What to Wear on Valentine’s Day If You Don’t Like Red

Valentine’s Day fashion is often dominated by bold reds, but if that shade isn’t your style, you’re not alone. There are many stylish and classy options that will make you feel just as special whether you're going out for a romantic dinner, a Galentine's night, or just to treat yourself.

Inspired by Goddiva's Valentine's Day collection, this guide looks at Valentine's Day outfits that not include red but still feel romantic. The colours range from classic black to soft neutrals and glitzy jewel tones.
