What to Wear on Galentine’s Day: Cute Sweater Idea
Recently, I partnered with my blogging friend, Jo-Lynne Shane, to share some Valentine’s Day outfits that would be wonderful for a night out with your sweetie. Today, we thought we’d tackle another Valentine’s dressing query: What to wear on Galentine’s Day.
What is Galentine’s Day?
When Jo-Lynne suggested this topic to me, my first reaction was, “What the heck is Galentine’s Day?”
I had never heard of it before and had no clue. Well, I found out it’s a fairly new thing—a special celebration of love for your gal pals that takes place the day before Valentine’s Day. You might meet a friend for lunch or get together with a bunch of ladies for a girls’ night out. It’s really up to you. What you wear can range from super casual to fancy party wear or anything in between, depending on the type of get-together you are planning.
For example, my idea of a great Galentine’s Day party would entail being tucked away in a cozy corner of a cute teahouse with a few gals, having a big gabfest and a few laughs!
Since we’d be chatting, laughing, and maybe taking selfies together, I’d wear something cute, feminine, and casual. This playful pink sweater would be perfect. Do you see the words J’Adore (I love you) embroidered on the shoulder? I love the whimsical French vibe.
My light-wash skinny jeans keep the outfit looking soft and pretty.
A pink sweater with jeans is an excellent choice for Galentine’s Day. I posted a gorgeous oversized pink sweater this week that would also work well. Check out this other cute Galentine outfit with a color-block sweater.
And, of course, be sure to drop by Jo-Lynne’s blog to see what she’s cooked up to wear on this special gal-pal day!
As my grandmother always said, Who loves ya, baby! Happy Galentine’s Day, ladies.

Coming to you via 50 is not old, and I enjoyed your blog. I, too, didn’t know what Galentine Day was. Thanks for the explanation. By the way, I loved the pink peonies in your photo.
Hi Johanna, Thanks for dropping by. I hope you have a great Valentine’s and Galentine’s Day!
Hi Deborah! Tania sent me over. I had never heard of Galentine Day, but I love the idea! I think that is exactly what I would wear for a night out with my friends.
