We Heart

Holidays are an excuse to dress up in something special and fun, and Valentine's Day is no exception! Whether you have a hot date planned or are just looking to get in a festive mood, we have some top Valentine's Day outfit choices.

Hipknoties

For a versatile piece that can become a dress, skirt, top, scarf and more, look no further than our must-have garment of the year — Hipknoties. Made of soft fabric that can morph into numerous creations layered or on its own, Hipknoties can be sexy or sweet, depending on your mood. But whatever you do, just make sure you treat yourself to one to see what you've been missing out on! (Hipknoties, $85)

Embellished T-shirt

Sometimes a gal wants to sparkle and shine, so rock this slub embellished graphic heart tee from Express for a look that's as comfy as it is cute. The charming T-shirt drapes beautifully, has a rounded hem and is adorned with head-turning paillette sequins that add interest to this lovely top. Prepare to fall in love! (Express, $40)

Slouchy sweater

Give your Valentine's Day ensemble some pastel flair with this lovely heart sweater from Double Zero that's perfect for a casual day out on the town. Sheer and slouchy with a subtle heart in the center, this sweetly chic look works well for a more relaxed Valentine's Day and is too cute to resist! Available in ivory, melon and mint, it's hard to choose just one! (Nordstrom, $38)

Sweet dress

If subtly sexy is your style, don a sweet dress like the lace-yoke jersey dress from Ralph Lauren. With banded lace trim along the top with an inner drawstring, it's not only pretty but functional, too. The hue of the innocent dress is feminine, and the casual style ensures that it'll be worn again and again. What's not to love? (Macy's, $98)

Heart socks

If going all out in a festive color isn't really your thing, pull on some Valentine's Day socks instead, like this Hugs & Kisses pair from Hot Sox, for a more understated take on the holiday of love. Let these socks peek out from under your work pants to show the world that you don't take yourself too seriously. (Nordstrom, $6)

Nothing says sexy quite like delicate lace can, so slip into this demure lace sleeveless dress from Gracia. Perfect for a dinner date, dancing or whatever else he has planned, you'll look classy yet sexy in this beautiful frock that hits above the knee and puts all eyes on you.
