Trend spotting: The most romantic date night looks for Valentine’s Day are inspired by the bedroom

From 90-inspired slip dresses to silk wrap robe midis, silky frocks are taking inspiration from the bedroom


UPDATED FEBRUARY 13, 2020 9:07 AM EST

There’s one thing about this season’s silky dresses – they are perfect for romance. From slip dresses inspired by 90s fashion to sexy wrap robe-style midi dresses that are perennially fashionable, there are plenty of choices that will take you from  Valentine’s Day  to summer  weddings . Softly clinging to your silhouette, silk dresses (whether they’re real silk or not!) are truly touchable, associated with softness, sensuality, and skin. And while they’re most commonly worn in the warmer season, the runways and It-girls are showing that with clever layering you can rock the trend all year long.

Brands like Versace and Balmain  helped start off this trend that can be worn for a host of looks and combinations. Here are some of our favorite influencers wearing the look, and some options for you to shop.

Total pink

Camila Coelho decided to go for a monochrome look for which her slip dress was the centerpiece. With a slit in the front and spaghetti straps, the slip dress got some warmth and coverage with a sheer turtleneck top that also accentuated the sensuality and delicateness of the outfit.
