AFRM X Revolve Essentials Jennan Dress
Size Range: XXS – 3XShipping: Free 2-Day shipping, UPS Next Saver (8pm) for $24, UPS Next Day (12pm) for $30
Black dresses are classics for a reason — they’re so versatile and, thanks to the neutral colorway, you can play around with accessories and footwear, depending on personal preference. This option is slightly sheer, turning up the heat for whatever you have planned, and if you’re on the shorter side, the straps are adjustable (a major perk for petites).

Bardot Ivanna Lace Midi Dress
Size Range: XS – XLShipping: Free 2-Day shipping, UPS Next Saver (8pm) for $24, UPS Next Day (12pm) for $30
Cutouts are great for when you want to show off a little bit of skin. And while this fuschia midi dress has one perfectly placed front and center, the lace material gives the garment a sophisticated feel.

superdown Loraine Midi Dress
Size Range: XS – LShipping: Free 2-Day shipping, UPS Next Saver (8pm) for $24, UPS Next Day (12pm) for $30
Not everyone is into red or pink. Switch things up for Valentine’s Day 2024 by slipping on this light blue sweater dress. We love how the off-the-shoulder design provides the opportunity to show a little skin, while the knit material feels a bit more practical and warm enough for the winter chill.

OW Collection Ella Shirt Dress
Size Range: XS – XLShipping: Free 2-Day shipping, UPS Next Saver (8pm) for $24, UPS Next Day (12pm) for $30
If you’re looking for something slightly casual, go with a shirt dress. It’s still super elevated but not as fancy as, say, a strappy lace midi dress.

Amanda Uprichard x Revolve Leather Puzzle Dress
Size Range: XS – XLShipping: Free 2-Day shipping, UPS Next Saver (8pm) for $24, UPS Next Day (12pm) for $30
You can’t go wrong with a little black dress for any occasion and that includes V-Day. But instead of a basic LBD, step outside your comfort zone with a faux leather alternative that’s more sexy than sweet.

We’ll take any excuse to take our style to the next level, and if we can’t get a little over-the-top on Valentine’s Day, when can we? This strapless LBD comes with removable puff-sleeved gloves, which instantly turn such a simple piece into something truly special.

If you can’t resist a good faux fur trim, same. This body-hugging sweater dress includes the playful element at the neckline and sleeves, which will be especially fitting if your holiday plans involve a cozy trip to the slopes. However, the detail is removeable if you change your mind, so you’re basically getting multiple looks in one.
