10 stylish dresses that can take you from work to date night on Valentine’s Day

These budget-friendly dress options could go a long way after Feb 14 too

by Ho Guo Xiong  /   February 4, 2020

While we would love for Valentine’s Day to fall on a weekend so that we can devote our time and attention to our partners, we have to make do with the fact that it happens on a Friday this year.

While the occasion is not exactly an excuse to take leave from work, it would be easy to transit from the boardroom to bar with the right outfit.

Here, we round up 10 stylish dresses that are both work-friendly and a little more playful on the most romantic day of the year.

10 stylish dresses that can take you from work to date night on Valentine's Day
Mini dress with draped detail, $119 from Zara
image

Besides the stunning aubergine shade, we’re loving the knotted drape detail that both add a unique visual element and create the illusion of an hourglass silhouette. Pair it with block heels or boots and chunky earrings.

 

Midi printed dress, $99.90 from Mango
image

Looking to inject a little fun and flirt to your ensemble? Florals are tried-and-true and this midi iteration would get the approval from your partner and your colleagues. Go with dainty jewellery so as not to clash with the size of the flower print.

 

V-neck lapel knitted wrap dress in green, $89 from Klarra
image

A plunging V-neck is might not be that office appropriate. But in the case of this wrap dress that comes in a silhouette that universally flattering, the V-neck is a subtle dip that will give a hint of decolletage that could be very appealing.

 

Sue flair dress, $179.90 from Sabrina Goh
image

For those who are celebrating the occasion with a hearty meal or an all-you-can-eat buffet, this flared dress will hide any unwanted food bulge. Moreover, white is also a sexy colour and complements the sheer skirt panel for a cheeky translucent look. Go monochrome with white pointed heels.

 

Ivanna pleated dress, $69 from Mphosis
image

This dress is work-friendly in front with a back detail that give the simple dress some texture. Also available in navy blue, we prefer red as it is a bold colour perfect for V-day.

 

Reformation Reggie silk-satin halterneck midi dress, US$246.49 (S$336.43) from Net-a-Porter
image

Silk slip dresses are pretty sexy (if you ask us), but this Reformation version takes it a notch further with its backless design and creamy nude colour. Wear it with a blazer or jumper and take it off before heading to your date. Strappy sandals preferred.

 

Dree crochet overlay dress, $59.90 from Love, Bonito
image

Lace is a fabric that’s undoubtedly feminine. It can also look dated – not an image you want to have on Valentine’s Day. However, we’re loving this sunny yellow iteration and the bodycon silhouette that makes the dress look fresh.

 

In The Mood For Love Nancy sequined leopard-print jersey maxi dress, US$672.59 (S$918) from Net-a-Porter
image

It takes someone with guts to pull off animal prints. In addition, In The Mood For Love has added transparent sequins onto the fabric, which will glisten and shine under the disco lights as you welcome the weekend with your partner at an after-hour party.

 

Anine Bing Viola lattice-trimmed plissé stretch-knit dress, US$251.60 (S$343.40) from Net-a-Porter
image

Black dresses might not seem like a sexy Valentine’s Day outfit. But this Anine Bing iteration has lattice trimmings that reveal a little skin without baring it all. You can go a little grungy with black boots or opt for strappy sandals.

 

Midi floral ruffled dress in blue, $44 from Pomelo
image

For those who love dancing as a way to connect with your partner, this dress is perfect. The ruffles will dance as you move your body. Strappy sandals and simple drop earrings should suffice.
