When the kids were little, I would decorate (just a bit) for Valentine’s Day. I added heart wreaths to the door, runners on our table and used the V-day plastic plates. Classy, I know. As they got older, I realized that decorating for small holidays just isn’t me. I am a minimalist at heart, and adding more stuff to my home feels like clutter.
But, I am not entirely a holiday scrooge. As I mentioned before, even though Valentine’s Day is accused of being a Hallmark holiday, I love to take the day to tell my people how much I love them. We all like hearing we are unique, and someone thinks we are amazing. Am I right? So why not V-day? Think of it as a yearly cell phone alarm to pause and tell your friends and family that you love them.
I also like a good Valentine’s top. Unlike the Christmas sweater, which no matter how you wear, it looks kitschy, a V-day sweater is cool. Maybe not all of them, but let me show you a few that can work seamlessly into your wardrobe any day of the year but happen to be perfect for Valentine’s Day.
I am a massive fan of Sundry clothing. Their clothes feel like pajamas but with a modern casual design. They make coastal casual clothes with super-soft fabrics and a focus on color. I have several pairs of slim sweatpants that I wear around the house all the time. I also love their graphic sweaters, and they have several perfect for Valentine’s Day.

My Favorite Valentine Sundry Sweaters
1.Sundry Amour Crew Neck
Blue feels so fresh for 2020, and this sweater Amour Sweater is perfect for a subtle nod to the Valentine holiday. The sweater is light-weight wool & cashmere and would work perfectly in the summer with white jeans. All of these sweaters have a lovely drape and feel like a tee. They can be worn with jeans but also under a suit for work. You add them over your favorite slip dress or wear them with your favorite midi-skirt. Because they aren’t bulky, the possibilities are endless. For cold climates, add your favorite turtleneck underneath or top with your favorite coat.
2.Sundry Rainbow Love Sweater
This sweater is on sale at Bloomingdale’s right now. My child of the 70’s spirit loves rainbow anything, including this Rainbow Love Sweater. Do you see a pattern yet? Dressing in the Valentine’s spirit doesn’t require lots of red, teddy bears or hearts…
Sweater / Jeans / Sneakers (pink not available now)
3. Sundry Heart Sweater
You definitely can get away with a single heart on your sweater and still not look like you shopped at Gymboree. This Sundry Sweater is a Bloomingdale’s exclusive and is on sale now. It is as close to straight-up Valentinesy that I am willing to go, but I kind of love it. I know valentinesy isn’t a word, but I think it should be, don’t you? The grey balances the sweetness of the heart.
