For me, Valentine’s Day style is all about balance. I want a dress that feels romantic and festive but still flattering, comfortable and easy to wear beyond February 14. The pieces that do that best usually live in boutiques, and tend to come with prices I don’t love. The good news is that this roundup proves you don’t have to splurge to get that effortless look.
Whether you’re shopping for Valentine’s Day with your favorite person or are getting dinner with the gals, these are the Valentine’s Day dresses you’ll want to have on hand.
