Valentine-Worthy Dresses For Less

Embrace V-Day to the fullest and choose a festive red-and-pink two-tone dress. This slinky number is bold and of-the-moment.

Wow your S.O. in this canary yellow maxi trimmed in crochet, complete with a plunging neckline. Accessorize with barely-there sandals and duster earrings.

You can never go wrong with a little black dress. Opt for a romantic design like this mini adorned with a frilly tulle hem.

The gathered detail on this blush-colored satin slip lends sexy flair. Style with ankle-strap heels and a sleek hairdo.

Not into pink? Give lilac a try. The pastel hue is a great alternative and will be a major trend for spring. A belted mini with fluttery sleeves and skirt is flattering on many frames.

The floral pattern, mixed print combo and asymmetric hem on this gorgeous wrap dress is setting our fashion-girl hearts aflutter.

A rosy jacquard print is utterly romantic especially on a rich burgundy palette.

An off-the-shoulder dress is an obvious choice. This adorable pink mini looks great with sculptural earrings.

A high-neck frock with long sleeves and a ditzy floral pattern is an elegant choice for both date night and work.

A cold-shoulder mini with a choker neckline flirtatiously bares the right amount of skin without revealing too much.

Nothing turns more heads than a stunning back of a dress. The dangly straps on this teal handkerchief design makes it that much more special.

Drapey satin in a luxurious ivory color is so versatile. Throw on a glamorous fuzzy coat when going out with the girls and layer a turtleneck over for the day.

It's all in the details with this one. The leafy print, split hem, front twist knot and sliver of cut-out make this a ridiculously stylish choice.

Volume and eyelet strike the perfect balance on this white dress. Add a pair of colorful earrings for some pop.

A frilly wrap mini is the coveted dress trend right now. We guarantee you'll wear this red-hot version beyond the holiday all through spring and summer.
