Each Valentine's Day plan deserves the appropriate outfit. Don't let the tradition of dresses, red and pink put you in a cacoon of wardrobe anxiety.

Check out these travel pack tips for your Valentine's Day romantic getaway.

1. Vegan leather pants and a T-shirt are ideal for concert plans and a visit to your favourite bar or food joint later. Pair them with sleek boots or a comfortable pair of heels to give the outfit that edgy sexiness. Use minimum jewellery and go light on the make-up.
