It’s time to start thinking about Valentine’s Day attire. If you wait ’til the last minute, you’ll surely be stumped in a ‘gosh-I-have-no-idea-what-to-wear’ quandary. Regardless of your plans, you’ll want to look super cute and sexy. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to shop for a new girlie outfit!


Here are some ideas categorized by the mood you’re applying to this year’s day of love.

Sassy

Planning a fun girls’ night out on the town? Hitting the dance clubs with your honey? If you’re feeling sassy this Valentine’s, find something short and slinky or – better yet – sequined to the hilt!

Sexy

Staying in for a steamy night with your sweetie? Heading to a cocktail lounge? If you want something on the sexy side, look for pieces reminiscent of lingerie – skin tight, lacy and seductive.

Sophisticated

Going for dinner to an upscale restaurant? Is it a first date? Either way, you’ll want something that’s stylish and sophisticated. Look for longer hemlines and more structured dresses that still have a touch of sexy with silky fabrics or tastefully plunging necklines.

Romantic

If your mood is a bit more sugary sweet than seductive, look for pieces that scream romance. Red velvet, pink lace and ruffles are perfect options.
