I love getting a new dress for Valentine’s Day. It’s always fun to have something need when going out or even when staying home and having a nice Valentine’s Day date night at home.

I love dresses inspired by the 1940s-1960s, especially fit and flare dresses. There are some adorable vintage-inspired dresses that are perfect for Valentine’s Day if you also love the styles from those times.

If dresses aren’t your thing you can also find amazing skirts, shirts, sweaters, and accessories that are perfect for Valentine’s Day in two of my favorite shops ModCloth and Unique Vintage. 

Don’t want to buy a new dress? You can also rent vintage-inspired dresses from Gwynnie Bee. They carry brands like ModCloth and Unique Vintage and instead of buying a dress you rent it and send it back for more clothes. You can get 50% off your first month so it’s a great time to try it out. One month is cheaper than most of the dresses listed here and you can wear multiple dresses!

    I’m in love with the red dress at the top! I’ve never bought anything from Modcloth – they have some cute styles!

      I love ModCloth, they carry a lot of made in the USA clothing, vegan shoes, and even some organic clothing from time to time. And they are always having great sales.

    I’ve check out the ModCloth website and like a lot of what I see. I’ll have to look into getting something pretty for spring.
