26 Stylish Winter Items to Gift Yourself For Valentine's Day
26 Reasons to Be Your Own Valentine and Buy Yourself a Chic Fashion Gift
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
When Valentine's Day comes along, I think about ways I'm going to be kind to myself. From self care rituals to baking something sweet, and yes, probably shopping something sweet, too, there are so many ways to celebrate the holiday independently. Everything the POPSUGAR editors are shopping this month falls into that category. These selects aren't just on-trend items we've been spotting on our feeds, but clothing that feels special because it speaks to our at-home wardrobe — and that's where things get personal. I know, you probably feel like you've been suffering in solitude for far too long now, but perhaps when you browse through our shopping list — which runs the gamut and includes sensual jewellery, bright intimates, next-level, textured loungewear, and even furniture that will spruce up the place and boost your mood — you'll remember why you're your own best company. You! The one in the ridiculously chic outfit.
Jenni Kayne Everyday Cardigan
"I've been eyeing this dream Everyday Cardigan from Jenni Kayne ($175) that I can live in for the next few months. It looks so cosy and I love that it has pockets so I can slip in my phone, ear buds, or lip balm at all times." — Lisa Sugar, POPSUGAR editor-in-chief
Tory Sport Sherpa Fleece Snap Pullover
"I live in my Tory Sport leggings and I fell in love with this Tory Sport Sherpa Fleece Snap Pullover ($298) the second I saw it on the brand's website. I typically don't wear red, but it is February so it felt like the perfect time to shop this look." — Nikita Charuza, editor, Fashion
Amalfii South Park Long Sleeve Turtleneck
"February is also Black History Month, so I'm making an effort to shop Black-owned businesses like Amalfii, which provides us with the most eye-catching, unique basics. Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it? But I think you'll agree the South Park Long Sleeve Turtleneck ($52) is worth investing in to layer over your tanks and have some fun with your wardrobe." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion
Hill House The Katherine Nap Dress
"As far as I'm concerned, the nap dress is trending for as long as the pandemic is happening (and I'm consequently still stuck in my apartment). This short version, The Katherine Nap Dress ($75), replete with puff sleeves and a high neck, makes me feel like I'm an extra on Bridgerton in the best way possible." — Claire Stern, contributing editor, Fashion
Mother Denim The Springy Ankle
"By far the most comfortable pants you'll ever try on are these Mother Denim The Springy Ankle ($248). They're somewhere between jeans and a sweatpant. I'll pair them with a ribbed tee and oversize cardigan for the days when I want to get dressed, but have a relaxed fit." — Dana Avidan Cohn, POPSUGAR executive style director
Mansur Gavriel Mini Cloud Clutch
"Don't roll your eyes at me because Mansur Gavriel's Mini Cloud Clutch ($495) comes in the perfect Valentine's Day-friendly shade. IMO, the label's signature Flamma colorway is pretty much a neutral, and fit for any person with a confident, pack-a-punch personality. This splurge is the ultimate V-Day gift to myself." — SW
Sleeper Cream Shearling Slippers
"I'm still not over my cosy phase and anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with anything fluffy. After searching high and low for new house slippers, I couldn't help but fall in love with Sleeper's Cream Shearling pair ($290). They're cosy and chic, so what else is there to ask for?" — Krista Jones, associate editor, Shop
Hanky Panky Signature Lace Set
"I am a big fan of any lingerie that comes in a sexy, feel-good material (think satin or lace) but also takes a somewhat sporty silhouette. The perfect match for me is the new Hanky Panky Signature Lace Camsiole ($52) and Hanky Panky Signature Lace Boyshort ($32) in this brilliant lemon shade." — SW
Notte Key To My Heart Earrings
"These Notte Key To My Heart Earrings ($39) are not only cute, but affordable too. I love the brand so much because of its quirky designs that feel unique and stylish at the same time." — NC
Glassworks London Navy Vegan Leather Blouson Jacket
"One of the best gifts I have given myself in 2021 has been the (slow and steady) transition to veganism. I'd like to make better choices when it comes to my clothing purchases as well. If I'm making healthy choices about what I'm putting in my body, I can extend those smart decisions to my wardrobe. I'm starting with this Glassworks London Navy Vegan Leather Blouson Jacket ($273) — a wear anytime coat that is cosy and versatile enough to justify the price tag." — SW
Holiday the Label Pyjama Pant Set
"This Holiday the Label Pyjama Pant Set in Cream Check ($179) not only looks chic as heck but is so darn cosy. I'm always looking for fresh ways to update my pajama drawer." — NC
& Other Stories Draped Cupro Top
"The fabric of this & Other Stories Draped Cupro Top ($59) puts it on the more sophisticated side, but it can easily be dressed down with some light blue wash denim jeans or up when tucked in a slip skirt or textured leather pants." — Shelcy Joseph, assistant editor, Shop
Senreve Vegan Aria Belt Bag
"I love that this Senreve Aria Belt Bag ($445) is vegan. The colour is absolutely luxe and it's the perfect size to fit all my essentials ranging from my phone to my wallet and keys." — NC
Spiritual Gangster All Things with Love Old School Pullover
"The Spiritual Gangster All Things with Love Old School Pullover ($88) says it all, and I love an outfit that speaks for me. Do all things with love." — LS
Wandler Light Gray Carly Mini Leather Shoulder Bag
"New year, new bag, right? I can't stop dreaming about the Wandler Carly Mini Leather Shoulder Bag ($530). The sleek silhouette, double interior pocket, and cool chain strap ticks every box on my cool new bag wish list. I can already envision myself wearing it with sweaters and dresses for the rest of the year." — KJ
Italic Inner Shearling Lined Slipper
"Let's be real: shoes are optional right now. Because I'm not venturing outside anytime soon, I sprung for these insanely cosy, Ugg-inspired Italic Slippers ($45), specially designed with a shearling lining and an EVA sole to keep feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Did I mention they feel like I'm walking on actual clouds?" — CS
Cosy Earth Long Sleeve Stretch-Knit Bamboo Pajama Set
"I wanted to treat myself to a bamboo PJ set this month. I am in love with Cosy Earth's Long Sleeve Stretch-Knit Bamboo Pajama Set ($135, originally $169) in white because these are the softest PJ sets ever (check out the sheets too, if you are in the market!)" — DAC
Cotton Citizen Lima Crew and Sweats
"In my opinion, one of the best gifts you can give yourself is a zero-think, no-fuss outfit. I feel like the Cotton Citizen Lima Crew ($450) and matching Cotton Citizen Lima Sweats ($495) in oatmeal tint will also look pretty great with a glass of rosé in hand for a Valentine's Day at-home selfie. Coming soon." — SW
Mejuri Chunky Hoops
"For when I need to zhuzh up my look for a Zoom call — these Mejuri Chunky Hoops ($85) do the trick." — CS
Babaton Sculpt Knit Longsleeve
"I'm just about getting ready to retire my sweatshirts and hoodies, but I still have comfort top of mind. The Babaton Sculpt Knit Longsleeve from Aritzia ($98) is both chic and easy to dress up or down, but something I won't be dying to take off at the end of the day. Easy to pair with trousers, jeans, and hey, even sweatpants, it's truly a versatile buy. It comes in three cool shades, and honestly, I probably need them all." — KJ
ByChari Diamond Virgo Necklace
"My birthday, anniversary, and the birth of two of my children were all in the month of August during Virgo season. This delicate ByChari Diamond Virgo Necklace ($450) would make such a romantic Valentine's gift. All zodiac charms come in 14k gold or diamonds." — DAC
Popsockets All the Feels
"I finally upgraded my phone and I have to get a new Popsocket because it truly is an iPhone must. This Popsockets All the Feels ($10) reminds me of The Powerpuff Girls, and I'm all about that." — NC
GiGi Love Sweater in Black
"This Valentine's Day, I wanted something playful and kitschy that would still be cosy. GiGi Knit's Love Sweater ($250) is a perfect choice because its all-over print is sophisticated in black and white." — DAC
Empathy Friends T-Shirt
"I'm investing in this Friends-inspired Empathy T-Shirt ($30) just because." — LS
Willow Checkered Side Table
"I've been redoing my childhood room with stylish new pieces that feel more modern and this Willow Checkered Side Table ($550) feels like a fashion statement on its own. Just look at it! I can already imagine myself taking photos of cute jewellery pieces on it. Willow was started by Gretta Solie and Alex Cutler in the spring of 2020 out of a love and appreciation for tiles and using them in non-conventional ways. The brand sources all of its tiles from a family owned business on the East Coast and makes each piece by hand from start to finish in their studio in Los Angeles." — NC
Madewell Two-Pack Rainbow Flecked Trouser Socks
"Socks may not be the most exciting purchase, but you can't argue that they aren't useful, especially in the dead of winter. This Madewell Ribbed Pair ($20) comes in a handy two-pack, in case you lose one in the laundry. Trust me, your warm toes will thank you." — CS
