It’s February, which means a month of appreciation and Valentine’s moments. With Valentine’s Day approaching, many of us are planning romantic dinners or special occasions that call for a little extra dressing up. At Gabor, we see this season for what it truly is: a welcome boost of joy during the grey winter months.
From heart-filled accessories in shop windows to Valentine’s cards lining the shelves, it’s hard to escape the reds and pinks that signal the season. Whether you’re celebrating with a romantic partner, planning a Galentine’s evening, or simply embracing the month, your Valentine’s outfit, whatever the occasion, is very much on our radar.
You might be opting for something more low-key: a cinema date, a casual dinner, or a coffee catch-up with friends. Perhaps you’re heading out for a romantic walk and want to feel a little more elevated while staying comfortable or nipping to a friend’s house for wine and nibbles. Whatever your plans, we’ve put together four looks for this Valentine’s season, because however you’re spending it, do it with Gabor.
Scroll down to fall in love this season.
The West
If your ideal Valentine’s Day leans more relaxed, like a trip to the cinema, a casual dinner or a solo outing, the West trainer is the perfect companion, ideal for occasions where you want to feel put together without overthinking it.
With its retro-inspired design, side stripes and low-profile, the West pairs effortlessly with jeans or trousers. Its ankle-framing shape enhances your look without overpowering it. The lion/white suede colourway feels particularly luxurious, combining smooth suede with leather detailing on the stripes, tongue and ankle. The thermoplastic rubber sole blends seamlessly into the upper, creating a clean, rounded finish, while leather lining and brown laces complete the classic trainer appeal.
To style, we’ve chosen light blue washed jeans and a white t-shirt, simple wardrobe staples. Leaning into the brown tones of the trainer, we’ve added a brown bomber jacket to complete the look with a modern touch. The West is the go-to for a casual yet considered look!
The Dulford
There’s something special about getting dressed up for dinner with the girls. When you want something feminine but still comfortable enough for a long evening, the Dulford ballet pump is the perfect choice.
Designed with a delicate bow detail and classic ballet style silhouette, Dulford feels made for Galentine’s plans. It works just as well with elevated outfits as it does with jeans and a tee. Available in four colourways, the oak raffia/puder option feels especially fitting this Valentine’s Day. The synthetic upper combines glossy elements with a woven-look texture, making it eye-catching while remaining easy to wear.
The closed-toe design adds warmth and practicality, while the 2cm heel, finished with a subtle wood-effect, ties in perfectly with the woven upper. Pair with a cream formal dress and layer with a light cardigan to soften the look. For accessories, pair gold statement jewellery to play with the metallic elements in the Dulford for an intentional look.
The Baby
For those days when plans are fluid, but you still want to look polished, the Baby loafer offers the perfect balance. Whether it’s a daytime coffee or a spontaneous evening gathering, this style brings contemporary edge with effortless wearability.
A chunky 3cm sole and metallic-effect leather upper give the Baby a chic edge to their classic loafer silhouette. Blush and beige details soften the look, while the buckle adds a refined finish. The slip-on design and supportive TR sole make it ideal for days that shift from one plan to the next.
We’ve paired the Baby with a pale pink oversized knit and a deep navy satin skirt, a combination that feels fresh as we move toward spring. Keep accessories refined with gold jewellery or echo the navy with a simple claw clip, as we have.
The Lindy
Let the Lindy become your ‘sole mate’ this season. For romantic dinners and evenings that call for something elevated, this kitten heel is a chic, reliable choice.
Featuring a suede leopard-print upper, Lindy taps into a trend that continues to dominate. The classic court meets slingback silhouette feels inherently sophisticated, while the adjustable buckle ensures a secure fit, ideal for long evenings out.
We’ve styled Lindy with a floaty brown long-sleeved dress, letting the sleek heel contrast with the soft silhouette. Brown continues to trend this season and complements leopard print beautifully. Finish the look with a black jacket for February layering and keep accessories minimal to let the shoe stand out.
