"Valentine's Day is one of those occasions where you can go all out so I tend to channel sophisticated yet sexy. Sticking with my minimalist style, a classic LBD is the perfect thing for me, and this Ganni number ticks every box. To embrace the Valentine's spirit, I'd add pops of colour through accessories – I love the woven detailing and gold hardware on this Bottega Veneta clutch, and it's a classic style I could wear time and time again. I'd pair it with a classic knee-high boot – a real investment due to their wearability – and gold jewellery to complement the hardware on the bag."

"I'm pretty apathetic towards Valentine's Day, but rest assured, I won't let a chance to dress up pass me by. I personally prefer to pay tribute via a calculated nod (rather than a sartorial megaphone) to save me from slipping into novelty territory. I'm a sucker for a voluminous sleeve, and this knit by Ulla Johnson in a soothing brick shade is just gorgeous – I'm head over heels for the delicate tulle arrangement. I'd style it with these coated red flares by Rick Owens and high-octane platforms by Aquazzura to up the ante and tie it all together with a plush bow by Jennifer Behr. I'm a red lip fanatic, especially for special occasions, but at the moment I'm hooked on the mute pink-vermillion of Chanel's 31 Le Rouge in 'Rouge Croisière'."

"Valentine's Day (or Galentines Day) is the perfect excuse to get dressed up and give yourself some love. Rebecca Vallance has nailed sultry femininity with this fiery red dress complete with bows (a major trend right now). A pair of tights and black heels is my go-to when wearing any short outfit in the February cold - just ensure your hosiery is a light dernier to keep the look soirée-appropriate. I love this heart bag by Kate Spade for an added romantic touch."

"I love an occasion, especially when it's themed so my dream V-Day date night look would ideally involve a lot of red hearts. I love the idea of wearing a cute dress, like this one from Moschino which has the most adorable heart motif and cut-out panels and pairing it with leather loafers and scrunched socks. As someone with short hair, I love to add clips to accessorise and these red Miu Miu ones perfectly match both the dress and shoes. To finish off the look I would throw this divine Coach heart bag over my shoulder and pop on the red lip."
