It’s just about a month until Valentine’s Day, and without a doubt many stores have been promoting the greatest lingerie for the big day. We loved getting into the holiday spirit with holiday themed lingerie, but Valentine’s Day is definitely a more romantic time of year. While we know you’re more than excited to show off your new sexy pieces, what about the date leading up to it? Whether you’re being treated to a fancy night on the town, or enjoying a home cooked meal by candlelight in the privacy of your own home, a Valentine’s date certainly calls for a new outfit! Today I’m sharing some of my favorite pieces, for different types of occasions, from swanky to low-key, there’s a fabulous look for all.

If you and your date are choosing to hit up your regular spot, this is casual enough where you won’t appear over-dressed, but the vibrant pink color of this dress from Tibi will make it feel extra special for Valentine’s Day. It’s a classic a-line shape that is super flattering for many figures, just pair it with tights and a blazer, and you’ve made it a multi-season dress as well!

If you’re date night plans include car service and expensive wine, you’ll probably want to look the part. For an extra special night don’t be afraid to splurge a little on an extra special dress. Half the fun of getting ready is putting on something that makes you feel like a million bucks, even if it’s not something you reach for every weekend. A great option when investing in a more formal dress is to choose something timeless, but not boring. A classic shape in a neutral color is a good start, and then look for the trimmings that make it stand out. I’d have trouble saying no to a little extra shine found in this piece from Mod Cloth!
