35 Plus Size Pieces For V-Day Romantics

As we delve into the month of February (seriously, where the hell did January actually go?), Valentine's Day is creeping toward us day by day. Regardless of my relationship status, finding the perfect plus size Valentine's Day outfit is crucial to my surviving this holiday. If I look drop dead gorgeous, who's going to care that I've been single for over a year? Plus, any strong look is destined to make me feel confident, which is a must for this particular day of the year, whether I'm single or not.

Even if you're spending the day eating your way through three pints of Ben And Jerry's while watching Bridget Jones's Diary on repeat — you caught me, those are my plans — there are all kinds of adorable Valentine's-themed pajama sets that will help set the mood. Not everything has to have heart prints on it, not everything has to be totally sexy, and whatever your personal style, there'll be a Valentine's Day look that doesn't make you leave your favorite styles behind in favor of this holiday.

And if not? Just search "red" on your favorite plus size clothing store and go crazy. If you don't have a significant other to spoil you this year, you deserve to spoil yourself with these 35 gems.

1. Jitterbug Suspender Skirt

Jitterbug Suspender Skirt, $88, unique-vintage.com

OK, I lied about the heart print thing. This skirt is super cute and you could totally rock it all the way from Feb. 14 to spring and summer. Plus, if you're planning on getting frisky this Valentine's Day, you could wear it sans top and surprise your partner.

2. Tights With Hearts Over-The-Knee Design

6. Salt & Pepper Dress

Salt And Pepper Dress, $55.99, modcloth.com

It's a cute deviation from the traditional red and pinks that dominate the holiday, but the heart-shaped pockets are a fair justification for your purchase nonetheless.
