Date night is a special occasion for most of us, and special occasions sometime call for something a little more than whatever you wore to the office. So rather than meet your boo in a work shirt and a pencil skirt, make a quick change at the office this Valentine’s Day before your husband picks you up for your dinner date. And since special occasions don’t happen often (how else can they be special!), avoid splurging on a rarely-worn dress and head for these frocks below $80.

Wow your date in a rich teal-coloured wrap-style minidress. The silky fabric is airy and flirty, and the loose sleeves favours most figures.
For petite ladies, an asymmetric hemline works wonders. Not only does it look trendy, it helps your legs appear longer. It’s also great for less formal settings, or when you want to look dressed up effortlessly.
Forget the red dress, blush is the new sexy colour that women should have. Not only is it less tarty than a scarlet dress, it complements your skin tone and allows you to play around with your accessories for added drama.
So you want to wear a longer dress, but you don’t want to look overdressed. Enter a black lace maxi dress. The longer length allows you to scale back on accessories, and the lace fabric and embroidery trim dresses it up so you don’t look too underdressed.
An LBD is a perennial style icon, and this lacey number bears no difference from that. With a kicky skirt and its longer length, channel the grace and elegance of Parisian women by wearing this with a pair of pearl earrings and kitten heels.
With layers of effervescent tassels dancing around the dress, this little fuchsia number is one to be worn for those fun date nights. Throw it on with some stacked bracelets and a bright red lip before you head out to meet your valentine.
Nothing spells ease quite like a t-shirt dress. We love this eye-catching sequinned number, complete with an intricate floral pattern. All you need is a fun bag and a pair of satin sandals to finish.
This one is for the brave, but this dress certainly pays off. With a combination of bold green and floral fabrics spliced together, you don’t need too much effort to glam it up.
Unlike the rest of the dresses in this gallery, this mustard coloured piece gives you the chance to play with layers. Our pick? Toss it over a pair of black skinny jeans and a white tank top for a look that brims with insouciance.
With its lace trim and the midnight blue colour, this velvet dress is boudoir-inspired without being too hammy. Slip into a pair of black mules and tie your hair up into a loose bun before heading out the door.
