Get in loser, we’re celebrating the month of love. Now, while we’re not here to prescribe how you should enjoy the day, the rule of keeping the same energy dictates that you should be as bold in your style as you choose to be in your love language. So, whether you’re splashing out on a grande date with the love of your life, swiping right and taking a gamble on a first date, doing a squad dinner date or kicking back and chilling with something on Netflix, we have picked out five outfits you’ll look absolutely breathtaking in.

A fashion combination that gives sporty elegance with a sultry side, an ankle length bodycon dress with sleek sneakers is a fresh twist to a date night look. Add texture and trend value with a chic purse that has stylish embellishments.

Measure the perfect proportions of playful and polished with this loose-fitting jumpsuit paired with stilettos and accented with a bum bag. In as smooth a contrast of fashion pieces as it is, it also lets you play up the sensuality of your décolletage and ankles.

The ankle length bodycon and sneaker look’s younger sister, the frill on this dress adds a flirty element that makes it look like you didn’t try too hard, but still look amazing – it’s also a cheeky way to show off your legs.

Jazzy and feminine at the same time, this two-piece is striking yet delicate. Paired with court stilettos, it’s a refreshing look that cashes in on romantic cliches in an unexpected way.

A quintessential date night night look without the fuss and frills but all the impact, this lace mini dress and stiletto combination is alluring yet tasteful. It is a timeless pairing that commands attention.

Kicking back on the couch – alone or with company – should be its own style moment. Yes, it’s easy to be laid back in an old t-shirt or sweats, but, if no other day, Valentine’s is the day to be feeling yourself in every sense. We raise you a satin-finish teddy with lace trimmings.
