Romancing the Wardrobe

Valentine's Day is a month away, and the panic is setting in. "What do I wear that says 'I made an effort' without screaming 'I am a Hallmark card'?"

Nordstrom's latest edit answers that question with a surprising amount of subtlety.

The Trends

• Slip Dresses: A 90s classic that never fails. Look for champagne or deep berry tones rather than bright red.
• Statement Blazers: Wearing a structured blazer over a lace body suit is sexy but powerful.
• Metallics: Silver and gold are huge this season. A metallic skirt paired with a cozy knit is perfect for a winter dinner date.

The "Galentine" Option

Not dating? The edit also features luxe pajamas and loungewear for the ultimate self-care night in. Because sometimes, the best relationship is the one you have with your couch.
