Every year, Americans openly show their love for each other with chocolates, roses, dinner dates and romantic trips. Yes, some of us may be a little bitter about not having one to call darling on this day, but Valentine's Day is meant for appreciating anyone who you adore, admire or love. This can include your parents, aunts, cousins and nieces. You get the idea. So, celebrate Valentine's Day in style with these cute outfits.

A night at the ballet for you and your loved one, perhaps? If so, why not dress up as a ballerina with a light pink, tulle puffy skirt, made elegant and modern with a crop top and heels? To add that golden touch of glamour, add a statment necklace, and you are good too go. Besides, who doesn't want a pink, tulle skirt in their closet? This girly yet elegant outfit is a solid choice for a date that rolls from day to night.

Black, white and red—not your typical mix of colors but a good palette of colors to show that you acknowlege Valentine's Day exists. To transform this outfit from day to night, throw on some red heels and red lipstick.

What is it about a red dress that makes a woman feel so bold and beautiful? Whatever the psychology behind it, a red dress with some animal-print pumps will intensify any outfit and will surely make you the center of attention.

White lace is always a beautiful choice to wear on any day. Pair it with a black hat and shorts to add some edge to the outfit. For the night time, throw on some tights or printed tights, and you've got yourself a winning Valentine's Day outfit.

Now if you just want to protest Valentine's Day completely but still want to look cute, try a preppy black dress. Avoid being a complete downer on everyone's day of love by adding some color with white, yellow, red or any other color you fancy.
