If you’re on the hunt for the perfect Valentine’s Day outfit, then look no further than our hand-picked selection of sexy dresses.

February 14th is around the corner. And whether you prefer a traditional dinner and a movie sorta date, a group outing with other couples, or a girl’s night with your best gal pals, dressing the part will help put you in the mood to celebrate Valentine’s Day. With that in mind, we’ve carefully selected five gorgeous dresses that we’re pretty sure you’ll adore. So much so, that you might even catch yourself doodling little hearts and daydreaming about your special plans for the evening.

1. Ivory Lace Tunic

Super romantic with plenty of beautiful feminine and frilly details, this tunic-style dress is perfect for day or night. The swing shape is flattering and forgiving, but has just enough curve-hugging fabric to show off your figure. We’d love to see this paired with an over-the-knee boot for a day date, and with a sexy bootie for night. Wear this with a cropped jacket and tights if it’s chilly, or even over ultra-fitted skinny jeans. Priced at $108.

2. Sheer Pleated Maxi

Formal occasions, black tie affairs, and fancy dinners absolutely call for a dress like this one. Sexy, sheer, and opaque in all the right places, this maxi will have your date drooling over how smoking hot you look. Pair it with a platform, ankle bootie, or stiletto shoe. And if you need a little touch of shimmer, then opt for a choker, several dainty layered necklaces, a statement earring, or an armful of bangles. Priced at $98.

3. Drop Waist Mini

Sweet and sensual, this powder pink mini has lots of all-over texture and an ethereal lightness that’s totally flirty and perfect for Valentine’s Day. The long sheer sleeves add substance, while the overall look and design are excellent for wearing with tall boots, ankle booties, platforms, and even a strappy heel. This is another piece that would also work well with tights or skinny jeans for a completely transformed look. Priced at $148.

4. Criss Cross Crop Set

If you’re looking to turn up the heat, then this is one of the sexiest dresses you could possibly put on. With a thigh-high slit, peek-a-boo lace, and a slice of midriff showing off your midsection, there’s certainly plenty of skin to be seen, despite the long sleeves and pencil length. This also happens to be two pieces, allowing you to get even more miles out of this skin-tight set. Wear the pieces together to create the illusion of a dress this Valentine’s Day, or mix and match as you please. A sexy heel or bootie would look best. Priced at $308.

5. Lavender V-Neck Romper

Delicate and soft, you’d never know from first glance that this scalloped lavender romper isn’t actually a dress. Perfect for those of you who prefer the modesty of shorts, but like the look of a flirty skirt, this is a piece you’ll definitely want to check out for your upcoming date. Great for day or night, it would pair well with a jacket, booties, and lots of trending jewelry looks. The fit and flare silhouette is flattering, making it a look you’ll want to wear again and again. Priced at $54.

From edgy sheer black knits to sweet and feminine strapless silk, these sexy summer dresses by eco-friendly designers are perfect for sweltering nights on the town.

If you don’t have a dress in your closet that screams, ‘It’s ninety degrees, but I look and feel amazing,’ you need to go shopping. Stat. I’m not an advocate of thoughtless, voracious consumerism, and I definitely don’t recommend running out to your nearest fast fashion store full of dirt cheap, pesticide-laden garments made by slave labor. But a sexy summer dress is a wardrobe essential, and the right one will be a staple for warm-weather dates and events for years to come.

These five gorgeous garments were handmade in America using environmentally friendly processes and materials, and include a couple options in extended sizes.

Asymmetrical Organic Cotton Dress by Brook There

Slinky organic cotton and bamboo with a touch of spandex make this casual summer dress by Brook There cool and versatile with a comfy yet body-hugging fit that will effortlessly transition from day to night. Available in over a dozen colors, this dress features an asymmetric neckline and side slit, giving it a modern edge. Each piece by Brook There Organic Clothing is hand-made to order in Portland, Maine.

Medewi Leopard Silk Tube Mini Dress by Gypsy05

The Medewi Leopard Silk Tube Mini Dress by Gypsy05 is sweet and summery in three pastel prints, but still shoulder-baring sexy. It’s lined with silk fabric in a matching color and features an adjustable elastic tie waistband. Gypsy05 garments are made using organic fabrics, soy softeners, low-impact dyes and seaweed extract printing. This small lifestyle brand’s headquarters were the first completely solar-powered dyeing, printing and manufacturing facility in Los Angeles, California.

Ran Dress by Morph Knitwear for Sisters of the Black Moon

This sheer hand-knitted cotton and bamboo dress with an asymmetrical hemline looks amazing over a bandeau and hot pants, a swimsuit or a basic tank dress. Stick with edgy all-black or mix it up with colors and prints underneath. Each Morph Knitwear piece is made to order by designer Angela Thompson in Portland, Oregon using materials that are almost exclusively locally sourced. Thompson cites “the mythological, the powerful feminine, history, and a good dose of heavy metal” among her influences.

Puya Organic Cotton Dress by Elroy Clothing

A cowl neck and a little bit of subtle ruching make Elroy Clothing’s Puya Dress flattering for virtually every figure. It comes in purple, red or turquoise, and it’s made of 95% organic cotton. Elroy supports fair trade markets in areas of low income and unemployment, including Indonesia, where the company founder began a sustainable employment project in 2009.

The Belladonna Dress by HerbanDevi

We all need a couple sexy summer dresses that make us feel bold and confident, and the organic cotton Belladonna Dress by HerbanDevi couldn’t be more perfect for dancing. It’s got shoulder ties for an adjustable fit, and a flounce skirt. Handmade to order in San Mateo, California, this dress comes in a wide range of colors, and sizes XX-small (00) through XX-large (22-24).

You’re nearing mid-August and feel in limbo with seasons, sales are picking up everywhere and you ask yourself, “Self – do I get a few cute pieces for next summer or look forward to fall?”

The answer to this is to find a few pieces that can work for you now and into the fall.

I found this entire outfit online at Verdessence (minus the shoes) and on sale (minus the earrings but they’re a very reasonable at $18). I love this Edun top and can imagine it with a skinny belt (blue to match the shoes and perhaps gold to pull the earrings in?) to cinch it in adding an hourglass shape when paired with this slim skirt.

Del Forte Camilia High Rise Skirt $99

It’s always good to throw some color into an outfit and these Cri de Coeur heels are the perfect solution to what might be an otherwise plain outfit.

Cri de Coeur Abby Round Toe Pump $216.87

The earrings add a little more depth to the outfit with all metal colors represented, so if you wanted to slip on a simple ring with this too, it won’t matter if it’s gold or silver. Just don’t over-do the jewelry!

Mata Traders Layered Leaf Earrings $18

Want to bring this outfit into the fall? Throw on a pair of black or grey tights, a long black or grey cardigan and pair of three-quarter lengthed boots like these vegetable dyed Osage Boots from Coclico, on sale for $207, and you’re falling into fall and away from summer.

And for the record, my favorite leggings hands down are by Nixxi. And guess what? Verdessence just so happens to have them on sale for $39. Please take my word for it and grab a pair, lightweight and silky, they are the best leggings year-round.
