Valentine’s Day Accessories to Fall in Love With
Valentine’s Day is more than just a date on the calendar for grand romantic gestures. For modern families, busy professionals, and style enthusiasts alike, it is a moment to celebrate connection, joy, and a little bit of self-love. While chocolates and flowers are classic staples, there is something uniquely special about updating your look with festive touches that last longer than a bouquet. Whether you are planning a romantic dinner, organizing a fun "Galentine’s" brunch with friends, or simply looking for a cozy night in with the kids, the right accessories set the tone.
Refreshing your wardrobe for the season doesn't require a complete overhaul. Often, a pop of pink, a shimmer of gold, or a heart-shaped accent is all it takes to transform an everyday outfit into a celebration. From playful hair clips to statement purses and the coziest slippers, Valentine’s Day accessories offer an accessible way to embrace the holiday spirit, and also make for a great Valentine's Day gift. At Kohl’s, we believe that style should be fun, easy, and affordable, allowing you to express your love for the season without compromising your budget.
Valentine’s Day Purses: Carry the Love
Your handbag is often the most hardworking item in your wardrobe, but it can also be the most expressive. Swapping out your standard black or brown tote for a Valentine’s Day purse is one of the quickest ways to transition your look from winter neutral to holiday festive. This season is all about embracing bold hues, playful shapes, and textures that feel special to the touch.
Making a Statement with Color and Shape
If you tend to wear neutral colors like denim, grey, or cream, a vibrant red or soft blush pink handbag acts as the perfect focal point. A structured crossbody bag in cherry red adds immediate confidence to a simple jeans-and-sweater combination. For those who prefer a softer aesthetic, pastel pinks and rose gold tones offer a romantic vibe that transitions seamlessly into spring.
Beyond color, consider the silhouette. Heart-shaped bags are having a major fashion moment. These whimsical accessories are conversation starters and add a youthful, playful element to any ensemble. However, if a literal heart shape feels too bold for your daily routine, look for subtle details like heart-shaped hardware, bag charms, or quilted patterns that evoke the season without shouting it.
Texture and Versatility
When choosing a bag for Valentine's festivities, texture plays a crucial role in elevating the look. Velvet handbags, for example, bring a sense of warmth and luxury that fits the winter season perfectly. Faux leather with a high-shine finish can add a bit of glamour to an evening date.
For the practical shopper, versatility is key. Look for bags with convertible straps—styles that can transform from a practical crossbody for daytime errands into a chic clutch for dinner. This ensures your purchase isn't just for a single day but becomes a valued part of your rotation. A roomy tote with a festive scarf tied around the handle is another excellent way for busy parents to participate in the holiday spirit while still carrying all the daily essentials.
Head-to-Toe Romance: Valentine’s Day Hair Accessories
Hair accessories are the unsung heroes of holiday styling. They are affordable, versatile, and capable of completely changing a hairstyle in seconds. Valentine’s Day hair accessories are particularly delightful because they allow for a range of expression, from elegant and understated to loud and fun.
The Return of the Bow
Bows have made a massive resurgence in fashion, and they are perfect for Valentine’s Day. An oversized velvet bow in deep burgundy or classic black attached to a ponytail instantly makes a look feel polished and intentional. For a sweeter, more romantic approach, look for satin ribbons in soft pink or cream. This trend works for all ages, making it a sophisticated choice for adults and an adorable option for children.
Sparkle and Shine with Clips
If bows aren't your style, consider the variety of decorative clips and barrettes available. Rhinestone-encrusted "LOVE" or "XOXO" pins add a literal message of affection to your look. Gold or silver geometric heart clips offer a modern, minimalist take on the theme. Claw clips, a staple for their convenience, get a seasonal upgrade with matte finishes in shades of berry, mauve, and coral. These are perfect for throwing your hair up quickly while still looking put-together for a casual coffee date or a school drop-off.
Cozy Up: Valentine’s Day Slippers for Night In
For many, the ideal Valentine’s Day doesn't involve a crowded restaurant but rather the comfort of home. Whether you are hosting a movie marathon, enjoying a quiet evening, or having a family game night, footwear plays a major role in your relaxation. Valentine’s Day slippers have become a category all their own, blending supreme comfort with festive designs.
The Gift of Comfort
Slippers are consistently one of the most popular gift items because they signal permission to relax. When shopping for Valentine’s Day slippers, prioritize materials that offer warmth and softness. Plush faux fur linings, memory foam insoles, and soft velour uppers turn a simple slipper into a spa-like experience.
Finishing Touches: Jewelry and Accents
Sometimes, the most powerful style statements are the quietest. If your personal style leans toward the subtle, jewelry is the perfect avenue for Valentine's expression. You don't need to wear head-to-toe red to participate in the holiday; a simple pair of gold-tone heart studs or a delicate chain necklace with a love-knot pendant speaks volumes.
Layering and stacking
Current trends favor layered looks. Try stacking a few thin bracelets—perhaps mixing metals or incorporating a pop of red enamel—to add interest to your wrist. Necklaces with initial charms (representing your partner, children, or yourself) add a personalized, sentimental touch that feels right for a holiday centered on love.
Functional Fashion
Don't forget the practical accessories that keep you warm. Scarves, beanies, and gloves in Valentine’s inspired hues serve a dual purpose. A cream-colored beanie with a subtle red heart patch or a soft pink scarf can brighten up a drab winter coat or enhance a Valentine's Day dress or shirt, and make you smile every time you bundle up to head out the door.
Celebrating Your Way
Ultimately, Valentine’s Day is about what brings you joy. It is an opportunity to pause, appreciate the people in your life, and perhaps show yourself a little kindness, too. Whether that looks like rocking a bold red handbag for a night out, coordinating headbands with your daughter, or slipping into the softest plush footwear for a night on the couch, Kohl’s is here to help you find the perfect pieces.
By focusing on accessories, you allow yourself the flexibility to celebrate the season in a way that fits your lifestyle. These items offer a "refresh" button for your wardrobe, injecting color and optimism into the final stretch of winter. So, go ahead and embrace the hearts, the pinks, and the sparkles. Find the things that make you feel confident, comfortable, and loved—because that is the best look of all.
