Swoon over our Valentine's Day Linen Looks that will help you romanticise your life, every day, not just on the 14th of February. Uncover red wine-coloured blouses, dreamy palazzo pants and linen maxi dresses you'll love to wear even if you're staying at home.
Linen clothing has you covered, however you plan to celebrate (or ignore) Valentine's Day. Whether you feel it's a holiday masterminded by Hallmark. Or you don't have the babysitter for the kids organised yet.
Our date night looks for Valentine's and beyond will help you feel confident and beautiful. These are linen pieces that will wow at a fancy restaurant, but also save you when you don't know what to wear on a normal Monday.
Our Wine Colourway Collection
Any of the pieces from our Wine red colourway are a must for Valentine's Day, from the linen tops to dresses. The colour could be predicting our beverage of choice for the night. And it's also a sophisticated and unique take on the colour of love.
Bright red is too cliché, but a moody burgundy red says you're a free-thinker and ready to forget how much your partner's existence has been irritating you all day.
Axel Tie Top in Wine Colourway
Fall in love with yourself while getting ready with our Axel Wine Top, which will match effortlessly with multiple pieces that are already in your closet. It's for when you've got dinner reservations at the place that's notoriously hard to get into.
Colours that go well with this top? Blush pinks, whites and very soft neutrals. For a refined look, pair it with our Rhea Midi Linen Skirt that's elegantly fitted to the body, and lets everybody know who's the lucky one in your relationship.
The sultry red hue is begging for gold jewellery and accessories. Keep them classic and minimalist if you'd like to look polished. A lace-trimmed skirt will inject romance, as will glossy nude heels.
For some whimsy, choose jewellery pieces that dangle, sway and tinkle as you move. Style them with a boho-style tiered skirt or voluminous palazzo pants. It just feels more romantic, like you live in a forest and little sparrows dress you every morning.
How to style it:
- Slinky silk midi skirt + strappy heels
- White linen pants + sandals
- Millennial pink skirt + flower-inspired jewellery
A flawless outfit is all in the details. Discover our blog on what to wear under linen clothes to make sure that your favourite linen pieces look their best from every angle.
Halvar Dress in Mocha-Taupe Colourway
Our Halvar Mocha-Taupe Dress reminds us of the chocolate mousses or caramel puddings we're hoping to indulge in for V-Day. Yes, it's a celebration of love, and a chance for deep conversations, but really, it's also about the dessert menu.
This linen maxi dress shows off how seductive conservative designs can be. Even if it's quite covered up and understated, the dress is confident and doesn't seek outside validation. So hot. As a bonus, you'll also be wearing it non-stop to the office.
How to style it for date-night:
- Chunky gold hoop earrings + messy updo
- Pointed toe flats + minimalist jewellery
- Matching pearl necklace and drop earrings
The grounded tones of our Halvar Dress are a flawless match for gold and deep reds, oranges and olive greens. So it's the perfect time to bring out your gold jewellery collection (which will hopefully be expanding if Valentine's Day goes well).
You just need to find your shoes, and you'll be ready and out the door with this dress that's almost a whole outfit. We'd recommend dainty sandals and cute mules in neutral tones for a contemporary look. Or patent red heels with a matching handbag to remind your partner what day it is, if they forgot.
Strawberry Mocktail Recipe
Themed drinks make these kinds of days a little more fun, don't you think? Or are we just getting old? For those who want to whip up something quickly at home and enjoy a red-tinged beverage before going out, we'd recommend this Strawberry Mocktail Recipe. It's the right colour, refreshing, and you'll even get a few vitamins.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 5 tablespoons honey
- Juice of a lime
- 1L sparkling water
- Fresh basil & sliced fresh strawberries for garnishing
Instructions
- Blend the cup of fresh strawberries, honey and lime juice until smooth and liquid.
- In a jug, pour the strawberry puree and sparkling water. Mix them together until they're well-combined.
- Add the remaining strawberries and chopped fresh basil.
- Let the mixture cool in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, so that the flavours can infuse.
- When you're ready to serve it, add a few ice cubes to each glass, and then pour the mocktail mixture over. Enjoy!
Axel Tie Dress in White
Your favourite scented candle is lit, and the house is clean. You've had enough time to shower and give yourself a blowout, and now you're about to slip into your date night look, our Axel White Dress, which makes leaving the house after 7pm worth it.
Our white linen dress balances the romantic with the modern, and is a must for dancing. The shorter length begs for statement-making footwear. You can try strappy sandals that elegantly weave up the leg. Or go for floral-embellished mules and get ready to celebrate lovers' day.
The pristine white colourway is the ideal blank canvas to get a little more creative with your accessories. Lean into the Valentine's Day theme, with heart-shaped earrings or flower-inspired bracelets and cuffs. The sleeveless design wants you to dress up your arms.
Galentine's Day Linen Outfit Ideas
Let's be honest, most of the time we're getting dressed for compliments from our girlfriends. Those are the opinions that really matter. And if you've got a relaxing day planned with the girls for Valentine's Day, here are a few linen pants that are extra special and easy to wear.
So crisply cut and precisely proportioned, our Hanne Mocha-Taupe Trousers fit like a glove, and they're good at gossiping too. All you'll need is a pretty top, and you're finished. Maybe something in a floral print or with lace?
Whether you're learning flower arranging or just catching up with friends, our Bruno Wine Palazzo Pants are stunning. Their billowing wide legs provide plenty of drama but are an absolute joy to wear; as close to pyjamas as you'll likely get.
The luscious red colourway transports us to boutique vineyards in Tuscany, where we're tasting the house reds with our closest friends. What happens next, we can't remember, but it must've been fabulous.
How to style them for Galentine's Day:
- Keep the top quite fitted: to balance out the volume of the pants, go for a figure-skimming top, like a slinky camisole or black bodysuit.
- Amp up the bohemian feeling with a feminine ruffled blouse: think exaggerated sleeves that have their own personality. Just keep them away from your soup.
- Make them even more romantic with a soft pink top and beachy waves in your hair.
These linen pants are too good to just be worn for Valentine's Day. If you need some ideas, read our blog on how to wear linen pants for work, and you'll find tricks to make these versatile pants work (pun intended) for the office too.
Conclusion: Valentine's Day Date Night Linen Looks
What to wear for Valentine's Day? Your heart. On a sleeve. And preferably make it linen. Or just choose red-coloured accessories. But either way, if you have classic linen pieces as your foundation, you can then build gorgeous Valentine's looks that will make your date happy to be paying for dinner.
If you're busy pencilling in your eyebrows to perfection, we understand you're low on time and support your priorities. Here's our quick top tips for nailing the Valentine's Date Night Look with linen pieces.
- Our Wine colourway: you'll find linen dresses, pants and linen tops in our intimidatingly sophisticated wine colourway that's made for Valentine's Day. It's an earthy red that matches effortlessly with neutrals (blacks, whites and beiges) and metallic accents in the form of jewellery.
- White Linen Dress: a white linen midi dress means your Valentine's Day will be a success. Ours is in a flowy silhouette that feels more romantic and is also super flattering. You can wear it for birthday parties or client lunches, just switch up the accessories.
- Romantic accessories: this is the day when you can wear roses in your hair or that maximalist floral pendant necklace. Shiny red shoes or purses are obvious choices, but fun, especially if you go for more unexpected reds (lighter or darker).
