When in doubt, wear red. In fact, wear layers of it and you'd be surprised to find out how sultry an all-red look can affect your mood (and even that of those around you). In psychology, this shade is known as a vibrant, stimulating, and exciting colour which you might want to incorporate all throughout to make a strong impact. The Patton Studio Cross-wrap bodysuit would look amazing with High-Rise Straight red pants from Banana Republic and a red Furla Sleek Mini Crossbody bag. But opt for black shoes like the Steve Madden Larisa Pumps to change things up a bit.

For a look that makes you feel powerful and in control, try an ensemble that includes a pink blazer and match it with other pink pieces like Aldo Louella Strap heels, Marc Jacobs Snapshot new baby pink, and Swarovski Gema Stud earrings in rhodium pink. However, wear black leather trousers from Massimo Dutti and a white or black top inside. To capture a more street style look, instead of wearing heels, opt for white sneakers.

Feeling Flirty

Wear a mini dress on your Valentine's Day date to truly capture your flirty side. The Sabine bow Mini Dress by Vania Romoff or the Passion LS Mini Dress from Comme Ci paired with the white Dune London Melissa Di Heeled Mule Sandals would look lovely be it during the day or night. It's comfortable to move around, shows off a bit of skin, and overall bring out your feminine side.

If you're feeling a bit playful, then you'll want to incorporate more colours into your wardrobe. Have a little more fun on Valentine's Day by wearing bright coloured pieces like the Araw Payas Top Multi that's designed with a playful checkered pattern in different colours. Pair it with casual Tommy Hilfiger Mom Jeans and wear purple heels to match your top. Tie everything together with a white sling bag like the Coach Swinger and you're ready to go!

Most people love wearing linen, whether they're going on a romantic beach date or simply prefer wearing sustainable pieces. But while earth tones aren't exactly cupid's favourite colour palette, you can still opt for clothes that'll make you stand out this season of love. Try matching the Anika 9th & Flower Top with pleated trousers from Araw. Of course, you can still wear heeled sandals like the Woven Double Strap in Tan by Vania Romoff (which you can take to the beach or your local cafe). If you need to carry a few essentials with you, use the chic Aranaz Malia Round Wicker Tote.

You can still feel sexy yet elegant in loose-fitting clothes. Find a white dress that drapes nicely on your body like the Harlan Holden Uneven Boxy dress which isn't too short or too long and add a black (or red) belt to draw attention to your waist. Find a hot red bag and bring it with you in celebration of the season of love. Lastly, instead of wearing heels, slip on a pair of white sneakers to complete your look!

Wearing a flowy dress like the Silk Chiffon Floral gown by Dona Lim and pairing it with strappy heels from Billini will turn you into a character straight out of a storybook. If you're thinking of wearing a mask to match the theme, wear the Cartagena mask by Rosanna Ocampo. This outfit is also perfect for a picnic date, be it in your backyard or out in an open field with your partner.
