If you are off on an extravagant date this V day (lucky you!) this stunning number from Needle & Thread would insure all eyes are on you. We love the floral print and layers of tulle - its romantic dressing at its finest! The plethora of colours and blooms were inspired by a 19th century wallpaper artwork. How beautiful! With its ribbon waist detail and cold-shoulder sleeves, you won't want to take it off.

£345, Needle & Thread

No it's not red, nor is it covered it hearts, but this dreamy denim number would still be a great addition to your wardrobe. Not only is it made in the most flattering fit ever (hello cute button-up front) but you can still wear it after the roses have wilted.

It's never NOT about the leopard print and Rixo has your back if you want to take a walk on the wild side. The Pink Tiger Stripe number has blouson sleeves and two sexy leg slits. If you are brave, team with clashing printed shoes, or play it safe with nude block heels and let the print do all the talking.

£315, Rixo

It's all about the animal print this season and this Zebra print number from Next is a great investment for the wild gal within! The ditsy-print wrap shape is made in an oh-so-flattering skater style and the contrasting buttons are a great finishing touch. We are thinking cowboy boots would really set this off…

£22, NEXT
