babydoll dress is always such a good look. Try it in a classic red-and-black combo for Galentine’s Day.

Dress it up with heels, dress it down with slippers, wear the whole set, mix and match—this sweet satin set is way more versatile than you think.

The only thing that could make this bright-pink fuzzy sweater even more fun (and perfect for Galentine’s Day) is pairing it with shorts and strappy orange heels.

What’s comfy and warm but still dressy and fits the theme? This red, white, and pink sweater dress, that’s what.

When you don’t want to roll up to the Galentine’s Day house party in your actual PJs, wear a dressed-up version instead, like this checkered set with feather details.

Part button-down shirt, part jacket, this pink layering piece is really all you need to give your everyday look a Galentine’s Day twist.

If you’ve been invited to a Galentine’s Day house party and you don’t know the dress code, go with this maxi dress. Made from stretchy loungewear fabric but cut like a formal gown, this slip could work for any occasion.

You could wear this backless silk statement top with pants, but something about pairing it with matching shorts makes it way more fun.

A fun spin on V-Day lingerie, this crochet triangle top and matching skirt with colorful hearts is the quintessential Galentine’s outfit.

When I think of February 14, I think of boring LBDs, but when I think of February 13, I think of this metallic magenta jumpsuit with matching heels.

As if this magenta dress wasn’t fun enough, it’s got a metal chain halter that crosses in the back.

Did someone say Y2K?! The color, the style, the fit—everything about this outfit feels like early 2000s and is perfect for a themed Galentine’s Day party.

Can this three-piece satin sleep set please be mine? (Yup, that was a Valentine’s Day pun.)

Although the silhouette is simple, this slinky satin dress is far from boring, thanks to the fun color. Try it in this lilac shade, or choose from one of the many other color options.

A cooler take on a classic V-Day color, this orangey-red dress was basically made for Galentine’s Day.

Did you think we wouldn’t throw a heart in somewhere?! Lean into the cheesiness of V-Day with this heart-patterned tank that you can wear with jeans, a skirt, or even sweats if you want.
