When you think of Valentine’s Day, what comes to mind? For me this year, it is Wes Anderson. Yes, that’s right, dear reader, I’ve decided that there is no reason why my Valentine’s Day cannot be centered around the quintessentially quirky Anderson aesthetic. As much as I love The Notebook (and, trust me, I do love The Notebook), there is something about the way that Wes Anderson captures love that is special. I could write you a thesis on it, but I won’t. Instead I will let you watch the movies for yourself with a little guidance. So without further ado, here is your official guide to a very Wes Anderson Valentine’s Day.

The Mood

Wes Anderson movies would not be Wes Anderson movies without the soundtracks that so perfectly fit the stories being told. Here are some of my favorite songs for you hopeless romantics and lonely hearts.

 

The Look

Even if you’re snuggled up watching a movie on Valentine’s Day, you can still think about what you’ll be snuggled up in. Wes Anderson’s films are quirky and nostalgic, characteristics that perfectly describe the best go-to cozy movie-watching looks.
