It’s that time of year again. Everyone’s favorite—or least favorite—lovey-dovey, extra showy, holiday: Valentine’s Day. Whether you look forward to the romance in the air or dread the public displays of affection, we are here to help you look good and feel good for whatever you have on the calendar this February 14th.  Set the voodoo doll down, grab your gals, and let’s get to shopping for that perfect finishing touch to your Valentine’s Day look. 

Valentine’s Day shopping does not have to be overwhelming. It all comes down to matching the vibe and staying true to you. You can go all out, or you can keep it casual, and whichever one is in the cards for you this year, we have the shoes for you at DSW. Think cozy slippers for a Galentine’s night in, or date night on the couch with a glass of red and your favorite movie. Perhaps the perfect red pump or a tall sleek boot to really make a statement for your date night out on the town. If you’re shopping for the special people in your life, upgrade from Valentine’s Day cards and candy hearts; We have just the thing to help you make your shopping dreams come true. Check out our Valentine’s Day gift guide to see our top picks for everyone on your list— including your little loves.

Now, let’s shift the focus back to you why don’t we. Styling for a romantic date night out on a holiday like this should be something to look forward to and that’s where we come in. Think sparkle, floral, pinks, and reds. Gold, silver, brown, and animal print can all be perfect additions to any dressy outfit. Now that you know you have options, let’s see what the vibe really is. If you are looking for something elevated and feminine, the Betsey Johnson Cosmo pump in white or red, or the Sereen pump by Kelly & Katie is perfect. Add leg warmers and your favorite accessory and you are serving date night. Pair these fabulous pumps with a long dress, a skirt of any length, or your favorite wide leg pants. If you are feeling a little more sophisticated, try a sleek, all-black slingback heel from Kelly & Katie or Jessica Simpson. This is the perfect date night heel to bring a little height to any outfit (as well as an extra boost of confidence). Pair these with denim, miniskirts, or your favorite sweater dress. If you’re feeling extra festive, take it up a notch with bows, sparkles, and more. Check out the styles approved by your besties at DSW below.

If you’re more sneakers and flats than heels, don’t fret—there are plenty of holiday options for you as well, from hot-red sneakers like the adidas VL Court Bold Platform to the Converse Chuck Taylor All Start White Hearts High-Top Sneaker. Pair these sneakers with a satin or flowy skirt, your favorite jeans, or a bold leather blazer and you’re ready to go. Nothing special planned for Valentine’s Day? These sneakers are the perfect pop of color for daily errands and weekly workout classes. Treat yourself! Also a great way to take your outfit from office-approved to date-night ready without an outfit change. Keep the wow factor without any of the foot pain, because let’s be real… it’s hard to be a heels girlie ALL the time. Pair your Valentine’s Day ’fit with some of our faves, like the Reebok Ultra Lo Sneaker or the Converse Double Stack Platform.

For him we have allll his favorite brands, like Timberland, Cole Haan, Florsheim, Birkenstock, and UGG. If you are looking to style him for date night, try a sleek oxford by Florsheim or Dockers, which simply never go out of style and make any outfit feel dinner-date appropriate. Another great option is a leather Chelsea boot for versatility, or a loafer for extra comfort. If your guy is the sneakers-only type (nothing wrong with that), check out the New Balance CT300 v3 Court or the Nike Court Vision— sure to keep his outfit up to par for your special plans. If your plans are less reservation and more staycation, you can’t go wrong with slippers from UGG, Bearpaw, Bombas, and more.
