For our first Valentine’s Day list, we hand-picked options across all our clothing sections to help you look your best. With our help, you can find a brand new outfit or complete one you have with all new accessories.
Picks for Women 💅
Anika Jasmine offers pantsuits, dresses, skirts, jackets and much more! No matter how you plan to turn heads on this day of love, do it with the brand that unites fashion and culture.
1. Ayana Dress

This Valentine’s Day, dazzle your lover with this gold floral West African print dress. Whether you’re spending the evening in an upscale restaurant or enjoying a candlelit dinner in your backyard, this sleeveless, mermaid-style maxi dress will make you feel radiant! Because the Ayana Dress also has yellow and red flowers adorning the print amid black outlines, it’ll be easy to pair the gown with subtle black pumps or sandals without taking away any of your elegance.

2. Mimi Bib Necklace Pink
Because your neck deserves the best, check out our authentic beaded bib necklace, which was handcrafted in Haiti. The shades of pink, gold and off white perfectly fit the theme of this day of romance.

Created with 100% cotton African print cloth, you’ll be nothing but comfortable — not to mention stylish with the bold red, gold and black colors.
Oh, and ladies… the shorts have side pockets!
4. Nikki Set
In one easy purchase, your special Valentine’s Day outfit is 80% complete! The blouse of this gorgeous two piece set has bell sleeves you can fashion into an off-the-shoulder look.

5. Yakira Jacket
Ya•Kira: Precious.
Why ask your date for their jacket when you can buy your own? This fully-lined West African print blazer has long sleeves and two front pockets, so you’re sure to stay warm if you get chilly. Our blazer can be a lovely addition to any outfit for any occasion, but the red, yellow and black flowers will definitely shine a golden light on your day of love.
Picks for the Gents 🧳
Heads up, gentlemen: All of Anika Jasmine’s men’s shirts are made of 100% linen fabric with 100% cotton African textiles! Ready to wow your partners this holiday?
6. Cudjo Shirt
Our tunic-style top is a perfect way to explore African fabrics in your outfit without committing to bold patterns! Although this shirt primarily has a yellow base, the arms, collar and the top of the back are decorated with gold, red and black unique design trims. Pair this item with jeans or linen pants, and you’re sure to get your date’s approval.
7. Chipo Shirt
Chi•po: Gift.
Make a statement on your date with our royal blue Chipo Shirt, a long-sleeved button-up with yellow trims of African Kente cloth. If you’ve got big plans for your valentine and you know they plan to dress up, match their elegance with this colorful, comfortable option.
8. Chizoba Shirt
Chi•zo•ba: God protects.
A Valentine’s Day date is a popular time to coordinate with your sweetheart. If you two arranged festivities in warm weather, buy her the Nikki set, then purchase yourself this short-sleeved patchwork button-up and revel in the intimacy of sharing fashion. Plus, you can pair the red, black and golden yellow trims with shoes or bottoms in many colors.
9. Tim Shirt Short Sleeve
Every man needs a linen shirt — and this one by Anika Jasmine is an exceptional choice. It’s buttoned-up and collared, so you can easily dress it up to create a more formal look. However, it’s also short-sleeved, which means a casual outfit for a laid back date is also super achievable. Plus, with the African design trimmings subtly decorating the shirt, you can match your date without outshining them.
💡 P.S. This shirt is also available in peach!
10. Chiko Shirt
The golden yellow, red, blue and green Kente trim designs embellishing this buttoned-up shirt are sure to pop against the light beige base. It’s just as perfect for a day at the beach as it is for a night on the town!
Because you Deserve a Valentine’s Day Bonus
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or your date, pair your purchase with either the red Kali Earrings or Zuri Earrings. Besides the fact that they’re a steal (only $10!), you won’t go wrong matching them with any of Anika Jasmine’s stylish items.
