on what would otherwise be a lazy Monday after the Super Bowl. 

For those who cheerily buy into Hallmark's commercialized, heart-shaped-box-of-anything-sweet idea, February 14th is all about pink and red. But maybe you'd rather confess your love to owners of your favorite bodega than participate in a "Galentine's Day" brunch — in that case, it might just be another cozy sweatpants night in with the people or animals that mean the most to you. In any cases, mood-setting candles are good for the soul and promote the warm and fuzzy feelings of an unexpected flower delivery or a much-needed hug. 

Ahead, find five trend-forward outfits that you could wear on Valentine's Day (or any day of the year, really), each paired with a soul-soothing candle that captures the essence of the look. From a cuddly Christopher John Rogers sweater that you'll want to enter into a long-term relationship with to a pair of satin, bow-bedecked ballet flats that'll remind you that romance and fairytales do exist, the outfits below will make your heart smile. 

For when you want to enjoy yourself exactly where you are...

For when you know your worth...

For when you feel like a million bucks...

For when you're in your feels (in a good way)...

For when life gives you rainbow cookies...
