First up? The best #OOTD for *every* V-Day sitch. Read on for heart-worthy style inspo from some of the raddest girls we know…

 If you're headed out on a date:

Name: Emily Lebsock
School: The Ohio State University
The Style Guru says... "The best way to dress for a Valentine's date is to wear the pieces that make you feel the most confident. Don't be afraid to mix your favorites together, either; pairing a leather jacket with a feminine dress will have you looking and feeling fab for your hot date."

 If you're hitting the town with your ladies:

Name: Lucy Siyu Liu
School: Hunter College
The Style Guru says... "Hanging out with your girl gang for Valentine's Day?  Get fancy and layer long coats over faux leather pants, and add drama with a faux fur stole. Rock a vampy lip for a darker alternative to reds or pinks."

 If you're up for anything:

Name: Meg Gegler
School: Providence College
The Style Guru says... "Valentine's Day is landing on a Sunday this year, so that's all the more reason to have a blast, love your outfit and love your weekend. Stay in the holiday spirit with some subtle pinks and reds, but keep it casual and versatile for whatever plans may pop up." 

If you're your own crush:

Name: Shelcy Joseph
School: Hunter College
The Style Guru says... "Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love: self-love, romantic love, platonic love, etc. Whatever type you’re celebrating, remember to pamper yourself. Treat this day like a special occasion and go for a look that gives you confidence and communicates your passion for life. Whatever you wear, make sure it captures that sentiment and makes you feel good in your skin."
