Ladylike Lace
Repeat after us: Lace dresses don't have to scream bridal. Stark white sneakers can lend a downtown feel to a long-sleeve style like blogger
Hedvig Opshaug's dress, making it worthy of a V-Day outing.

A Winter Crop Top
Date night with your dude calls for a cold-weather cropped look like Editorialist cofounder Kate Davidson Hudson's top. Her turtleneck option works with a high-waist black midiskirt, proving you need to flash only a hint of skin to catch someone's eye.
Whimsical Novelty Prints
Have a little fun with the day's theme and go with a novelty shirt. Keep it in check by steering clear of bright hues, and instead choose a rich jewel tone like blogger Chiara Ferragni's Burberry top.

An Always Chic Little Black Dress
Heading to an I Hate Valentine's Day party? Might we suggest a dress-code-appropriate LBD! Pick one that has mixed materials or an interesting hemline—special touches that update the goes-with-everything dress. Style it with a long-line blazer and slip-on flats for a comfy, cool look.
A Thigh-High Slit Skirt
Leave it to blogger Leandra Medine to combine a lace crop top, high-slit skirt, and menswear oxfords. Her outfit nails it for those looking to straddle the sexy-but-not-trying-too-hard line.
Sultry Slips or Camis
As far as we're concerned, there is nothing sexier than a slip dress or silk camisole. Blogger Irina Lakicevic's slinky dress is a toss-on-and-go must-have, so add it to the list of Valentine's Day options.
Sporty Red Sneakers
Hanging with your girlfriends? Denim it is! Make like blogger Danielle Bernstein and add a punch of color in honor of the day with red slip-ons and a matching cozy knit.
An Edgy Leather Mini
Editor Barbara Martelo is no stranger to leather, so consider taking a cue from her: Balance rock-star edge and vintage glamour in a leather mini and slim cashmere sweater.
