Valentines’ Day Clothing for Everyone

Dressing up for Valentine’s Day is fun for kids and adults. Children and teens will wear a t-shirt, leggings, and red accessories to school or to parties. Women will wear a heart pattern shirt or red dress and men will dress for the holiday by wearing a patterned tie or casual shirt. 

Overall kids and adults have fun on Valentine's Day when they wear a festive holiday pattern or other red clothing.

Happy Valentine's Day by Sgolis featuring red heart clothing and accessories

On Valentines Day children will exchange cards, attend parties and teens may go to a dance. Adults usually spend time with their special someone and celebrate the love that they feel for each other. Everyone who celebrates the holiday will dress up in some form of Valentine’s Day clothing.

Red is the primary color for Valentine's Day and is symbolized by love, hearts, and roses.

Do you wear the color red on Valentine's Day?

Redo Bathroom with Botanical Accessories

An easy way to redo your bathroom is to accessorize it with botanical accessories. You can choose from a variety of floral prints and all will complement a neutral, cream, white or light beige bathroom beautifully. Even if you have a green accent wall most flowers look fabulous with the color green.

I like to redo my bathroom in late winter because the floral products make the room feel warm and cheerful. When you redo your bathroom with a botanical shower curtain, towels, bath mat, and other accessories you will bring the garden indoors. As a rule, when the crocus starts to bloom in the gardens I will redo my bathroom with spring flowers. Tulips, daffodils, and irises are a few of my favorites and all look fabulous when they are printed onto bathroom accessories with coordinating towels.

Valentine's Day Teddy Bear Fashion by Sgolis 

There is a new baby in our family and I plan to shop online and then ship directly to my niece instead of having the baby gift sent to me first. I have narrowed it down to a few cute baby shirts for Valentine's Day. All are a classic style and they will coordinate well with jeans or other bottoms for baby and these tops can be worn for everyday or dressed up.

Know that I did shop at the mall and found that there were not many Valentine's designs for babies. boy or girl. The ones that I did find were cute, Disney has a cute Minnie Mouse tee for baby, but other than that, the pickings for Valentine shirts for a baby were not many at the mall, and none offered to add your own words like the shirts made at Zazzle.

Here are my top picks.

Print on Demand Fashion Design at Zazzle

For the last nine years, I have been designing fashion for him, her, and kids at Zazzle.com. I like that every product that I design is a work of art and is one of a kind. This means it is made by Zazzle, and you will never see it in the mall. 

If you are someone who likes unique fashion then know that you can buy the design as shown or you can choose to upload your own artwork, graphics, or photographs to create your own fashion look.

This fashion set features leather-look leggings and black zebra-printed accessories that I created at my Photo Gifts by Sgolis store.

Animal Print Fashion Set by Sgolis

Over the years I have bought many artwork t-shirts from Zazzle and find that the quality does differ from product style, there is finer cotton that feels like silk on your skin that is perfect for warm weather and there are other t-shirt styles that are made with heavier cotton which is best used for cooler weather. 

The sweatshirts and hoodies are super as they have a smooth outer layer with a fleece-like texture close to your skin.

I find that the artwork when applied to the quality cotton and blended polyester fabrics at Zazzle is reproduced beautifully. Zazzle does not mass produce their products, instead, they print the product only when it is bought. So when you buy any product on the website a skilled worker will create your product. They will ensure that your fashion product will have a high-resolution digital quality image that does not fade even after several cold water washes with air fluff drying and hung up on a hanger to dry all the way.

Know that I design fashion for men women and children at Zazzle and I am also a customer who shops at other designer stores. I like that the products I buy are works of art. If you have not shopped for print-on-demand fashion at Zazzle, then I would recommend that you check them out.

Cat Pattern Ties for Men

When comes to dressing up for the office or special event men will put on a cat print tie because they do not mind showing off that real men love cats. My husband has a drawer full of cat pattern ties He likes to wear one I made from him from a photograph of our Siamese cat but for meetings or power lunches, he will put on his black and white leopard print tie or other animal print. I am not sure but I think he feels more confident, in his black suit with his big cat fashion tie.

Classic Styled neckties

Know that you can rarely find a cat pattern necktie at the mall, those stores have mostly generic-looking ties for men. If you want a tie that is interesting then you need to shop online at a print-on-demand store like Zazzle. The ties are created by some talented painters, photographers, and graphic design artists. There is no such thing as a boring fashion tie at Zazzle.

Here are a few of my favorite big and domestic cat fashion ties.  *Know that when you buy a tie from this page, you will be supporting a small business

Gone Fishing – Menswear

Many men prefer to dress in t-shirts and khakis or jeans, they will go to their closet and pull out a plain Hanes tee, and “getting dressed” is done. I am married to a man who dresses like this and prefers that he wear a pattern on his shirt. So I designed a line of shirts for men. Here is a menswear tee that I refer to as “gone fishing”

Gone Fishing by sgolis 

This men’s tee is a loose-fitting shirt that is perfect for men who are active. It is made from 100% cotton and is a heavier weight, not paper-thin but a good weight that appeals to men who prefer a shirt that is more durable. This shirt is perfect for working out in the yard or for wearing to go fishing.

Gone Fishing Men's Basic Tan T-Shirt

My husband likes this quality-made shirt with double-needle stitching on the sleeve, neck, and bottom. The shirt wears well and is one of my husband's favorites.

My husband weighs 152 and is 5’11. He wears a medium and the fit is loose and comfortable. 

We laundered this shirt in cold water, a permanent press cycle, and dried it on low heat. Took out of the dryer when the shirt was damp, shook it, and put it on a hanger. It did not shrink and looks as good as new.

Womens' Columbia Omni Shade Shirt Review

When putting outfits together for outdoor activities during the summer months I always shop for women's Omni-shade clothing by Columbia. I like quality made clothing that offers UPF 30 sun protection.  

The Columbia Omni-shade line of clothing does not wrinkle and I never feel overheated no matter what I am doing outdoors; gardening, hiking, or running errands.

Here is an outfit that I put together with a plaid pattern Omni-shade shirt by Columbia. Note the sleeves are rolled up and are kept in place with a button holder.

Columbia Silver Ridge Plaid Shirt by sgolis featuring denim low-top sneakers

Style and Size

The Omni-Shade Shirt by Columbia comes in a variety of colors and prints. When shopping online for this shirt I have bought the plaid and other printed shirts. I like prints because their color patterns are cute. I tend to shop for the colors blue and pink or the mint and pink prints and basic solid colors.

The cut is feminine and semi-fitted. Last year I bought 2 of these shirts in a size medium and they fit fine everywhere except my bust. The buttons pulled. I eliminated this fit concern by wearing a camisole under the shirt which enabled me to leave this button open.

This year I bought the shirt in a size large and the overall fit is not as fitted and the buttons in the bust area do not pull. My husband says the shirt looks fine, but a little boxy.  If your bra cup size is a C then size up.

Wear the shirt untucked because the cut of this shirt hits the high hip and if you tucked it in then it would come untucked quickly.

Caring for Shirt

Machine launder shirt in delicate clothing cycle, cold water, and use no chlorine bleach. I do not put it in the dryer, instead, I hang it and let it "air dry"
