We’re officially in the most romantic month of the year, with Valentine’s Day 2022 just around the corner. If you’re currently in the midst of planning a special experience for your partner, it’s important to note that your V-Day look needs to match to the occasion too. Whether you’re planning on putting together a home cooked meal, a romantic getaway, or a candlelit dinner, Vogue Arabia is here to help you select the perfect Valentine’s Day dress, based on your zodiac sign. Dive in!
Aries
Subtlety? Not your style, Aries. You’ve always been about going big, so why not extend that love for all things risqué to your Valentine’s Day look? Saint Laurent‘s bodycon latex number, which comes in a siren scarlet, is right up your style alley.
Taurus
Luxe, stylish and investment-worthy: Your Valentine’s Day look absolutely must incorporate all elements, Taurus, and Erdem’s embroidered silk organza midi is likely to appeal to your practical nature. While its corset detailing and 3D blooms bring in the romance, that soft fabric and flawless fit will have you coming back for years.
Gemini
Your dual personality isn’t for everyone, but it’s exactly the thing that your partner loves most about you, Gemini. This Valentine’s Day, play up your strengths with a tongue-in-cheek dress that’s as interesting as your personality. Our pick: Staud’s two-tone metallic ribbed dress in cherry red and candy pink.
Cancer
Hello, most romantic sign of the zodiac! Valentine’s Day truly is your moment to shine, and you know it. Celebrate your love for the saccharine this year with a sweet number your beau will adore—Rotate Birger Christensen’s bow-detailed mini dress, which proves that time with you is the ultimate gift.
Leo
Valentine’s Day may be all about showing your S.O. how special they are, but you know that self-love is just as important, Leo. Indulge your wild side this year with a fierce animal print Dolce & Gabbana number. Your date will love this one too, guaranteed.
Virgo
You’re meticulous about just about everything in life, Virgo, so it comes as no surprise that your Valentine’s Day look needs to be one that matches those sky-high standards. Cue Self-Portrait’s beautifully detailed broderie anglaise dress, perfect for outdoor brunches, late night strolls by the beach, and everything in between.
Libra
If it’s not good enough to be in a museum, it’s not good enough for you, Libra. Thankfully, Oscar de la Renta has just the right Valentine’s Day ensemble for you. Draped in an ombré silk-chiffon blend, this one-shoulder gown is equal parts poetic and sensual. Need we say more?
Scorpio
Scorpio, you’ve never needed to put much effort into making an impact—your magnetic, mysterious personality does that for you. All you need this Valentine’s Day is a dress that accentuates your sensual nature, and Alexander Wang‘s ruched ebony number does the job with ease.
Sagittarius
Your free-spirited nature is no secret to the world, Sagittarius. This Valentine’s Day, bring out your playful side with an unexpected date night look. Our bet is that you’re going to love Reem Acra’s sparkling purple cape dress, complete with keyhole neckline for added drama.
Capricorn
Elegance has to be a key element of everything you touch, Capricorn, Valentine’s Day or not. For the exclusive gourmet meal we know you’ve already planned for your partner, pick a look that appeals to your stately style. Norma Kamali’s draped one-shoulder dress—which you may recall seeing on Sarah Jessica Parker in And Just Like That…—is the ideal pick for you.
Aquarius
As the trendsetter of the zodiac, you never shy away from a sartorial challenge, Aquarius. This year, kickstart Valentine’s Day with a dress that ups your style cred further. Ditch the predictable pieces for Alaïa‘s fringed midi, which comes in stark white and blood red.
Pisces
Valentine’s Day with you is a dreamy affair, Pisces, so why not look the part? Serenade your S.O. this year in a flowy look that channels your whimsical personality. Our eye is on Semsem’s shaded silk-satin gown featuring Swarovski-studded straps.
