If you're feeling overwhelmed by the many possibilities and don't even know where to begin styling floral dresses, check out this simple guide we created full of great alternatives. The bottom line is you can't go wrong with a floral dress on Valentine's day.

Opt for a romantic look

There's truly no better way to celebrate the season of love than by wearing a romantic outfit. Think dresses for women in silky, flowy fabrics, soft pastel colors, lace details, eyelet embroidery, and pretty silhouettes. If you want to make a lasting impression, choosing a dress with girly balloon sleeves is a cool way to do so, although off-the-shoulder styles and sweetheart necklines can instantly bring some romance to any outfit. Remember, pairing dresses of any length with nude stilettos or high-heeled sandals are fabulous ways to add effortless elegance to your romantic ensemble. Top your look off with some cute jewelry, and you're good to go.

Feel pretty in pink, red, or white

A great way to create an appropriate Valentine's Day outfit is by focusing on the right color palette. Casual dresses in hues of pink like blush, salmon, or carnation will bring instant femininity to any look, while different shades of red, such as crimson, scarlet, or burgundy, will be sure to make you the center of attention. If you're going for a lovely and sophisticated look and don't feel like wearing striking colors, a white Valentine’s Day dress is a fantastic option too. When wearing white dresses, try to add some texture by choosing pieces with lace or embroidered details (hello romance!), or opt for a stylish, minimalist vibe by wearing white garments with barely-there gold accessories.

Have some fun in a little black dress

If you're looking to have some fun, opt for an edgier Valentine's Day outfit and consider showing some skin with a little black dress. This timeless and elegant option is incredibly easy to style. If there's an ideal Valentine’s Day dress it’s got to be this one. When choosing the right LBD for you, consider different necklines. A deep v-neck can be a beautiful option to place the focus on pretty jewelry, while one-shoulder styles are an excellent to make a statement. On that note, off-the-shoulder LBDs worn with a stylish updo and bold earrings also look amazing (plus, they're a great way to show some skin while keeping things classy). Opt for a monochrome look by pairing your LBD with black sandals, or bring an unexpected pop of color to the outfit by going for a pair of bright statement stilettos instead. And here's a style tip: consider rocking a red lip if you want to add an extra kick to any little black dress.

As you can see, there's no need to worry when putting together the perfect Valentine's Day outfit. There are more than enough options, and with this simple guide, we're sure you'll feel fabulous no matter what look you choose to celebrate love!
