1. Aqua One-Shoulder Scuba-Crepe Dress
One-Shoulder Scuba-Crepe Dress
Price: $198 · From AQUA
"How dressy are we going?" That's the question for your significant other. If it's a really special night, why not make a statement with a one-shoulder red crepe dress, made more dramatic because it's cut on the bias? This dress says: be my valentine, but has enough style to go anywhere, anytime, so you’ll wear it to other occasions for years to come and be glad you did! Style Hint: A dress with this much personality needs the simplest of accessories, like a black clutch and matching sandals. Keep jewelry simple too: Drop earrings and a cuff.

These raspberry suede knee high boots add some Valentine's charm to more neutral outfits. Style Hint: Knee-high suede boots look luscious with a midi dress, but work equally well with shorter hemlines. For a retro vibe, pair them with a mock-neck knit dress in black or grey.

If you're ready to pump up the drama, this one-shouldered rosy-mauve midi dress is a great choice. We love the comfortable gathered silky jersey fabric is, with ruched waist and draped detail in the back. Wear smoothing undergarments, because of how slinky it is! Style Hint: Keep this dress the star of your ensemble by adding delicate jewelry and dainty ankle-strap pumps. If you need a jacket, choose a soft leather moto jacket to add a little edge.
